GUESS I BETTER START SAVING UP FOR: GSG5545 AND FAMILY HEAD COACH MIKE RILEY!!

I still don't get how Pat Fitzgerald gets so much love at Northwestern. Yes, he has had good seasons on occasion there, but he hasn't had back-to-back winning seasons since 2010.

 

It could be because he's only the second coach in Northwestern history to have at least two 9 win seasons. It could be because before Fitzgerald the school only made six bowl appearances, and he has taken Northwestern to six bowls. He's a solid coach.

Why is anyone debating the whole UNL/NW/NU thing?

 

They won last year, so they are NU until we beat them Saturday.

They won last year, so they are NU until we beat them Saturday.

 

Because we aren't known as "Nebraska University"?

Dear Old Nebraska U (There Is No Place Like Nebraska)

Words and Music by Harry Pecha, class of 1924

There is no place like Nebraska,

Dear old Nebraska U.

Where the girls are the fairest,

The boys are the squarest,

Of any old school that I knew.

There is no place like Nebraska,

Where they're all true blue.

We'll all stick together,

In all kinds of weather,

For dear old Nebraska U.

This is not good for Northwestern with our WRs.

 

Lucky for you Matt Harris is out.

Ha ha! Yeah, you guys could've used him a couple years ago when time expired. LINK

I watched them play Duke and was not impressed with NW. They seemed slow at the skill positions. Of course, I just watched the speed of Oregon so that contributed to it I'm sure. They like to run the crossing routes and Wr sweeps. End contain will be important for the running game and keeping their QB from leaking out. He did that against Duke. It seemed they only got decent runs when they actually got to the perimeter. They seemed rather small too. I was thinking NU should just lean on them for 4 quarters and they will tire out. I'm pretty confident that NU blows them out. Haven't felt that way in a while.

Anyone notice what's going on between Duke and Notre Dame? Western Michigan is obviously pretty decent.... I suspect Northwestern is better their record suggests.
