I am so sick of the media coverage of this team. Every talking head dope on TV starts their piece with “for the first time ever” or “the last time NU did this or that” or “ its been X years since” or the new, diss du jour: “despite 3 out of conference losses...”.
Every win is “miraculous”. And the result of a “team whose sum is better than the whole of its parts” that just “pulls games out somehow”.
Every win is “surprising” and an “upset” by “overachievers” that “punch above their weight” despite “having no P5 offers out of high school”.
This whole narrative is an insulting load of crap.
The team has won 13 of its last 14 Big Ten games. Only one team in the Big Ten has done that. It’s not Ohio State. It’s not Michigan. Or MSU or PSU or Wisconsin or Iowa. It’s Northwestern.
I know the media is lazy. And many are not particularly bright. But how dim can they get?
Why should we trust any analysis these clowns do when they can’t (or won’t) do the simple analysis of figuring out who wins games and who doesn’t? When are they going to figure out that the surprise is not a Northwestern win. It’s when Northwestern doesn’t win!
Get your collective heads out of your collective ass.
