Would this send his intensity meter reading off the charts?

The writer seems to like the D but has concerns about the offense. Also points to the game against Illinois as being a big deal. Nothing groundbreaking but still interesting.

Thank you, once again, Ro(editors note:d)ger for takikng the time to preview the Northwestern football team!

As promised, the full preview

(ed note: Me and LTP did an NU preview - go read it.)
Your own Rodger Sherman was kind enough to provide some background on Northwestern over at Hammer & Rails.

i personally hate minnesota. every time i see this i love it.

So ESPN does an expose on the Purple Drank and it doesn't get linked here? How is that possible?

You can sorta see what's going on... I'm watching from Boston, Cats up 5-0.

I haven't posted one of these since the North Carolina game-- not because I'm less excited about this team, but because I'm ridiculously busy this quarter and forgot that this was something I was doing.

I also forgot to go to the game last night-- NU vs. Virginia. Click the link above for the recap. 'Cats win 11-8 in a thrilling overtime finish, with NU trailing going into a lightning delay, then scoring the game-tying goal with 50 seconds left. Cardiac 'Cats. And I wasn't there.

Sunday: #2 Northwestern (14-1) vs. Florida (9-6). It's their last game going into the ALC championship in Columbus. 1pm.

Go 'Cats!

Northwestern (#1) vs. University of North Carolina (#2)

Rematch of the 2009 National Championship game. UNC just beat previously-undefeated #3 Maryland. Expectations are high.

And, as Rodger's new women's lacrosse jinx-o-meter reminds us, we're up to a 41-game winning streak (57-game at home). More about what's on the line here.

And the title link is a must-read profile of Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller.

If you aren't excited at this point, you're not a Northwestern fan.
