Another Big Ten Team Doesn’t Make Sense
Published on: 15th December, 2009
The Big Ten Conference is greedy. Nothing new or ground breaking about that. That's why it's no surprise the 11 university presidents and chancellors issued a statement Tuesday about how they will evaluate adding another team to the conference. Let's not sugarcoat it, gentlemen. This is about money. They will look at ...Northwestern and Iowa Should Be an Instant Classic
Published on: 5th November, 2009
This week's must see TV is not an episode of "Glee" or "Community" If you're looking for drama, you should tune into Northwestern against Iowa because you will likely see an upset for the ages.

Published on: 4th November, 2009
Never in my years of being a Northwestern fan did I think I'd be begging and praying for quarterback Mike Kafka to be under center Saturday against Iowa. Dare I say he is the best quarterback in the Big Ten? Pat Fitzgerald once proclaimed him "South Side tough," and the fifth-year senior ...Northwestern Wildcats Struggling To Create Big Plays
Published on: 22nd October, 2009
The common complaint about the Northwestern offense these days is, "Where are all the big plays?" Most people believe those big plays have to be 70-yard runs or passes; punt and kick returns for touchdowns; or other long plays that look good on SportsCenter and on highlight reels.

If you look at Northwestern's opponents through six games and their records, you get the sense that the Wildcats have gotten away with scheduling murder.

Published on: 4th October, 2009
Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald is one that typically plays it close to the vest, rarely giving away what he plans to do on Saturdays, and never tips his hand to the media. He is known for saying that the Wildcats are a running team and that they use the ground ...Purdue-Northwestern: It Was Time for the Boilermakers To Fumble the Game Away
Published on: 3rd October, 2009
It was about as far from a pretty game as can be. It was nowhere near the Brooklyn Decker of games. It seems as though Northwestern beat Purdue, 27-21, because it made fewer mistakes on Saturday. After Arby Fields fumbled on the first play from scrimmage and Purdue subsequently rolled off to ...Northwestern: Winning Will Not Fill Ryan Field
Published on: 28th September, 2009
