Here we go….

Out with the old...

Still recovering from the adrenaline rush! Captured on film just moments ago:

The backstory regarding the above linked YouTube Video as just posted:
I was in my driveway loading winter tires into my vehicles when I heard a loud crashing sound and glanced up to see two huge Bull Moose charging up the driveway toward me.
I turned and ran for my life dropping the house key I was holding in the process. Fortunately the door remained unlocked. (I wasn’t so lucky earlier in the year when I had confronted a bear while I was watering the lawn.)

Above is the link to my video of their continued battle as I captured it from the safety of my deck. After retreating from my driveway, the two have become locked together with their horns.
Finally one spins the other to the ground where he pins him and holds his opponent in place to establish who is the victor. No effort is made to inflict injury. Both huge Bull Moose then amble away peacefully.
Horns Locked:

The Victor as he ambles away:

The key that I dropped as I raced to escape the charging Bull Moose:

Aftermath of the Battle as evidenced by tufts of ripped Moose hair and Moose horn scratches on my driveway along with some of the torn up grass:

STH email just came. Looks like no day of game sales in west lot, season passes only. That said you wonder if they'll really stick to that for some of the clunker non-con games that draw 3K.

They're going to run shuttles from "Central St Garage" which I assume is hospital.

@lou v and I log our predictions for Northwestern's first game against a ranked opponent this season.

Stepping away from the team indefinitely. Citing injuries. This kid was a stud. Wisconsin looking more and more like a winnable game.

Tyler Kropp just posted commitment on insta to NU

Northwestern head coach Chris Collins sat down alongside Iowa’s Fran McCaffrey and Ohio State’s Jake Diebler to field questions about their 2024-25 seasons.

[Link seems spotty, but it’s an InsideNU reporter confronting that Knox is no longer enrolled at NU and transferring.]

If you are a Northwestern fan and watching the game on TV (or streaming it), you are welcome to join us for a live Zoom discussion during the game. It's a great way to share the experience with others as you watch.

One thing you should be aware of is that TV and streaming are not always in sync with real time. It is not unusual for some viewers to be 30 seconds ahead of others, which leads to an interesting dynamic during the game watch. You can often tell by the reactions of others if something good or bad is about to happen. To me, it just makes it more interesting.

I hope that you can join the fun via Zoom on Saturday @ 2:30 PM CT.

@lou v files his story from Big Ten Media Days about Boo Buie’s absence, media doubters, projected roles, and more.

1.I think Lausch rebounds..He has always struck me as a winner.. Got my fingers crossed.
2. The running back situation really concerns me. I am thinking even if Cam is back he may be limited. Neither back replacing Cam seems to have between the tackle or power running ability. Himmon needs space...and Komolafe even though listed at 210 just seems tentative. So what do we know about the other guys in that room? Grissom Anderson is listed as a senior at 230. Jake Arthurs has some experience. Sophomore Albert Kunickis is listed at 223 and how about our freshman Dashan Reeder??? is there any help in this group....or do we go to an empty backfield and throw it 60 times??? any thoughts on anything different if indeed Cam is still out.

@lou v talked to three-star PG Jake West about his upcoming visit to NU, his TikTok stardom and more.

Just bought 2 tickets for the triple header in Milwaukee on Sunday December 15. Cats have the middle game at 2:30 pm vs Georgia Tech. $70 each including fees for lower level, center court during presale. I assume the same prices will be available to the general public tomorrow.
