    Who was there in 2001?

    I was there. If I remember right, the spread was Cats -3.5 and late in the game some people in the crowd were chanting "Win by 4! Win by 4!"

    Fall from Grace, BTN or NU?

    Did you try the BTN game finder on their website? I'm in Northern Virginia and I couldn't find the game at first, but when I tried the Xfinity channel numbers that the game finder suggested, I found the game. Granted, it was in the system as "Villanova at Penn State," but it was our game. Dame...

    Oregon-OSU

    I've seen a couple games at Autzen (including one vs. Michigan State during the Marcus Mariota era) and it's very fun and very loud. Good tailgating scene too.

    Football Game Chants from the Past

    "Northwestern them! Northwestern them! Make them pay heavily every quarter!"

    OT: MNF

    Heck of a game. The mastermind of the Chiefs' offense is, of course, Andy Reid, but the KC quarterbacks coach is one Mike Kafka. It must be fun to work with a QB like Mahomes.

    Northwestern Professors who authored their own textbooks

    Not exactly teaching from his own textbook, but I took a literature class from Alfred Appel who taught from the version of "Lolita" that he had annotated (he was an expert on Nobokov and took a class from him as an undergrad). Appel liked to joke that critics thought he didn't exist because his...

    Darren Rovell's NU fandom

    My oddest piece of memorabilia is (was) one of the large turf "40" numerals from the hash marks of the old Dyche Stadium artificial turf field that was ripped out after the 1996 season when we went to grass. It was Thanksgiving weekend in 1996 and work had already begun to rip out the turf and...

    Nevada Game Notes

    Yup, the good ol' transitive NC. NU beat BC, who beat Notre Dame, who beat Florida State-- the eventual national champion. For more recent seasons and more fun with the transitive property, check out http://www.myteamisbetterthanyourteam.com/

    Nevada Game Notes

    Maybe! I was a sophomore and that was probably the biggest win I had seen up to that point (BC was ranked, right?). I remember rushing the field with a bunch of people after the game but not much after that. Good times.

    Nevada Game Notes

    I remember the game-- a rainy afternoon, and ESPN was there (a much bigger deal back then). The Cats scored late in the 4th after Scott's long return; Barnett went for two and Dennis Lundy ran it in for the lead and the eventual 22-21 winning margin. We beat Wake Forest the following week to...

    Injury report: Washington out, Mahoney doubtful

    If one takes a little license here (like reading "going" quickly in one syllable instead of two), this could be the start of another haiku thread (where have those gone?): I am more concerned about who is going to fill in for Mahoney

    Northwestern losing ground on Yeast

    He's really a budding star. And by all accounts, a fungi, too.
