    Sullivan starts next week?

    I wonder if Sullivan will be available next week. The play before his TD pass he was thrown down hard on his right shoulder. On the replay from the end zone of his TD pass, he immediately drops his right arm after the release...hopefully from just a residual stinger, but perhaps something...

    Why has this never been posted here before?

    Two thoughts: 1. I am surprised he didn't look behind him when he went down. He looked like and O-lineman blocking downfield who'd been hit from behind by his tackled running back. 2. In the words of former Nebraska Basketball Coach after his fall: "A lesser athlete would have been...

    The greatest player in Northwestern men's basketball history

    He has been a class act for a long time. I grew up 3 blocks from McGaw and started going to every game in 1963 at age 4. I had Terry Gamber and Jim Burns as counselors at Wildcat Club day camp. I enrolled at NU in 1976 and on my second day on campus ran into Billy McKinney (a senior) outside...

    OT: Patten Gym being renovated!

    I believe the coach's name was Bill Peterson. I remember he also use to shoot the video of the Men's basketball games to break down. Very much a gentleman.

    QB Transfer

    Actually it's why Fitz first recruited his brother, so he ultimately could get to Hunter, and his "inextinguishable hate for the Hawkeyes."

    Well, it wasn't 54-51....

    That brought back so many fond memories of a great weekend... I was 19 and living on the North Shore. I had big plans... First, it started with sweltering at that exciting game, then getting in my car to visit a friend at Wash U in St Louis, who told me to "just get off at the Kingshighway...

    Field goal kickers

    As I recall it took FloridAlum and myself the first quarter to drag you inside to the game. "No, no, just one more lap AROUND the stadium...PLEASE."

    Field goal kickers

    Miami (OH), Musso's non-fumble... but I don't think it's unique to NU fans. Every retiring coach mentions that the lows of losses eventually felt worse than the highs of winning. What is most interesting to me is that fans always remember the dropped interception or fumble, etc that cost us a...

    Tex Winter died today.

    Two favorite memories of Tex at NU: First, after he fell off his chair arguing a call (see above), he used to just sit with his legs crossed and give the officials a dismissive wave with his hand. Second, reporters asked him about Jay Vincent at MSU, and Tex replied something like "We tried to...
