Purple 201: Intro to the Greatest Color in the World

Northwestern students know that every quarter you will take at least one class that at some point busts out a video, slideshow, or multi-media presentation during one of the lectures.  (Note to instructors of early morning classes: Do not turn off the lights when you do this because I will inevitably fall asleep, even if...

No Room for Error: Your NU Basketball Schedule

No Room for Error: Your NU Basketball Schedule
Extra! Extra! The 2010-2011 men’s basketball schedule is hot off the presses. Let’s just say the ‘Cats won’t have much wiggle room this year if they want to book their ticket to the Big Dance for the first time in history.  First, the ‘Cats play just 29 games, two fewer than they did last season...

Great Big Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts

Great Big Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts
Fitz channels his inner Carl Spackler as he prepares to rid the world of Gohpers. It’s Big Ten time, my friends.  Gone are the days of playing teams that we dislike a little (Central Michigan, Rice) or are, quite frankly, ambivalent about (Illinois State).  Really the only team I disliked with a passion so far...

Pat Fitzgerald Badass of the Week: Sept. 28, 2010
Whether playing in the 1990s or coaching in the 2000s (and beyond), there is no person in the world more badass than Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald.  From time to time, we try to find someone who, at least temporarily, has come as close as mere mortals can to matching Fitz’s badassery.  This week’s tip of the...

Northwestern's trump card

Today’s depth chart listed Jacob Schmidt and Mike Trumpy as the co-starters at running back. Both performed admirably against Central Michigan and they must be licking their lips at the chance to run against Minnesota’s porous “D.” The Gophers are giving up 6.4 yards per carry. In case you were wondering, that’s not good. I... Read more »

Monday Toilet: Post-Central Meatchicken

Well, we are now 4-0.  More importantly, we are two 1-0 weeks away from a trip to Detroit.  It was neither easy nor pretty, but does anyone remember this?  Or this?  Both of those, and this game too, were a hell of a lot more preferable to this. Nevertheless, we are very eager to flush... Read more »

Mike Kafka's Biggest Fan

The Morning After: Central Michigan

We’ve all been there.  Waking up in the morning after a nighttime rendezvous, in a bed that’s not ours, trying to figure out what our next move should be. We find ourselves in a similar quandary the morning after a Northwestern football game.  That night of sleep between then and now should help illuminate things... Read more »
