nice little jab at UNC and others:

"it’s not as if the school cherry-picks the best high school football players and then paves their academic path with puff courses, overzealous tutors and outright fraud."

Cool story about NW. But what's the catch? There's got to be a catch...

Quote :

"nice little jab at UNC and others:"

Looking at the glass half empty, UNC is not even getting a mention among schools with widespread academic fraud in their athletic program. Goddamit, FSU's academic fraud was just restricted to one online music course. One fucking course. While UNC has had hundreds of such courses. UNC ran the biggest academic cheating racket in NCAA history. Just can't understand why national media keeps ignoring this

/end rant

they pump all of their funds into football and have arguably a top-5 head coach. basketball is a complete afterthought, as evidenced by having never made the NCAA tournament in program history (although they did make a big splash this spring when they stole Chris Collins from Duke).

that article is a little outdated -- NU is up to #16 in this week's poll

9/9/2013 10:48:23 AM

I wonder if NU fans realize their team is #16 in the nation? Conservatively, there might be 25,000 in attendance

9/21/2013 4:09:47 PM

biggest regular season game in NU history next weekend?

#3 vs #15
ESPN College Gameday
primetime ABC game with Musberger and Herbstreit

9/29/2013 1:00:47 AM

I'm disappointed how little conversation there is about this game

9/30/2013 7:00:00 PM

I know ill be watching and cheering for NW

9/30/2013 10:12:40 PM

good to hear!

10/1/2013 9:50:44 AM

I think they got a good shot today...

10/5/2013 10:51:49 AM

thank you. I have the same feeling. Success depends on two things: NU's d-line and special teams. Weather could get nasty.

Getting Mark back tonight is a huge bonus

10/5/2013 10:53:32 AM

LET'S DO THIS

10/5/2013 9:56:53 PM

field goals aren't gonna cut it

10/5/2013 10:04:49 PM

Defense just needs to keep the pressure on. Braxton will fold under the pressure if they keep it up.

10/5/2013 10:06:56 PM

let's hope so

fuckfuckfuck

I'm on the edge of my seat

say something nice about Colter

10/5/2013 10:16:02 PM

this is a shit show all of a sudden

10/5/2013 10:18:25 PM

Always laugh when fans boo a correct call. He hit him before he had the ball not to mention the ball hit him not the Ohio state guy so not a fumble either way.

10/5/2013 10:19:25 PM

that was a hell of a deke by the returner

10/5/2013 10:20:56 PM

10/5/2013 10:52:49 PM

Bad decision may cost them the game

10/5/2013 10:53:11 PM

Can't kick another FG

10/5/2013 11:05:06 PM

hold

10/5/2013 11:05:23 PM

Buckeye pass rush is like

10/5/2013 11:06:44 PM

Whew nice!

10/5/2013 11:07:17 PM

dammit I love Fitz so much.

10/5/2013 11:08:57 PM

need something huge here. big return, big run, something

10/5/2013 11:18:15 PM

Welp the refs continue to butt fuck any of ohio states competition

10/5/2013 11:28:26 PM

I think he got the required 1.5 feet

10/5/2013 11:28:58 PM

These fucks better not sniff the title game with this soft schedule and how they have won games

10/5/2013 11:30:04 PM

Yep, the QB picked up his fumble. But the Big10 needs Ohio St to win

10/5/2013 11:30:06 PM

Bullshit on the booth not reviewing it

10/5/2013 11:30:54 PM

going to be great when maryland realizes theyre going to get screwed when the b10 protects their money schools just like the acc does

10/5/2013 11:32:51 PM

reset that game clock assholes

10/5/2013 11:34:00 PM

OSU played a very clean game. Only one penalty

10/5/2013 11:36:41 PM

that makes Vegas happy

10/5/2013 11:38:21 PM

I picked NW in streak for the cash to win or lose by single digits... Fucking cunts!

10/5/2013 11:40:26 PM

If I was a NW fan, that 4th down play seemed iffy from the refs/review officials

10/5/2013 11:41:00 PM

oh, it wasn't iffy. it was complete bullshit

10/5/2013 11:41:54 PM

^ is correct. There's no way he wasn't over the line, but they gave a bullshit spot for a play into a pile, which no review will ever overturn

10/6/2013 1:59:14 AM

completely overmatched

there will be no bowl this season

10/12/2013 6:23:12 PM

10/19/2013 2:13:11 PM

worst onsides kick I've ever seen

10/19/2013 3:02:00 PM

big win on the road. off the 4 game schnide

LOL at that Hail Mary defense

11/2/2013 9:12:38 PM

the fact that you guys pull for/went to NC State and follow Northwestern Football made that happen. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

11/3/2013 3:09:59 PM

who are you?
