Column: Five straight wins over IU shows how far NU has come

Lou:

I figure every writer likes feedback, so I like to give mine, if I have anything to say.
You have to give Nicholson some love!
I realize the article is mainly about where NU stands versus what Indiana is doing, but Big Matt played a significant role in the win last night - and you mention how underrated Berry, Barnhizer, Leach and Berry were as recruits - but no love for the unwanted Nicholson.

Our rise from the ashes of disappointment has coincided with Nicholson and Barnhizer becoming starters, Lowery's hiring as an assistant and Collins shift in recruiting and playing style away from pretty 4 stars to team-oriented, committed, physical 3-stars.
 
As long as we’re giving feedback, I loved this line: “The Hoosiers may have the blue blood, but Northwestern has the blue collar.”

Def agree that Nicholson deserves his.

But also: can CC pls implement a rule that no passes can be directed to him that are lower than forehead-level?

Our blood is definitely red. We saw it on Brooks' face last night. Hope the kid is ok today.

Nicholson definitely drew blood last night too, and Fitzmorris appeared to have blood on his uniform, though I wouldn't put it past him that it was a hidden piece of chocolate.
