This ain't no Johnny off the pickle boat...

Today is the five year anniversary of Randy Walker’s tragic death.  I still remember where I was when I heard. I was staying over at a friend’s apartment in Evanston because I had to go with him to shoot a golf tournament in Hammond the next day. I was having trouble sleeping the entire night... Read more »

Dallas it is.

The Northwestern Wildcats are heading to Dallas for the TicketCity Bowl, according to Teddy G at the Tribune.  This is the game’s first year, so no one really knows exactly what kind of atmosphere there will be.  NU will be playing Texas Tech, whose pathetic secondary may be the perfect defense for Evan Watkins to...

So yeah, about that...

Hey folks.  Sorry about being AWOL this past week.  Got caught up in the Thanksgiving rush, ate 4,000 pounds of food on Thursday, dozed off, and apparently did my best Rip Van Winkle impersonation by sleeping until this morning. I feel like there was a game of some sort that I missed… Right.  Northwestern played... Read more »

The Mom Test

Not actually my mom After the jump is an email my mom sent to me following the Penn State loss. (I added emphasis to a few key sentences.) The NU-Penn State game sure was unbelievable.  I missed most of the first half because I was out doing errands.  Came into the house, switched on the... Read more »

Why I hate the Michigan State Spartans

Michael Moore is just one reason to hate MSU Four years under Fitz, three losses to the Michigan State Spartans. I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore! The only NU victory in the Fitz era came in 2007 when CJ Bacher turned in the greatest performance I’ve ever seen from a... Read more »

Guest Column: How to solve NU's rushing woes

The running game has caused Fitz fits. We here at Spread Far the Fame like to give everyone a chance to share their point of view about Northwestern athletics. This week, a member of the news media we will call “High Hopes” weighs in on what NU should do after the jump. Remember when you... Read more »

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...

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 »
