**** Northwestern Game Day Thread****

We really need this win if we want to have a chance for a bowl. Iowa, Wisconsin and Rutgers are not going to be easy to win. 

 
Northwestern University was founded in 1851. 

At that time, after the Compromise of 1850 the US looked like this. They weren't even in the United States northwest which would have been like Wisconsin and Iowa. So I don't know what they were doing hahah. 

What the heck Northwestern? Maybe more like Northeastern Illinois University??? And they say our N stands for knowledge! 



I think Northwestern as in the Old Northwest as the US NW was what's now Illinois and Ohio after the Treaty of Paris was adopted in 1783 and the Northwest Ordinance was ratified soon after.
