Our schedule is brutal

Hungry Jack
No.

Yes, Michigan and OSU are tough draws, but this schedule is not nearly as bad as some have argued.

Washington lost a lot talent this season, including a first round QB. They also lost their head coach. They should be tough, but it's not a guaranteed loss.

Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, Indiana, Purdue all have significant warts (listen to the WLP podcast if you havent). Illinois lost quite a bit of talent, but I think they will be tough against us.

Duke lost a lot of talent to the draft. They have had our number, but I think this year can be different.

Shelton: More than a year later, 'shirtgate' won't go away

Schill publicly made the whole team out to be dirtbags, which to me is unforgivable, especially given the overall quality of the young men who Fitzgerald recruited to NU.

The t-shirts were justified.

"Fu@k Schill" t-shirts were also justified, but the players were too classy to do that.

IIRC, it was more Ggarg than Schill who threw the team under the bus (I could easily be mistaken about Schill's public comments at the time). The Zoom call done by GGarg where he reportedly read a canned statement and then cut off the team without taking a single question (from his hotel in Italy) was the moment that I realized Ggarg was going to be terrible.

So there was “serious sexual hazing” and the only one who was held to account was Fitz? No one seems to care that some of the “perpetrators ”might still be on the team. Just unreal.

If you feel “serious sexual hazing” did in fact happen and “perpetrators” are still associated with the team, how can you cheer the young men on?

That's right, CD - every investigation seems aimed only at oversight of an apparent crime. All this time has passed and there still seems to be no interest in determining exactly who did what to whom. We don't got to show you no stinking justice.

In the meantime, the shirt looks like free speech.

Wearing a shirt supporting Pat Fitzgerald immediately after he had been fired by the university for cause for something as serious a sexualized hazing was tone deaf, especially by a member of the coaching staff.

The difference now is a combination of who is wearing the shirt and the timing. For a student to support his family is very different, as is the timing. I still think it’s tone deaf, but I also support his right to express himself.

Ten Questions: 8. Can Northwestern have a 1,000-yard receiver?

Coral, as much as I would like to, my spouse has been dealing with a long term health debilitation the last few years. As pensioners, we needed to cut a number of items from our budget, including almost all our publication sbscriptions, including this one, in order to allocate some funds for home support.

I certainly would encourage those who have the flexibility to subscribe to do so. Matt and Lou do a great job and deserve the support. In the meantime, I will try to respectfully contribute to the community from the cheap seats. ( Go Cats).

Been thinking about your post. Very sorry to hear about your current situation. Lou/Matt, what’s the monthly cost of subscription during the current special/sale?
