My Dad turns 87 next month. He’s a DePaul man, as was his dad before him. But as a Rogers Park native, Northwestern was always his second-favorite team. And that connection got strengthened when I went there for grad school…twice! (I’m one of 8, but the only one of their kids to go to a B1G school, though several of their grandkids have gone to the various public B1G schools, including one to soon-to-be-member UCLA.)
NU MBB has never won a B1G title in his lifetime. (They did win in 1933, when his own parents were newlyweds.)
NU MBB has only come in 2nd in the B1G once in his lifetime. That was in 1959, when he and my mom were newlyweds. (They celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary this fall.)
Would’ve been nice to have won a couple of those close ones and won the B1G outright. But to say this season is historic is an understatement. As great as 2016-2017 was, we really stepped it up a notch this year, ESPECIALLY compared to expectations.
Dad is happy tonight. Needless to say, so am I. GO CATS!!! So proud of these guys.
