Big Ten conference bigger player in national football power structure
There were a lot of topics on the table of discussion in last week’s Big 10 meetings. First and foremost, is the rapid move towards a four team playoff in college football, which could get here in a couple years. I asked Northwestern Athletic Director Jim Phillips what his biggest takeaways were from the meetings.
“Couple things – tremendous collaboration between all...

Kain Colter to Kyle Prater: Big 10′s next big pass-catch combo?
What a difference a year makes for Northwestern QB Kain Colter. Last season the backup QB to Dan Persa found himself making the stat sheet as a triple threat. You had to look in three areas of the box score: rushing, passing and receiving, to see the entire scope of his impact on the game.
This year, the starting signal caller job is all Colter’s and his main weapon will be...

Northwestern linemen attempt to catch punts
It’s easy for fans to rip their team’s favorite return specialists when they fail to do what they’re being paid or asked to do – namely, catch the ball. However, for anyone’s who’s actually tried to snag a legitimate punt, it’s no easy task. Forty or so yards…plenty of hang time…ample opportunity for the wind to gust up…...

Let's all laugh at Northwestern's linemen trying to catch punts
Northwestern University's football program decided to have a little fun and let the team's linemen test out their punt return skills during a Spring Ball practice last week. The results, as expected, were awesomely hilarious.
I think it's a safe bet that none of those dudes will be getting any burn returning kicks next season. They're no Dan Connolly, that...

Northwestern still needs three wins to make NCAA Tournament
In our latest NCAA Tournament bracket projection, we have Northwestern as a #12 seed, one of the last four teams in. Of course, this isn’t a place you want to stay right now as Selection Sunday approaches.
Even though this is a supposedly “weak bubble,” bracket projections don’t and can’t factor in the “bid-stealing” that will occur next...

Wildcats dead-set on making the Big Dance
The tone in Bill Carmody's voice is cordial, not combative, even though he knows the question that's been asked presumably a thousand times will be posed for the 1,001st occasion. It centers on the two words that have haunted Northwestern's men's basketball program for eight decades now two words that Carmody hopes will stop being used as a punch line in conjunction...

Northwestern Player Punches Monkey Doll In Face
The Northwestern Wildcats have lost 8 bowl games in a row and hope to change that in this years Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas against the Texas A&M Aggies. Of course in order to combat that losing streak, Northwestern made a doll of a monkey in which they can “Get the monkey off of their back”. Real cute guys.
