Northwestern Wildcats (Official Thread)

Another miss for Harbaugh imo.
For all the talk about Shea Patterson... this dude is the steal.
The West could get interesting in the coming years with Nebraska and Northwestern.

This guy could get into Northwestern

Shea went to tsun

just sayin

Yea but I'm just talking about the West. There isn't much talent in general. Wisconsin has a system of getting the most out of 3* and occasional 4* guys. I'm curious if Scott realizes that's become their de facto rivalry game - Wisconsin has Corn's number and takes it to them every year.
Fitzgerald has demonstrated he puts together some decent teams once in awhile.

Yeah, if you look at a few seasons, he’s actually had some really good starts. At some point, the wheels have fallen off — pretty hard after said really good starts and they can’t seem to string together a good season.

I don’t see how Fitz has yet to at least receive an inquiry from a middle-echelon program but I probably just answered my own question.

I'd hazard 2 reasons:
1. Not terribly consistent
2. Alma mater and cult hero status. He's cemented in NW's limited glory since playing days as an all-american winning big10 twice. expectations arent high and i think everyone knows somebody else would make them a perennial bottom feeder.

Sad news for the kid. I loved watching him while he was here in Cincy playing for LaSalle. Get that degree and enjoy having your health

I didn’t even know a man could get stenosis of the cervix.

One’s risk factor increases tenfold when they have a history of Michigan graduates in their family.

If Northwestern didn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck at all. 1995, Pat Fitzgerald breaks leg before final game and bowl game, Rashid Wheelr dies during practice in 2001, Randy Walker dies in 2005, and now this.

Kerry Coombs laughs at his torpor.

6-4, and they've wrapped up the B1G West.

 

[Zurp]

They've scored 6 more points than they've given up. They could, theoretically, lose to Illinois and Minnesota (not likely), end up 6-6, give up 30 more points than they've scored, and become Big Ten champions. Ha!
Not to start an argument about playoffs and auto-bids, but this is why I hate the idea of auto-bids.

Would hate to see TTUN get such an easy match in the championship game

Michigan won't need to concern themselves with that, as they will not be playing in that game.
