Our new home is taking shape. We will display a Rose Bowl trophy in there soon. Great things on the horizon for Wildcat fans.
Our future home on the lake is taking shape
- Thread starter CatsDad
- Start date
According to many that will be a worldwide problem
Did you see this photo? Hope this works

PS it did not work perfectly, but there is photo of construction site if you scroll down a little bit. I suspect this might be a fake, on the lake
I can't wait for the project to be complete!
By the way, how did Jango handle his first season? I figured it's a lot of weightlifting for most freshmen but I hope he enjoyed it
That is a lot more than I saw at Thanksgiving. I saw maybe 6 or 8 vertical posts Make me think they are moving right along.
He loved it. He really like his coaches and teammates. He has been working hard and is ready to play in 2017
I did a drive-by there last Saturday. The steel superstructure is in place adjacent to the existing aquatic center, on the east side now fronting the beach. The southern building cannot be far behind. These are huge steel I beams connected with welds and bolts.
It is not a fake. It is as real as the scars on my forehead from head butting my PC after reading Turk's posts.

Well, a lot of the campus is landfill already. Guess they'd just have to truck in a little more.
This is obviously fake. Also since the earth is flat, they got the curvature of the horizon all wrong.
Ah, you didn't go to NU, correct? Or ILL., Northern or Chicago State? Try Google... Temperature Change.
Since the it's about 570 feet above the mean tide level in New York, the beach should be safe. Plus, I think the effect of glacial and polar ice melt into the Great Lakes basin is negligible.

My comment was in regards to the encroaching construction (both current and likely future) as opposed to any global warming commentary. How many universities have such a beautiful beach?
LOL. Melting glaciers are the reason we have a lake, which is why we have a beach. And given the way the currents flow counterclockwise around Lake Michigan, you can make more beach by building a jetty wall or some other type of obstruction.
The official term is "groin", something I learned from Professor John Hudson @ NU.
Let's think about that. Lake Michigan is 530 feet above sea level. There are no glaciers in Michigan or Wisconsin, and haven't been for about 11,000 years. So what "temperature change" is going to make any difference to the Lake Michigan shoreline, and how is it going to do it?
You probably don't want to delve into my academic credentials, BTW.
Now the construction could indeed wreck NU's beach, what little is left of it.
When the glaciers were here about 11,000 years ago.
Class of '72. Doobs were passed around during Rocky Miller's commencement address in McGaw Hall. We then had to pick up our diplomas at a concession stand under the West stands of Dyche. Ah, those were the days.
I was in Medill in '69-'70. One of the guys I had classes with was among the leaders of the big '70 demonstration when they blocked Sheridan Road.
They have dug down about 30 feet under what will be the field and there is a lot of cement work that has been done. I took pics in December but could not figure out how to post them. In the last week, they started to wrap up the work on the new Kellogg.
You, me and Jerry Brown were all there in McGaw Hall for that commencement address.
Look familiar? Although I was in Japan during the big '70 demonstration (returning to campus that Fall) I was surprised to open a magazine there in Japan with photos of the demonstration which included NU students in it that I recognized:
Upon my return to campus there were multiple student designed pass-fail courses added to the curriculum as a consequence of the new "student power" that had been infused into the University. I ended up joining one on the subject of Hawaiian history and culture which was mostly made up of students from the Islands, but being from the northern Hawaiian "Island" of Alaska, I somehow met the criteria.
