A reminder of why Northwestern is 9-3.

Trying to find all the stupid stuff about Mississippi State we can.

Venric Mark earned his third nod as a first team all-American at punt returner, as the FWAA added to the list of organizations that honored Mark for his great season.

We asked For Whom The Cowbell Tolls to come to talk Mississippi State football with the Gator Bowl about three weeks away. He talked about all-everything DB Johnthan Banks, what a win would mean for the Bulldogs, and, um, the cowbell thing.

The East division in review

Mississippi State has shown us how pathetic it is that we play Name of the Week during the Big Ten schedule. For they have the names we wish we had been able to make jokes about. They have all of them.

It would be a little important for Northwestern to beat Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. We know it, Pat Fitzgerald knows it, and you should know it too.

Northwestern RB Venric Mark has been named an all-American at punt returner by the Sporting News and CBS Sports, with more sure to come.
