    KJ Windham to the portal

    Sorry I missed it. What was the rumored "off season reason?" I thought KJ was going to take a huge jump after the way he finished his freshman season. Hope he finds a place to shine.

    NU vs. NU

    Perhaps they recognized Fitz's limited career at Northwestern? Lipsky played four years and graduated. Fitz played one quarter and turned pro.

    2026 NUSB Thread

    Only 3 strikeouts? Seems like an odd way to get a no-hitter in softball. Congrats Marina!

    Very nice read on women's sports at NU

    At least four of the women on NU's team left the ranks of coaches after their careers were over because they saw such limited opportunities. PPD, they make the same arguments about black head coaches in the NFL, but how many are there now? I think the current total is three. You say it's 70%...

    Very nice read on women's sports at NU

    One thing from the article that is probably overlooked -- such as the Rock thread on the search for a new women's basketball coach -- is the fact that the incredibly successful women's teams at NU are led by female coaches. With all due respect to Coach McKeown (who I consider to be a friend)...

    Martinelli's buzzer beater ekes out a 63-62 win over Oregon

    Man we shot the ball poorly in that 1st half. Should have blown that team out

    Gotta give these guys credit

    Not anymore. Unless you’re out due to documented injury, 1 game is too many. Otherwise I’d say give Bannerman some run

    Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Indiana

    And yet the zebras decided to review it without a challenge! Yeah the non-call against Gelo wasn't good, but neither was that foul call against Tre. And they missed at least five fouls against Nick at the other end of the floor!

    Onions, baby, onions. . . as Bill Raftery would say.

    Neighborhood Traffic

    i agree with this wholeheartedly. I would attribute this to the reduction in street parking in the areas around W-R and NRF. Fewer cars parked on Ashland and Lincoln make it much easier to get out of the area...

    The effort was there, the shooting and stamina were not

    The review was for a hook and hold, which is called much more in today's game. I haven't gotten to review the replay that recorded on my dvr yet, but that was what was reviewed...

    The effort was there, the shooting and stamina were not

    When guys are playing their 8th or 9th season of a college sport, it will be hard to enforce an age cap of 21! Time for 5 years of eligibility, no matter if you get hurt or not. People get injured. That's life. And enough with the Euro pros. The 5 years begins from high school graduation, not...
