starts tonight with a big battle against the BRickmakers

Thorson is being touted as a high draft pick next year. I don't see it but I said the same thing about Allen a few years ago. Offensive line should be great. They lost a lot on offense with Carr and Jackson but I really like what they have returning at RB.

This is not going to be one of those great seasons where they go on a late run. I think the run is early this year before they play a brutal big 10 schedule.

They will beat Purdue on the road tonight.

Weird starting with a conference game.

Post subject:  Re: Northwestern Football 2018

they are set up nicely to go about 6-1 and then come crashing down

I think someone said it elsewhere but this really was a must win for the cats and it was a nice job on the road opening night against a rising program. Cats should be in the top 25 next week.

What a suckfest. Duke gives it to them at home, unreal.

This is typical of a Fitzgerald team. Now they will be forgotten for a month and wonder why no is talking about them

3-3 against Duke now during Fitzgerald’s tenure, and yes, I’d say very typical early season lose against a team they should beat. Still not as bad as the game against ISU two years ago.

Always tough to beat a MAC team at home that hasn't beaten a Big Ten team since the 1800s.

Yeah makes you wonder how bad your team would have to be to lose to these bums. :wink:

Well, I was making fun of good dolphin's sarcastic comment about that game.

But yes, it makes it harder to swallow giving away that game. At least we know that this was the down year. Northwestern was supposed to be good.

To Hell with Duke,they just lost to the Friggin' Zips! The last time the Zips beat a Big10 team was in 1894.

Every year they lose an early game they should have won and then go completely off the radar until October.

If Michigan keeps playing like this, I'm firing Coach Khakis before he can make it back to the post game locker room.

I really thought Harbaugh was going to lead Michigan to Alabama-status. He needs to get back to the NFL, this shit just isnt for him.

Obviously the upperclassment players are not getting enough pussy the first few weeks of the season. Need to wait until the sororities are full.

ND finally getting Cole Kmet (St Viator) involved in the offense. He’s one of the best TE’s in the country and also a hell of a left handed pitcher.

At the game I'd guess. He used to be a season tix holder iirc.

But sadly he hasn't been around much lately. Dumb losses in September probably has gotten to him.

But whose bright idea was it to bring out the uniforms of the early 80s??? :shock:

Never have been a fan of the white helmets. I was fond of the Barnet era unis but I’m okay with the classic purple on purple. Just do t go purple tops with purple pants...grapes.
