Northwestern tailgate and banquet photos are here.
The bottom.  The ground floor.  This has to be it.
Rumors swirl of transferring players, we endure lost recruit commitments, and the rabid fans need to “get a life.” All of it takes center stage with The Game approaching, and the media is enjoying picking at the carcass of what [...]

We say goodbye to the seniors, and then we say goodbye to eachother.  Saturday’s tailgate theme, perfectly appropriate with the weather forecast, is Soups and Stews.  The patented sausage and cheese chowder will make an appearance.  Tailgating note:  The Grill has been moved to storage, so burner space will be limited.  If you are bringing [...]
