    Why I'm cautiously optimistic about the offense after week 1

    Also in the "never strapped it on" camp but it felt like the offense made greater use of quick-developing plays vs. the Bajakian teams of old. I'm hoping that helps to mask some deficiencies on the On-line, and maybe create better rhythm when we have the ball.

    Brooklyn, we did it! ROLL CALL: who else is going?

    Section 206 for me. Gonna see if I can dig up my MAKE SHOTS shirt for inspiration

    OT: BBall v FBall?

    I think we did! Senior week '07. As you mentioned, it was pretty easy to recognize folks from the group of 30 that would trudge out to Wednesday night games in November

    OT: BBall v FBall?

    I prefer football as a sport, but as a student (03-07) going to WRA was far more fun. As others noted, the sound and energy in the building is like nothing you could get in Ryan Field. I left a few games with my ears ringing... My friends and I stood in the first row of the student section...

    "Secret scrimmage" vs. Iowa State

    Reminds me of trying to make the drive to a game in Champaign in 2 hours back in like '06. Moving at such a clip that a cop pulled a U-turn on 57. Didn't have his radar on so best he could do was throw us a ticket for like 80mph. May've helped that Ivan Tolic was in the car - easy to sell "we're...

    If Northwestern hires Braun how disappointed would you be?

    Shocked by the lack of enthusiasm for Braun here. Defense is night and day from a year ago. He stepped into an impossible situation and is one win away from matching Fitz's win total from the past 2 years. From an outsiders perspective, it also seems he's been able to keep the team together and...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. No. 6 Penn State

    Even despite giving up chunks on the ground, tackling feels night and day from the first three games of the year. Regardless of how the rest of this game goes, this team looks like it could still find some wins this year

    Visiting Fan

    This season Northwestern fans are are piloting their new, super secret, personal stealth technology at games. It will look like they're not even there

    Game thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota

    The most disappointing part about our start is how the QB play is wasting what's been a decent job by the D and the O-line so far

    Bryant throwing the ball 15+ yards is a wasted down at this point

    Do we need 1 more win to clinch a bid

    I'm as big a pessimist as any, but 1 more win and NU is an absolute lock. We have a pristine record on everything the tourney looks at: above .500 in conference, zero bad losses, strength on the road (even with 3 more road losses), multiple "great" wins, probably in top 20 in country in Quad 1...
