    Bigger Cinderella Story?

    Both Indiana and Northwestern's losingest in college football history labels are partly a function of their long history compared to many other schools. While Indiana has been a regular bottom dweller in the Big Ten, but they never sunk as deep as Northwestern for a longer period. Northwestern...

    Aiden Chiles visiting Hevanston

    Was reading up on some on MSU QB Chiles on some other sites. They reference that his performance this year was hindered by injuries, including a foot injury from a hard hit in an October game against UCLA that forced him to wear a walking boot. Sounds like he tried to play through the injury...

    Northwestern 2026 signees excited to play for new OC Chip Kelly

    All high school players going to college are inexperienced as college quarterbacks. Developmental should not be looked at as a bad word. Braun himself has said Northwestern is a developmental program, which is basically taking 2- and 3-star recruits and developing them within your program to...

    Northwestern 2026 signees excited to play for new OC Chip Kelly

    Agreed. A lighted recruited quarterback is usually a developmental quarterback who is likely not to start as an underclassman unless there are injury issues or something. Meanwhile, Northwestern does not have a good recent history with inexperienced, developmental quarterbacks being thrown to...

    New transfer Talan Chandler came to compete at center this season for NU

    Chandler makes 12 incoming transfers for the upcoming 2025 season. I thought we were a developmental program?

    Braun frustrated by impending roster limits

    Even if the NCAA is going to impose a 105-man limit, I would still think it's the type of thing that they could phase in rather than abruptly implement fully like let's say going from a 125-limit in year 1 to 120 in year 2, to 115 in year 3, to 110 in year 4, and then 105 in year 5. On the...

    Receivers Transferring?

    I read somewhere that Mike Wright was open to a position change. I would think if he were open to changing positions, it would make sense to stay. I think it would be harder to market himself through the transfer portal as an unknown entity to a new position.

    Can you believe this? No AC in NU’s hotel in Indy

    I used to manage some high-rise residential properties where there was central air and heat, but you could only have one system at a time. You would have to pick a point in the Spring to make the call that you are going to switch over for the season from Winter heating to Summer cooling. I...

    Big Ten Tournament

    From what I see we are #13 facing #12 Minnesota in the 1st Round. If we win then it is on against #5 Wisconsin in the 2nd Round. If we win a second time, then it is on to #4 UCLA in the quarterfinals. Win again, then "Most Likely" would be facing Michigan State in the seminfinals...

    Bad milestone for women's hoops

    Thank Coach Joe for his service, but it's not just 3 20+ loss seasons we're on pace for but it is also likely 3 single-digit win seasons in a row. Women's basketball recruiting seems to have fallen off in recent years. NU needs a fresh leader for women's basketball with more energy and...

    OT: Miami Hurricanes QB Carson Beck has Mercedes, $300K Lamborghini stolen from home

    Cuz just outright blew the money. After she won the money, she just went wild partying and going on trips and stuff with her friends and boyfriends and buying expensive stuff like TVs, stereos, cars, etc.. When she bottomed out, none of those good friends she'd partied with were there to bail...

    OT: Miami Hurricanes QB Carson Beck has Mercedes, $300K Lamborghini stolen from home

    Carson Beck should not have to worry about his car being stolen. At the same time, it does feel like he is misspending what could possibly be once-in-a-lifetime money. Even if it is $5 million, he should be thinking long-term as it is true there is no guarantee he is going to make it in the...

    Griffin Wilde - WR from S Dakota St

    Does Lujan get any grace for it being his first season? Sometimes, it takes time for the team to adjust to a new offensive scheme. I notice that ex-UCLA coach who went to Ohio State this year as a supposed offense guru, Chip Kelly, seemed to have a just above average offense during the...

    Cignetti quote on winning now

    I think Curt Cignetti has obviously done a great job. At the same time, as much as they have made vast improvement, Indiana has benefited from a really soft schedule non-conference schedule and avoidance of the strongest Big Ten teams. Washington is their only competition that currently has...
