    Who was there in 2001?

    We were there in 2001, saw FloridAlum and others. My wife was pregnant with our son (now a college senior) so she couldn't whoop it up...we hadn't announced yet as we weren't even at 3 months yet, but everyone we knew figured it out quickly enough. On the night before the game we saw George...

    Northwestern's 2024 commits and prospects react to Braun hiring

    Hey Euro! Great to see you still on here. I haven't been on this board for years for reasons, but stopped by today after the most improbable bowl season in memory. Hope you're well, maybe we'll see you at the Bowl game!

    Remembering Alan Smithee - Photos included

    So very sad to hear. Smithee was great. Anyone else remember way back when he was Terminal V Cat? We had some great chats at Purple Parties over the years. Rest in peace, my friend, you will truly be missed.

    Anyone watch the Senior Bowl?

    I could have sworn that Fitz was drafted in the 7th round?

    Indiana irritated at Big Ten over Citrus Bowl snub

    We also got snubbed by the Outback that year to end up in San Antonio. And a few years later, we again got snubbed by the Citrus to end up against Auburn in the Outback. Grow up Indiana. Maybe not so ridiculous to be passed over by a division champion? At least we could be justified that way...

    Holy Smokes. Win Out = CFP. Lose to OSU and it's still likely Rose Bowl

    Whip. Inflation. Now.

    12/25 166 yds 1/1 TD/INT

    I'm guessing you meant "less than 50 percent" unless math isn't your strong suit. 12/25 is a 48% completion rate.

    Some good, some bad in a fairly boring win...

    Also good: beating an OOC opponent outside of a bowl game. It's been awhile, and we never seem to do great against OOC teams where the spread is big in our favor either. So it's very nice to get the job done rather than pulling an Akron. (Still didn't beat the spread on this one, but it was 19...

    Official - Holiday vs Utah

    Hmmm, Michigan State, Iowa and Wisconsin. There's something in common with each of them regarding NU this year, I can't quite put my finger on it...

    Can West Coast Alum Represent?

    We've already booked flights and hotel, and have a lot of California friends who are planning to attend. There's a ton of NU alumni out here, especially in the LA area, I think we are going to show up very well.

    Official - Holiday vs Utah

    Thanks for the update. Any word on Brinkley?

    Bowl Politics...

    Having the runners-up to each conference Championship seems like a no brainer for this game. Add to that we have tons of SoCal alumni who haven't had a local game since 1996, and Iowa fans will love to hook up their RVs to caravan to Florida, but would be unlikely to do the same for California...

    Board Rules

    For those of you who might not have seen it, I highly recommend watching an on-demand episode of The Mike Tyson Mysteries. It's an absolutely bizarre and hilarious cartoon done faithfully in the art and animation style of Scooby Doo, all completely tongue in cheek. Mike (voicing the role...

    Io_a 63 - ILLLLLLLINOIS 0 FINAL

    Some of us oldsters recall us losing to Iowa 63-0 back in the early 80s. I recall us being a bit tipsy from the parking lot and finding ourselves behind the Iowa band, and swiping the corn cobs off the hats of some band members. Almost as much fun as the marshmallow wars. Wow, how much better...
