    EXCLUSIVE: NU exploring all options for 2024 home football schedule

    While it sure seems like the athletic department screwed the pooch on this one, how much are they hamstrung by the manner and timing of the schedules being released? I think we know our opponents for next year, but not the dates yet. I can imagine it would be difficult for both the team and...

    I don't know the answer to the second question, but the resource I found only lists one outgoing transfer: Ellie Stinson.

    Coach Prime says NCAA should ensure that a kid who commits to a school can't go elsewhere

    Actually, the advanced metrics totally agree with this take. Deion only had one year in MLB with a WAR above 1.5, and that was a WAR of 3.2. That tied him for 66th among hitters with Chris Hoiles, Reuben Sierra, Manuel Lee, and Delino DeShields, which is nowhere near superstar company. That...

    Tosan Evbuomwon (Princeton)

    While Cornell might not have the endowment of HYP (really, who does?), they are still quite affordable for middle class families. My daughter went there, and her four years, which included a study abroad semester in Australia, cost us less than four years at the University of Pittsburgh would...

    Skoronski declares for NFL

    Does this mean he is going to skip our bowl game?

    Pat Fitzgerald’s all time ranking as a LB

    If they are counting pro performance at all, Bosworth sure as heck isn't #2.

    MA Prep School Recruits?

    I think the tuition burden on the middle class is somewhat overstated. Both my wife and I are teachers (I'm at a public school, and she is at an independent private school). According to the charts I have looked at, we are pretty much the definition of middle class. My daughter went to...

    Luke Hunger commits to Northwestern

    Cue the "Hunger Games" references in 3..2..1.. Oh, wait, I just made one.

    My story: Slater is not an underdog anymore

    Great story Lou. Rashawn was always an easy kid to root for, and now it is even easier to root for him. Geez, I hope he doesn't get drafted by the Cowboys.

    As a new BIG10 fan can you help me understand the conference rivalries?

    Since non conference trophies were brought up, I thought I would include the worst trophy ever. When Iowa and Iowa State decided to replace to original Cy-Hawk trophy, the Iowa Corn Growers Association offered this monstrosity: Both teams rejected it

    Way OT

    There is a line really close to that (I don't think it is exact) in "Harold and Maude."

    Favorite non-NU college football player of all time

    Curtis Martin of the Pitt Panthers. After Martin got drafted by the Patriots in 1995, a kid who lived down the street from my parents and was a big Pitt fan, was having a birthday party. He wanted to invite Martin, who had been their star back. His mother did the leg work and got the address...

    Not a fan of the Holiday Bowl

    My wife, a Wisconsin alum and avid Badgers fan, went to a bar with me during our honeymoon so I could watch the Cats in the 96 Rose Bowl. Smart wives realize that being a Northwestern Fan is sort of a genetic defect, and they will indulge us accordingly.

    Northwestern Professors who authored their own textbooks

    I had Appel also. I remember that he joked that the picture of Nabokov on the back of the book was actually one of him (Appel) "when I was older than I am now."

    Northwestern Professors who authored their own textbooks

    I was lucky enough to have him as both a lecturer and a discussion group leader for both my quarters of the British History intro class. He was a terrific teacher and a genuinely nice guy.

    Cats land 2019 superback Thomas Gordon

    I really hope he doesn't remind anyone of Gronkowski for two reasons. 1. The general take on Gronk from those who had any contact with him as a player at North Allegheny was that he was a complete dick. 2. He's a walking advertisement for HGH. If the NFL were at all serious about getting...

    TJ Green?

    Figured I'd toss this out to remind Bears fans of something else they would like to forget. Flacco never got a serious shot at Pitt because he was there at the same time as a kid named Tyler Palko. Palko's father was the head coach at a strong local HS football program, and the Pitt head coach...

    Bowl theory in practice

    Just to muddy the waters a bit, CBS Sports has us going to the Citrus Bowl against Mississippi State. I don't know how likely that scenario is, but that could be a fun match up with a lot of upside.

    Bad news on Xavier Washington

    Seems that the effects of your college life include forgetting about rant#2. Now that I'm done being obnoxious, I agree with your points. We need to be much less punitive about drug use in general. It's worth pointing out that not all student athletes are equal either. When I fenced in the...
