Northwestern's unmitigated recruiting success, a lack of available scholarships, and a slew of seniors leaving early make us wonder: is it smart to continue redshirting pretty much everybody that comes through the program?
Drake Dunsmore hangs up the cleats
Drake Dunsmore is no longer in the NFL, retiring at 24, hopefully not related to a medical condition he had at Northwestern. Oh, BTW, we have a page keeping track of NU players in the NFL, if you're interested.
'Cruiting, night games... optimism?
Cool things are happening with Northwestern football. Wait, what's this weird feeling? Why are the edges of my mouth curling upwards?

Illinois keeps trying to make us hate them, but hahaha, HA, guys, stop, you're tickling us.

Brian Arnfelt's 38 reps on the bench press would've been tops at the NFL Combine, good news for a player not high on many people's draft lists.

Northwestern's spring football is devoid of drama, signing day wasn't a big deal, they never change coaches, even assistants, and the players stay out of trouble. I guess all they do is win football games?
NU spring football starts today!
It might be early, but the Wildcats are starting spring football. What should we be paying attention to? Oh, nothing? Great.
