Nicely surprised to land at O'Hare airport Monday morning and see both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Teams both had a photo feature recognizing Northwestern's hoops team for its win against Rutgers and capturing 2nd in the Big Ten.
Chicago Trib and Sun Times Feature Chicago's Big Ten Team
- Thread starter Alaskawildkat
- Start date
Actually also impressed with how fast the print paper made it to the airport. When I boarded my plane in Alaska the game was in its final minutes and by the time I reached Chicago (albeit with a brief change of planes in Seattle) the Sports Final Editions were already on the stands. As pictured the sun was just rising over Chicagoland:
At least the rather elongated route to Tokyo allowed for a taste of Chicago as one of the onboard meals offered a Chicago Hot Dog (sans the green relish.)

The Trib has a column today on the tournament actually written by one of their writers (Paul Sullivan). Don't recall seeing story about NU this year that wasn't from the wires.

Column: The only sure thing in this week’s Big Ten Tournament at the United Center is unpredictability
Who will win the Big Ten Tournament? It could be almost anyone after a wacky season like this one.
Sullivan has actually written two columns about the Cats recently including an upbeat one on Thursday after the close loss to Penn State.
Those sunrise photos are gorgeous!Actually also impressed with how fast the print paper made it to the airport.

Although not an article dedicated to the ‘Cats, Sullivan has a nice BTT writeup in today’s Trib, with some fun comments about the team.

especially if you're flying from Alaska to Seattle then Chicago and then east.
"You're going the wrong way!"
Yeah, I lament the days when we still had direct flights from Anchorage to Tokyo for seven hours or less.
Yesterday I flew over my hometown and saw Denali from the air.They used to fly closer to the North Pole from Chicago to Tokyo but that required going over Russian airspace so now the route takes longer by going over South Central Alaska.
