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.

Much appreciated. That said, I've been going to games since the Damien Anderson and Zac Kustok days when I was like 12 or so, so it's not like I'm a new fan.

GO CATS!!!!

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.

You realize that the reason why the thread "deteriorated" was 100% Turk's doing? He derailed the thread with an attack on other posters that was quickly deleted by the mods. And I don't drink.

What is your Twitter handle, chicagocatfan24? Just in case I'm not already following you.

Like you, I have no connection to the university, but have been a big fan for a long time.

I cover the white sox and Chicago pop culture for a really popular blog called barstool sports. That's how I know a lot of the players at NU, because a lot of the team reads the site. If you guys saw the tweet where Christian Salem got in the "holder war" with the holder from Minnesota, I was tagged in the tweet with him and Darren Rovell. It's @Barstoolwsd but be forewarned, if anyone decides to follow me I'm not the most politically correct follow on earth

Oh they don't bother me. No big deal. What is disappointing is the question about the article on Harris. Most posters are pretty decent, but the usual 3 or 4 haters are usually full blown liberals who don't like Trump and get bothered by other demographics that are not full blown liberal. One only needs to go over on the rant board and you will see the same 4 or 5 posters blabbing all of their liberal hate.

That's the funniest thing I've ever seen written on the board.

Nice article on the various struggles of Mr. Harris. I grew up under tough circumstances in a bad neighborhood as well. As my mother-in-law used to say, "I sometimes think you were born 40." It is to NU's advantage to have a player with a 40 mind and an 18 or 19 body. Congratulations!!!

I found this article a little sad. I'm glad Harris has found an outlet to help with his difficult home life, but scary that he is willing to put his immediate and long term health and well being at risk for a shot at that NFL dream - which for him at least is a legit dream. That's the reality of tackle football though. I hope Harris is able to continue to skirt the serious injuries he has already come very close too.
