Terrific write-up Matt. We are so fortunate to have you on the Wildcat Report beat. The freeloaders don’t know what they’re missing. I wish more would support the efforts you and Lou put forth to make this site such a great place for Northwestern fans.

W/r/ f t Lou and Matt's work I'm very cognizant of what I'm missing and agree with your assessment of the quality of their work.

If they ran this page to drive revenue, absolutely. But run it tone deaf to the clicks, traffic, audience … Lou should be happy he didn’t have to go.

This place could make money - now they have to fend off yahoo cutting the budget.
