Home Game- "wear black" - vs Purdue (title edit)

Brilliant. You can’t make up this shit
I don’t actually think it’s a bad idea. It’s not like there will be an enormous amount of Purdue fans there, and all the NU fans wearing black will neutralize the visual impact of any that they bring. So it will end up looking like a uniformly black shirted crowd that is largely supporting NU. And presumably we will have the team wear the gothic or some type of black unis (which I believe the players usually like), then Purdue is forced to wear white or gold. I think it could be cool.

I have plenty of criticisms of NU Athletic Dept and marketing schemes, but I don’t think this is a bad idea.

HS Recruiting is Close to Flopping

Agree that people are overly negative. Most of our commits do have other P4 offers (O’Brien committed so early that he would have had offers).

I agree too that you have to give someone 2-3 years. Braun had to deal with fallout from scandal, mass defections of recruiting class and not permanent head coach until end of first season. And Gragg.

Let’s see how it goes this year on the field and recruiting. We tend to be around 60 in ratings of commitments for past 20 years, even during good years. Yes, things are different now and will be again probably after July 1 rulings.

FWIW, Brsun’s record after two seasons is better than Fitz. I’m cautiously optimistic.
I think we will end up just fine. Achieving bowl status should be our focus. Everything really depends upon QB play. We have struggled with that position lately but we have reason to be hopeful with two QBs that have experience.
