Illinois-Northwestern had announced attendance of about 26,000 last year. Most of the games that I can recall have featured an opponent that travels well and has a large Chicago alumni base (Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa). I'd like to think that there will be a sizeable Gopher contingent there...

I attended the Northwestern-Illinois game last November (the Saturday after the Gophers win at Camp Randall). I assumed that there would be lots of tickets available on the secondary market for under face value given that Northwestern doesn't draw flies and it was a holiday weekend. As I...

What's the time frame to determine who made the "better hire?" If you mean who will most people say has the better coach when practice starts in the fall, I'd guess Iowa will win that debate. If you mean who, looking back in five years, advanced their program the most beyond their current...

Dylan begs to differ.

We should all have someone in our lives who loves us as much as Shama loves Tauer.
