    Back to being noteworthy

    None of that is true - RE Butler, anyway. They've won 7 straight 1st round games, but they are 11-4 in first round games since MM went to a Field of 64+. So yeah, our 3-0 IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GATO ... YOU DID THIS! I knew there had to be an explanation. Now we know.

    Page status?

    We should take money from softball, a perennial Big Ten power, and sometimes national power, as well as lacrosse, which is considered one of the giants in the sport ...... to improve baseball, which has incredible obstacles to overcome, and wrestling, which hasn't been remotely competitive in an...

    Let's do P5 schools that have never lost in the 1st round.

    Thrilled the country has another chance for the FRANCON experience

    I mean Iowa would be the ultimate, but given where the seeding figured to end up, Illinois is a great gift as well. Very happy for Fran. Honestly has to be a really cool thing to bring your alma mater back to a position on the national stage.

    Will we accept a Crown bid if offered?

    Can't see it happening. Not the way they discussed post-game after Purdue. It's fine.

    Nick Martinelli

    Man, what a career. NOBODY here thought this was possible for a guy that got an offer from Elon and .... yeah. Nobody thought this was possible after a pretty forgettable freshman season. OK, UNFORGETTABLE because the Cats finished 2nd in the B1G. But nothing Martinelli did suggested stardom. A...

    2025-26 NET rankings thread

    I hate to Debbie Downer this, and it's always fun to pretend, and I'd LOVE to be wrong .... I just don't see us playing beyond this run. They're investing a lot into it emotionally and this IS their tournament run. I think they're healthier overall than last year, which was a different kind of...

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Oregon

    Large, relatively speaking of course. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out. And honestly, giving NM a realistic shot at an extra game/win in 15 vs 18 matchup and more chance to score points ...... wouldn't be the worst thing.

    Jake West is a WINNER

    Jake West might be the perfect storm we've never had at Northwestern. A game good enough to piss off other teams' fanbases AND A social media presence big enough to piss off other teams' fanbases. If we make the tournament during his run + his 1.6 million Westies on TikTok .......

    Rondale Moore dead

    I'm sure it had nothing to do with it. Just a terribly sad, tragic thing that happened. Also, these boards can be toxic as hell when things don't go the way people want. Let's not ever forget these guys are human and deal with pressures that most of us can never imagine.

    Rondale Moore dead

    This is absolutely devastating and I'm sickened over it. I think sometimes we ALL need to remember these guys are human. Making character accusations about players, making ANY accusations about players for that matter, because they don't perform the way we WANT them to ... I think sometimes we...

    If you attended the Cats-Huskies game ...

    So poorly done. As usual. Maybe the reason the 1995 Rose Bowl intros were so bad was NOT because of Fitz. Maybe we just don't get it.
