It's Official. We're Back.

Assuming we have an eight week season, if we go 4-4, then maybe we can get into a bowl somewhere this season.

 

That would be neat.

I have never really gave Northwestern a thought, I just knew it was an excellent educational institution with a football coach I respect.  I am slowly starting to despise some of these pompous jackasses.    

 

I understand that NW is highly regarded as an institution of higher learning.

 

But journalism is mostly dead,  and the press in the US is a disgrace.

What a glorious day!!! I have a good feeling that you’ll see a quality Nebraska team out on the field this fall. There may be other teams more talented but I think this team as a whole is very committed to one another and driven to having the best possible season. Not sure all other teams in our league feel the same.

And the hyperbole of "this is the Big Ten's darkest day" is just asinine when you consider the scandals that have plagued this conference in the past 15 years. 

 

Ha, great point. The Sandusky thing...

It's terribly pompous. And what, exactly, is "The Nebraska-ization of the Big Ten?" That's just some dig she threw in there with no explanation. The whole opinion piece is just her venting her spleen. She decided a while ago she wasn't even going to watch college football this year on moral grounds because of Covid. 

 

OK, whatever, but in that intervening time we've had some scientific discoveries that have helped make it safer to play. And she completely ignores that.

It's safe to say I'm not a fan of her take on all of this.

 

Well stated!   

 

I cant wait to start talking about football again.

How do you spell 'A-hole"  I think this writer's name will do just fine  - a  Snooty,   NW U grad/instructor.   

 

Quoted in part below, she states this is the darkest day in the conferences history and blames it on the "Nebraska -ization" of the B1G which she then links to the Trump-ization of the B1G.  Basically wrapping us with the Trump flag.   She also blames some loud mouthed coaches - a not so veiled attack on Frost and Daley.

ALL Northwestern fans are upset.  This would have been the first undefeated season in the history of Wildcat football.

Last week, Michigan was the new Texas, today it's Nebraska.  I like this view better.

Given how some of you react, I expect there to be a large contingency of HB posters claiming to be related to Luke McCaffrey just to get tickets.

So...the guidelines that are in place.

 

There is no way this season is going to make it, is there?
