ESPN Matchup Predictor has Northwestern with an 86.5% of winning, should be interesting to see what the betting line is, haven't seen anything published yet.

It looks like their football coach going from interim to the guy has taken up a lot of the oxygen, but they do have a decent amount of activity there. Its not a graveyard like a lot of other fan bases, ha. I think we punch a bit above our weight when it comes to things like game threads, recruiting, etc.

Well, we really should have a better board than they do. They've been abysmal in football and basketball forever.

You'd think they'd have some more chatter about the weekend since they are currently living in the most stable and success period in the history of their basketball program and their football team is a joke.

They were very solid in football under Fitzgerald.

Since 2012

3, 10 win seasons

2 Big Ten division titles

5-1 bowl record

5 times ending the season ranked, highest being 10th.


110-101, 65-76 overall.

For the past decade they've bee an above average Big Ten school.

Yeah that's basically it though. They had a run in the 90's.

As far as building a fanbase across generations? They haven't done that. They've fostered a ton of apathy.

Like a ghastly run from. 72 to 95 without a winning season that included a period where they lost an NCAA record 34 games in a row.

Was only talking about their football program but yea, last year was their second ever NCAA tournament appearance.

Historically one of the least relevant P6 basketball programs in the country.

Though Dayton lost to Northwestern Anthony Grant admitted that his team wasn't at its best , saying the team was tired . The game today against St. Johns and the previous win over LSU were more indicative of the quality of Dayton . I just don't see this Northwestern team winning tomorrow.

All they did was pass the ball around the perimeter and shoot threes against NW.

The Dayton team that played today would have destroyed NW.

A player to watch on Northwestern is Ryan Landborg. Went for 19 on 6-9 shooting against Dayton. Granted he went for 6 on 2-9 shooting against WMU last game (i’ll cover that for you, 15). Was on that Princeton team last year

I am listening to the Varsity pregame show. The guys said that Bilau is “knocking on the door” regarding playing time.

Not sure if that means he is playing today. Maybe Archie doesn’t plan on opening the door yet.
