Cats ranked 16th

Northwestern is way down the "Imperialism" list after the first week in terms of land it has (but it's better than no land of course). However, since it holds Chicago, it has the fourth-highest population of its dominion behind Rutgers, UCLA, and Maryland.

If NU starts 4-0 and hands Washington its first loss), NU will possibly have the lead in population and land at that point, as Washington holds all of Alaska.

And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's just a silly thing that I always enjoy. Until NU loses.
Doesn't UCLA have to split the LA SMSA with the school from Exposition Park?

Turk angered the board sticklers with his MrWickerpark shenanigans.

Frankly that was some of the funniest stuff on this board - ever.

Northwestern football hasn’t been fun for many years, and neither is this message board lately without the rant board or spicier posters like Turk. Thankfully my “other” B1G (the nearby Rutgahs Scarlet Knights) allow the fans, players, and posters to spice it up!

Go Cats! Go Knights! Go Irish! Meow.
Bring back the rant board.

What a difference a year makes!

A TRUE "Cat Man" would realize that Northwestern is a FOUNDING MEMBER of the Conference. Therefore the "Power Programs" have next to nothing to say about NU's continued/future membership in the B1G. (Read the conference bylaws if you don't believe me)
He’s talking about a likely or unlikely scenario where the top 6 programs decide to leave the B1G to create a super conference with the SEC heavies and say ND, Clemson and FSU. We could continue to be B1G members but that doesn’t mean those schools will be too.

Season Parking Q

Anyone know? I have season tickets but didn't see anything about parking when I bought them. When walking to the first game, we saw a sign for parking for season ticket holders... am I able to park there or did I need to buy parking when I bought my season tickets?

Where is everyone else parking? We wound up parking at Maple garage and taking the shuttle for the first game.

OTish: NFL Cats

Who we got this year?

Greg Newsome, Cleveland, starter, new contract
Rashawn Slater, healthy starter for the Chargers
Anthony Walker, now in Miami, not projected to start
Adetomiwa Adebawore, projected backup for the Colts
Dean Lowry, projected backup for the Steelers
Evan Hull, healthy but on the Colts practice squad

Anybody else?
Earnest Brown IV, 3rd-string DE for the Bucs
Cam Mitchell, backup CB for the Browns
Peter Skoronski, starting LG for the Titans

Ifeadi Odenigbo and Trevor Siemian had been with the Jets last year. Odenigbo was on injured reserve and chose free agency this summer, no one signed him, while Siemian appears to have not been re-signed.
Joe Jones was on the Titans last year before going on injured reserve, not sure what his status is now.

I can’t tell when he is on vacation or on his monthly suspension from the free board!
Bob hasn't been suspended since January 2023.

I really wish Turk would reappear. I am not sure he was an NU grad but supported the Cats financially and in spirit.
The RANT board disappeared because of the personal attacks and insults of just a few posters. The RANT board is gone but the primary offenders that led to its' demise are still here. I was exposed to a lot of different opinions-accepted some and rejected others but at least I had that choice.
Turk was permanently banned by Floridalum, and it was Jerry's call to remove the Rant board as well given the challenges in moderating it.
