The Alaska Mojo Moose can just do so much, but they were no match for the Bad Omen of Air Willie's return. There at the entrance to the N-Zone Pregame Northwestern Alumni Tailgate stood an inflated Air Willie. Quick, someone kidnap him and make sure he is deflated before we play Indiana.

For those who were not here to share the angst of Air Willie in doomed days past, below is a link to the late FarEast Wildcat's archived piece on HailtoPurple.com.

FWIW, note in the photo of the scoreboard from the 4th Quarter with 11:52 left in the game we had fewer penalties (NU: 1 for 5 yards; UW: 6 for 32 yards) and we had the greater time of possession (NU: 24:15; UW: 23:46).

Is it possible that Mark Jackson the new AD is focused on revenue maximization and broadening acceptability of inflatable/air-blown mascots?

If Schill accepted that condition, he definitely needs to go.

Maybe he's discretely telling us that Schill is full of hot air?
