Doesn't UCLA have to split the LA SMSA with the school from Exposition Park?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.
Bring back the rant board.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.
Wow the Duke homer picks NU to win. What am I missing? They dominated Elon. Yeah it was Elon but I don’t get the pessimism. I’m worried about this game.Behind Enemy Lines: Duke
We talked to Conor O'Neill of DevilsIllustrated to get the scoop on the new-look Blue Devils under coach Manny Diaz.northwestern.rivals.com
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.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)

Bob hasn't been suspended since January 2023.I can’t tell when he is on vacation or on his monthly suspension from the free board!
I really wish Turk would reappear. I am not sure he was an NU grad but supported the Cats financially and in spirit.
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.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.
