Matt Harris article today on Inside NU
- Thread starter FloridAlum
- Start date
Honestly, most fans don't know what they are talking about, other than you and a few others.
Our team is around most of the inside nu writers quite often and they have our best interest in mind. It pisses me off how some of our fans rip on insidenu and question their loyalty.
Oh Turk, I been meaning to tell you that I don't think Fitz likes you at all. Prior to the Stanford game we talked about social media policy, and your name came up.
or when a link is talked about and its good, the link could be provided. this helps the conversation to continue. but thanks for the assholism anyway. i apologize to op for me coming across hard. please forgive, and you were right. story is great.
JBC, how the hell are you? Great year bro! Fitz is fine. He got furious with me when I called him out on his problem of coughing games up when he was leading. But he has since learned from the error of his ways and stopped the ultra conservative nonsense in 4th quarters with leads. I don't look for credibility and could care less who likes me, so me and Fitz are good.
Merry Christmas and let's plow some holes for Juice.
Go Cats!
1. I didn't go to NU. I'm a 27 year old from Chicago with zero ties to the institution who LOSES SLEEP when Northwestern loses. The university launched a major marketing campaign not too long ago geared toward people exactly like me. You know, the diehard Chicago fan that's desperate for a college football team to cheer for not named Notre Dame. So calling me "chicago'not'catfan24" is incredibly insulting.
2. I have never said a bad word about insideNU whatsoever. I couldn't tell you the last time I went to their website without being directed to like with this article, which was great. Other than that, I don't know anything about the website, because I only go to it like once every few months. So, you are lying right now.
3. What's really shameful is that you're trying to pick a fight by making stuff up. I call you out with facts that are regurgitated by people smarter than you (and me) with regards to football like GCG and the players on the team that I'm friends with. You come back with lies about me. SMFH
A good read highlighting a exemplary young man. Why am I proud to be a Wildcat fan ? Here's just one excellent reason.
Making up stories and bearing false witness against others is Turk's hobby. Turk likes to rip on Fitz with made-up BS but then turtles and becomes speechless when Fitz invites him to watch practice.
Let's give insidenu credit, Glades, and focus on Matthew Harris and how awesome an image he is for NU, instead of you and Chicagocatnotfan24 sabatoging another great thread. Good Grief!
Look, you can continue the Turk hate on another thread.
Merry Christmas
They have our best interest in mind? That is as naive a post as I have seen in ages.
Frankly, I didn't care much for the article. It was a lot of wasted words that revealed little and was not very engaging, IMO. How about showing some examples of their poverty and explicitly how Matthew confronted his family's issues. How hard did Matthew work? Examples, please. How has the family's situation changed since Matthew has been at NU.
Yo. I wouldn't have even commented in this thread had you not mentioned my name, but I'm the one sabotaging it?
I don't understand how I'm "not" a Cats fan because I call you out for knowing absolutely nothing about the game of football. Explain this to me.
Anyone remember how Turk got banned from posting on here and he went and completely decimated Lou V, Fitz and the program on the barren scout boards thinking people would follow him over there? And when they didn't he scurried back over here???
Did you intentionally reply to his post quickly because you knew who started this thread and that any attempt to derail the discussion would be deleted in about 10 secs, which Turk's post was?
It's always worth it to kick Turk around. How are we going to get the biggest, most hilarious lies out of him otherwise? It's fun to see how low Turk will go.
Didn't even think about that. We probably haven't even seen his nut worst posts since they were deleted before someone could reply...
The same applies to Stupor. You don't want to miss his posts because they're gems of hostility, name-calling, and insults. I reply to them when I can to save them for posterity, but they're so bad that the moderators have to delete almost entire threads.
Don't sweat it, turk is pathetic. He's only interested in himself and his stupid opinions about the Fake on the Lake and The Problem of Fitz that turns out wrong. He should've stayed on Scout. We need more fans like you.
Indeed. He went completely out of his mind on the basketball board yesterday, with a below-the-belt attack on Tre in a thread that had nothing to do with Tre at all. Several people replied with their disgust, but the mods just deleted the whole thing (and rightly so), so now it's gone. It is funny though, you see an apology (backhanded of course) later in the thread from Stupor for a post that most people were not aware existed, so it appears that he is apologizing for nothing....
Frankly, it's disappointing to read your post suggesting that Matthew didn't have it tough. He doesn't have to give you any examples. The article was a very good one and most normal people could appreciate the difficult journey Matthew had before him. Not like you, turnkey situation. Food on the table, best of clothes. Shame on you, Glades! Let's embrace how Matthew has decided to stick with the team and continue his football journey.
LOL! I'd sure like to know how his life was tough so I can appreciate it. Provide examples of how much he has worked to help out his family. Just don't tell us over and over again about overcoming adversity without providing examples. After all, I grew up on the mean streets of Wheaton, Illinois and know a thing or two about struggling.
I saw both Turk's and Stupor's posts. Stupor's post was the most amusing of the two because it was particularly nasty and entirely unprovoked. Turk's was just the usual idiocy.
I'm definitely one of the people who can't stand Inside NU and I'll explain why.
They don't know anything about football, yet they "break down" tape. Except they don't. They watch the TV. They don't have access to coaching tape so can't accurately comment on everything that happens on the field. Then they attempt to back up their misguided thoughts with made up statistics
They provide grades on players. Negative grades on some in particular, yet can't handle it when they get people who disagree with them.
The only best interests they have are their own. They're writing on an SB Nation website hoping to write well enough to further their careers. They aren't writing to benefit the team or their fans. Just themselves.
HOWEVER, the piece on Matt Harris was nicely written. The guys over there can write far better than I ever could, but I'm not trying to become a journalist or a writer. When they stick to what they know, which is the individual players on a somewhat personal level, they're pretty good. Personally, I didn't think it was well edited, but they did a great job overall on the Kyle Prater piece last spring. I know the kid and I learned things about him from their piece that I didn't know.
But I will point out again that when they try to write X and O's pieces, they fall short. No one will convince me other wise.
Also, JBC, I didn't hear it from Fitz directly, I heard it from a reliable source, but I heard the same thing regarding our resident board troll.
I appreciate that. I've taken a lot of friends to NU games over the last few years who would have never remotely considered rooting for NU. One friend in particular was at the game with me for Gameday against OSU in 2013. We left as Siemien threw the last pick and both had $100 on NU to cover (having just graduated college that was a lot to us at the time). Didn't realize until the next morning the bad beat that occurred because we made a beeline to the parking lot to drink ourselves stupid. He'd consider himself a big Cats fan now because of how great a time he had that day.
Long story short, I'm trying to do my part. I have 6600 Twitter followers, most of them being from Chicago, and make sure everyone of them knows how good Anthony Walker and Justin Jackson are. And how Chris Collins is gonna lead NU to the promise land. And how Fitz is the next joe pa.
Because of all that, calling me chicago'not'catfan24 is basically the biggest diss you can direct at me. And with the Internet voice I have, I have gotten A LOT of disses directed at me.
So piss off with that, Turk. Calling me "not" a cats fan is beyond insulting. At least call me an ******* or something. That I can deal with.

The interesting thing is that turk us not an NU grad either. He is not the voice of the NU fan base. I entered NU in 1980 and went to every home game my freshman year. As you may know that was what we refer to as the Dark Ages. We did not win a single game until I was a junior. I could never imagine we could have as much success as we have now. Nor could I imagine fans like you wanting to root for the Cats. So it's a big welcome and hoping that NU will truly become Chicago's Big Ten team. Screw turk.
I've been posting in these boards since I was in HS. I am fully aware of all the idiosyncrasies of the boards, Turk in particular. I never started calling him out until players on the actual team, and ones who are current starters, said he's pissed off parents of recruits, etc.
That's when I said enough was enough. That said, I'm done with it

What does that even mean? I sincerely hope that your act on these boards is just that or you probably make the lives of everyone around you miserable.
Turk,leave these guys alone, just ignore them. This thread was started with a good article about Harris but has deteriorated into questions about Harris and another assault on you. These guys are all drunk.
