Our fall is complete
Bottom 10: The Sooner this season is over, the better
Well, Colorado didn't lose this week, but even that can't keep the Buffs from the top of the Bottom 10. But Oklahoma's performance against Texas was impossible to ignore.www.espn.com
Possibly in 2019. I can't look it up at the moment, but it wouldn't surprise me.
As I said earlier this week, I hoped we would make the Bottom 10, and I'm glad we did. Not because I'm happy to be in the Bottom 10, mind you, but because I think we are in the Bottom 10 and we should have to reckon with that publicity and reality.Our fall is complete

I promise you that Fitz doesn’t give two shits about the bottom 10.
I'll bet Fitz will be annoyed when he's asked about it every week, especially if NU continues to climb the rankings. All the little annoyances will add up.
Channeling IGNORE here, but who is going to ask him? The 20 year old Daily Northwestern writers?
If a press conference falls in the forest and nobody attends, did it really occur?
I know I'm talking to die-hard fans here, but do we really need a good football team and all the nonsense spending that goes with it? U Chicago seems to be doing just fine. And when people learn I'm an NU grad and my son is a U of C grad, guess what impresses them?Old Fitz made worst 5, just behind Franklin and Shaw:
Pat Fitzgerald | Northwestern
Total compensation: $5,372,318
Fitzgerald has worked absolute miracles at the school, winning 10 games three times in his 17 seasons. If that buys him more time to produce more subpar seasons, so be it. But for Fitzgerald, who is the second-longest tenured coach in the conference, if making nearly $6 million and winning the Big Ten West every couple of years is the ceiling, he and the powers that be need to say it. Because at that salary, there is no reason why the Wildcats can’t dominate the division. But the question remains, is anyone else better equipped to coach this team? Not likely. It's important to remember that because Northwestern is a private school, Fitzgerald's most recently available compensation information is from federal tax records covering pay for the 2020 calendar year, including bonuses paid and value of benefits and perquisites.
The most overpaid coaches in college football? The list starts with Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher
The Aggies' coach, who is in his fifth season in College Station, is making $9 million with no SEC titles or playoff appearances to show for it.sports.yahoo.com
With Colorado’s victory, they escaped the bottom 10 and we dropped. We’re now #3.
Speaking of off weeks, the Mildcats spent theirs licking their post-Wisconsin wounds while Wisconsin spent its weekend making Northwestern's 42-7 loss to the coachless Badgers even Northworstern as they lost to then-2-4 Bottom 10 Wait Listers Michigan State in double overtime. Now NU travels east for the kind of classic regional rivalry that is quickly becoming the trademark of the Big Ten, a visit to Maryland.
Bottom 10: Where everybody is a winner, at least once
Thanks to Colorado, we all have something to celebrate: There will be no winless teams this season -- and the Bottom 10 has a new No. 1.

The team should be quite motivated to win now. If they lose out in the same fashion that they have been, then it will merit a #1 ranking on the list.
Will they be motivated to win, or are they beaten down and ready for the season to end? (I know how the fans are...)
If they're going to botch our name, I think I'd rather be called "Nerdwestern"
Yeah I don't see any reason to expect victory. Sullivan might provide a spark, which will be interesting but he can't play two ways and make tackles.
Expect victory! Demand change. This program is an embarrassment right now.
