    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 19 USC

    Hard to see this team winning another game.

    FOOTBALL Game thread for NU vs. Oregon

    Since Thorson graduated, the QB transfer portal approach has been rough for us. Ramsey was great and Bryant developed over the season into a good option, but between Johnson, Hilinski, and now Stone, I’m really missing the recruit and develop approach that gave us years of going through Siemian...

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Tulane

    Sort of. I mean, the way he got the job and spent his first year with Fitz's staff.... I get it. But I just never got the sense he was bringing in a fresh set of eyes because he was always playing catchup. It feels like he is running Fitz's program/system. I just think we need a Barnett-like...

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Tulane

    The program has not had a true outsider come in and give it a top to bottom evaluation and rethinking since Randy Walker arrived 25 years ago. It's time.

    Crowd Today

    The alternative was to do this at lakeside, except we hadn’t planned for that when this was scheduled. I’m also not sure if the economics would have worked to do this lakeside if Wrigley was available. But I thought when we were trying to figure out what to do for this season we basically...

    Were we in on Card as a transfer before landing on Wright?

    Game Thread: Northwestern at Washington

    As you may recall from the reports surrounding his getting the permanent job, virtually nobody had interest in the job the last time around, at least once a lot of the specifics were made clear to them. That won’t change if we move on this off-season. Like it or not, this is where we are through...

    He’s the guy to get us through the rough patch of the Fitz firing and the two year nomad period. Beyond that? I remain a skeptic, but he needs to get a year or two post stadium rebuild to show if he is or isn’t the guy.

    In defense of Wright

    I feel like overall we’ve had a good run of quarterback play the last 20 years or so. But when we’ve been bad there, we have been terrible. The issue is that since Thorson, we haven’t developed anyone, so more often than not we’ve been indefensible (though I continue to wonder how a season of TJ...

    Bowl Destination is a Gragg Fail

    Our well documented and particularly poor attendance this year and the fact we are still scandal tainted in the eyes of the national media provably didn’t help.

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Illinois

    I think it comes down to what you’ve seen the kicker do in warm up. If it’s out of his range, it’s out of his range. Honestly, I’m more annoyed that they couldn’t get more yards running the ball on first and second downs.

    Imagine what this team would have been if Bryant had been healthy all year. I’d give us a good chance to flip the results against both Iowa and Nebraska.
