    NU/UCLA 2005 Sun Bowl

    Two observations while watching until Cats took a 22-0 lead: --Note how quickly the ball comes out of Bazanez's hands and how he finds the open receiver. --This was Randy Walker's last game. He wasn't the greatest at recruiting big names, but he could get more out of his 2- and 3-stars than...

    My column: Where is the Preston Stone we were promised?

    Thanks for telling it like it is, Lou. Wildcat Report had understandably reported Stone's addition with high expectations. I bought in, too, hoping that we finally had a big-time success at the most important position on the field. I read all the stories about his early transfer to get in more...

    Welcome back Turk & Wrassler!

    What about the other old timer, the very witty Gladeskat. His ongoing effort to coax, wheedle and cajole Turk out of his Flat Earth dogma was great entertainment!

    Fly Eagles Fly

    And what's prophetic here is that this was taped seven weeks before the Super Bowl. Also, I like the fact that these guys slipped in a lyrical tribute to George Halas, a clever rhyming that played off "Dallas."

    Fly Eagles Fly

    Too bad that you were too young to witness the Bears' dismantling of the New England Patriots in the 1986 Super Bowl: 46-10. Buddy Ryan, Fridge as goal-line running back, the 46 defense, Ditka and a regular season record of 15-1. Legendary.

    Ben Johnson to Bears

    Thanks for fleshing out the full bio on this versatile gentleman. To that end, I should note that he also wrote "The Fox," though historians have forever misspelled his surname. Also, the date of publication calls into question whether the author was actually a defensive back for the Cats. The...

    Jack Lausch is joining the Baseball team. Is he quitting football?

    What about Aubrey Fields (forever)?

    Northwestern offers 2026 TE and Missouri state champ Jack Utz

    This guy has NIL written all over him -- namely on the back of his jersey. (His inevitable nickname: Chip.)

    Northwestern feels like a good fit for Georgia QB Marcus Romain

    It's fine that Romain's smarts produce a 4.2 in the classroom, but it would be even better if his legs could deliver those numbers on a quarterback keeper.

    Transfer OL Matt Keeler

    Let's take Ben Johnson seriously.. Before his NU football career, he wrote The Fox and he now coaches the scrappy Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball team. He is a true scholar-athlete.

    Local NU Reporting: A Caution

    I'd say it would be someone who didn't think too kindly of Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieinemy.

    This season compared to the previous two downer years

    CORRECTION: Meant to say the turn-around in the Minnesota game. Well cataloged.

    This season compared to the previous two downer years

    Like most everyone else on this board, I was devastated by Fitz's firing, and especially for the lack of due process and the failure to release the investigative report that was the alleged basis for his sacking. Having said that, I saw a difference in the talent and determination of the team...

    What to know about Utah for the Las Vegas Bowl

    Let's start the betting now: How many times will our announcers call the Utah quarterback Bryson Bryant and the Cat quarterback Ben Barnes? Perhaps they'll even work Brooks Barnhizer into the play-by-play! Ah, Reminders of Nomenclature Past from the esteemed Turk.
