Northwestern starting to show up in bowl projections thread

Me too! Plus chance to show wife Henry Ford village just off telegraph road in Dearborn where I grew up! Sad that Dearborn inn is closed for year of renovations though. Hotels run about one third of what it cost to stay in Sacramento for bb March madness!
Ah, memories of the 2003 Motor City Bowl Purple Party. I helped FloridAlum pick the venue, the since-closed Carl's Chop House. Many more options in Midtown and near Ford Field now.
Schade. Ich bin diese Woche in Bremen.
If you go to Dearborn, get Middle Eastern food. I was there one time, the food was so good I wanted to convert to Islam.
I go there a lot for work. Downtown Detroit is a blast.

I think a lot may depend on Sullivan's stats going forward or if Bryant can go. Realistically the only game we might come into favored is Purdue at home...we're not getting the nod at Camp Randall and the Illinois spread will be close enough even under the best circumstances where the -3 home advantage puts us as dogs.
Oddsmakers be damned, NU has a decent chance of winning every remaining game on its schedule, unlike the past two seasons.

From my chair the final 4 games will be decided by our run defense. Maryland played a totally stupid game. If you throw out QB runs and sacks they averaged 7.7 yds a rush. I know Iowa , Wisconsin, and Illinois will run first and if they do well at that it will continue for the entire game. Have not seen Purdue play but I think they would like to run against us as well. QB play has not really been the main issue on offense...more like no protection and inability to run the ball. On the positive side effort and attitude has been surprisingly good considering everything.
And yet, when they got down to the goal line, their run game was stuffed. You think their success running the ball might have had something to do with the threat of the big play in the passing game that they have or the threat of the QB run with Taulia? Not sure the rest of our opponents have that. We will see.
I worked in the office building attached to Ford Field for a couple of years and loved it. The immediate area isn't the best for food options, except for Jose's Tacos, but good restaurants are a short walk/car ride.
I had the best lamb I've ever eaten at Detroit's Greektown for the 2003 Motor City Bowl. I remember it being not far at all from Ford Field.
My office is in ADC and I stay in the Courtyard across from the Ren Cen. If it's just me I'll usually do Sweetwater, Checker Bar, Grand Trunk for eating/drinking. For group outings Eastern Market and stadium areas are usually the destination (both great options).
We can win any of the remaining three. We shouldn't be scared of any of them.
The MAC team we play in the Motor City Bowl.So with four games remaining, which team should we be scared of?
We played in a bowl game every Monday my freshman year. That's the bowl their headed for.
Try the Old Shaleighly bar down from Greektown, or just set something up with the casino next to Ford Field.
Yes...I'm aware. The joke doesn't work if he wasn't on the sidelines, but I guess that's just me being pedantic.
Please Lord, not the Voles again. Can we play Auburn or aTm instead??
Tenn, please not. When we played them before, those inbreds actually took over the free Board. Comments were so outlandish that 10 days before the game I quit reading the board.
