I just realized I'm not in the game thread...

Well, that's why I don't make the big bucks.

Normally I'm with you but I just feel like, we're on the ropes man. Need something big.

Gotta go for it....

Wow, Brett must have told the boys how much he loves beating Minnesota. They came to play.

Wow, what's going on with our line?

Those helmets with the tiny "M" on them always get me. Were they throwback? They look like 1960s helmets! Great clip.

Because he was hired around the same time as Fleck, and people--rightly or wrongly--look at the two as being in comparison/competition. The hype was big: There's a new sheriff in town, Frost's got a track record and Fleck is a huckster. There's a perception--rightly or wrongly--that Frost likes...

I heard a rumor that he's going to sign a big contract with Minnesota, the bastards.

PJ gets down the sideline pretty fast. Wonder what his hand-timed 40 is?

I had a friend who went to Macalester who was a real big strong guy but did not play any sports. He said the football coaches there would find him in the hallway and ask him if he wanted to play and he'd have to decline them on a somewhat regular basis. No idea if this was true, but I feel like...

I'm happy my birth was still another year away, and my interest in U sports still 20 or so years away (I transferred to the U when I was 25, started following in 03.

I considered '07, but I think '07 was mitigated by the fact that we brought in a new coach, and you expect some growing pains. In 2010 we'd been bowl eligible the previous two seasons and folks were hopeful for an upward trajectory and then we got shitcanned by South Dakota -- which some...

I was there. Probably the best live sporting event I've attended in my adult life. As a kid at least I had the '91 world series. I've always said that Jeff Horton should get a statue for somehow managing to wrench an amazing moment like that out of a dreadful, dreadful season. Most dreadful...

Indeed. Confucius writes in his Analects, “The gentleman puts into effect his words before allowing them to follow the deed.”

I love how Tanner Morgan has basically become a disciple of PJ's indefatigable positivity, seeing the best in everyone, which is pretty much what you have to do to call Northwestern's fanbase "elite." I like it. Good vibes. Good vibes.

I'm with PJ, the game is four quarters. You don't get trophies for being up by a certain amount at the half. Play your game. I remember a game... I think it was one of our losses to NDSU, Marqueis Gray went for the bomb as time expired before halftime and it got picked and--I believe--returned...

Well right now we're up three TDs on Maryland and we're bleeding them by the neck like some sort of sacrificial hog in the old testament, watching the life fade slowly from their eyes in a way that is tragic but somehow transcendentally necessary within the whole spiritual context of the thing...

Look, clearly some bungling happened on that last drive of the 2nd quarter, but there's something to be said for keeping in the groove, being patient, and playing your game in your own way. It's mostly worked this year so far. The game is four quarters who who gives a shit what the score is at...
