    Northwestern Should be a Basketball School

    I was at NU in the late 60's and remember a lot of football pain except for the occasional good players such as Chico Kurzawski, Mike Adamle and a few guys on defense. Basketball was way more enjoyable at McGaw Hall with Dan Davis and some good players around him

    Where we stand post-Washington debacle

    To catch a ball, the WR's and TE's need a QB to throw it accurately to them provided they do their job of getting open. So far we have disappointing results from Wright and Lausch although there were a few drops by the receivers. Is R Hilinski completely out of the picture? Maybe Lou...

    Where we stand post-Washington debacle

    Sorry, I meant to say "and sometimes Kirtz" but a brain fart intervened.

    Where we stand post-Washington debacle

    We've got a "get me the damn ball" type receivers in Henning and Kirtz, plus reliable TE's. Hopefully Lausch can flush the UW game and get the damn ball out on time and accurately.

    Sullivan in for Iowa

    What street are you talking about? Would be nuts not to start JL after his second half on Saturday. That said, bringing in Wright as a change of pace vs UW could be effective.

    Interesting. Hindsight is 20/20 but we lost badly on this one.

    247 posted 2024 final top 150 and..

    Slightly related (or unrelated) to the ratings of NU recruits is a question about the Indiana Pacers player Aaron Nesmith, who so far is doing the best work in guarding the Knicks star Jalen Brunson. He played at Vanderbilt which he chose over offers from Florida, Virginia Tech, Harvard and...

    Do you pull for the B10 @ the final 4

    Very thoughtful points and his success was not expected. But his mean spiritedness is unusual and probably every college center gets unwanted stares and lame comments from classmates ("how's the weather up there," etc). Clingan, Burns, Big Matt and others appear to handle it far better.

    Do you pull for the B10 @ the final 4

    Coach Painter is one of the good guys in men's college hoops, and his comments about our Cats were gracious and excellent. Unfortunately his center when he opens his mouth does not take after him. Plus the refs improve his performance by never calling fouls against him. Edey will most likely...

    Final observations from 11 rows back

    Some very good observations. Assuming Big Matt heals and returns, he does bring some unique qualities to the table and will be a more important part of next year's team because we won't have Boo and Langborg. That said, Coach CC is someone a lot of good players in the portal should be eyeing...

    Next two games an audition for Coach Jake?

    For the first time since 2020, he has a quality qb and good receivers. Next year will be more challenging unless Braun can land some talent in the portal. Is having MB around next year a help or a hindrance?

    Great Video on Minnesota game

    If Braun is here and the interim label removed, the eligible players will have a reason to stay. The key will be retaining the asst coaches and/or making some necessary changes.

    New Daily Herald article on Fitz

    Probably they'll settle with Fitz and the players as soon as possible. With Fitz NU is saying he either knew about the hazing or should have known, but with the players they'll have to say it wasn't all that bad or maybe wasn't really hazing. Sooner is better on all fronts to try and control...

    Tuck is…

    I'm no fan of Tucker or MSU, but if she was an unwilling participant in the phone sex, why didn't she just tell him to take a hike and hang up. Suspect MT's lawyer will ask that question.
