While there are undoubtedly some positives about Northwestern Medicine Field (we gotta start calling it “the Lakepill”!), the BTN crew would never provide objective commentary on such a topic. They are a B1G mouthpiece and one can only recall Revsine’s soft-glove interview with Gragg which was the former AD’s first such appearance post-crisis for confirmation of this.

True, grain of salt. However the logistical advantages for team and students are objective.

The BTN crew (Revsine, Dinardo, Griffith) raved about how the stadium turned out and feel it will be a great home field for the team. I agree, the players are very familiar with the field, as it’s their practice field. They will be better rested for these games as opposed to driving to SeatGeek or staying at some hotel down there. And for students the gameday experience will be on main campus.

All I know is my course books at NU didn't have any pictures in them.

1. Sullivan got his degree.
2. Iowa is an excellent school.
3. All a Northwestern degree means as compared to an Iowa degree is that you were probably a better high school student.
4. Also, that your parents were rich.

So the academic rigor of obtaining a degree from Iowa is the same as NU?

You implied he didn’t get his NU degree. Apparently, he did.

Yeah it's funny how people act like September weather on the Lakeville is like the Aleutian Islands. The latest game we play there will be Oct 19. Next year probably the same

Speaking of Aleutian Islands, I just learned this past week on a visit to our local Veterans' Museum that our school's namesake ship, the SS Northwestern went down there during World War II.

(FWIW, notable Northwestern Alum Charlton Heston helped to avenge the loss by serving as a radio gunner aboard a B-25 that was based out of the Aleutians. While in the Aleutian Islands he was injured while trying to help a pilot out of a plane that had crashed when he slipped on the ice and ended up getting run over by an ambulance.

That sent him to my town here in Anchorage where he was assigned to the control tower at Elmendorf Air Force Base, where today I overlook the military planes still landing there as viewed from my office. Here in Anchorage he was preparing to be part of the invasion of Japan when the bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leading to his discharge and return to Evanston where his Lydia was waiting for the 23-year-old at the Evanston train station. He credited the atomic bombings with his surviving the war as he was not expecting to survive the planned invasion.)
