Demolition starts next week, January 22, according to a local paper covering an Evanston city hearing last night. It will take about 4 months to tear it down. It’s happening!

Pretty sure this is counting players only on the active rosters. Just incredible to see Harvard listed along with those other Blue Bloods.

Neb was red hot in the first half, we weren’t. Got it very close toward the end then went ice cold down the stretch (like at Wis). Boo’s worst game in a long time. If he has a slightly below average game (vs 2-15 shooting), we win. So hard to win on the road.

All times CENTRAL. All games available nationally unless otherwise indicated. I will add announcers as they are assigned.

Northwestern offered four-star OL Andrew Babalola last weekend. @lou v interviewed the Rivals100 tackle to see where the Wildcats stack up.

Flurry of offers today and Northwestern is going after some big time guys early and often. Alexander has 25 other offers.

Did we add them to the schedule for the last open slot?

Carroll has also been offered by Texas Tech, North Texas, Utah State and Houston.

Enough of this chain gang stuff.

was watching the re-run of the Loyola-UMASS game on CBS sports and doing the color was Tre Demps...and I thought he did a really nice job. I am guessing he will be doing some of the Tournament games. I do not know how long or how often he has been on.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a webcam for construction of the new stadium. NU had a webcam for the construction of the new music building.

Andrew Babalola out Blue Springs, KS picks up an NU offer. Has multiple P4 offers (Oregon, USC, Stanford, Penn State, Oklahoma, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin to name a few). Nice to see him mention Lujan. I have a good feeling about him in the recruiting trail. Young guy who will hopefully be able to relate well with high school athletes.

I talked to Justin Kaye, the NJ offensive lineman in the Class of 2024 that got a PWO offer from Northwestern yesterday, about Northwestern and his recruitment.

"We are aware that legal counsel for Terrence Shannon Jr. has filed for injunctive relief from his suspension from the men's basketball program," Robin Kaler, associate chancellor at Illinois, said in a statement. "We will review the filing and defend our student-athlete misconduct procedures, which allow us to respond swiftly to allegations of misconduct and serious crimes while affording our student-athletes a fair process and waiting for the legal system and university discipline processes to proceed."

I'm curious how this will play out.

Now we have the maturity to win those down to the wire games

Looks like Mike is on his way out.....

“Mike Kafka, the more I hear, the less likely it is — and I know he’s still there now — even if he doesn’t get a head coaching job, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants let him out and he ends up somewhere else anyway,” Raanan said. “He’s unhappy.” [Raanan is ESPN reporter]

Gerritt Kemp out of Hebron Christian Academy in Dacula. Assuming being recruited as a WR.

Another OL PWO offer, NU looking to bulk up their numbers as O'Boyle comes in.

Here’s a list of current Wildcats on NFL rosters. We can track here. Justin Jackson retired.

Here are our takeaways from Northwestern's 75-69 loss at Nebraska.

Asking for a friend, as I hope there is no "renewal".

Northwestern (13-4, 4-2 Big Ten) hits the road for a Saturday matinee against Nebraska (13-5, 3-4 Big Ten).

The game is scheduled to tip off at 1:15 pm CT and will air on BTN. The Huskers are 11-1 at home, with a win over Purdue in their own right, and will head into the game as three-point favorites.

Here are our takeaways from Northwestern's 75-69 loss at Nebraska.

We will beat Nebraska on Saturday. And it won't even be that close.

NU is upper left, which is not where you want to be. It means NU has very few big offensive runs, and allows many.

Maybe a negative indicator. Who knows? The lower right teams are objectively good ones.
