Here's their 2024 home schedule

8/31 Miami-Ohio
9/7 Duke
9/14 Eastern Illinois
10/5 Indiana
10/19 Wisconsin
11/16 Ohio State
11/30 Illinois

Northwestern's academic calendar is on a quarter system, and fall classes don't begin until mid-September.

I'd expect their first 4 home games will be on campus, and I'd expect the AD is exploring larger venues for the last 3.

It wouldn't surprise me to…

In the past week, Greg McDermott signed a long-term contract extension with Creighton.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Fred Hoiberg get an interview, especially with the events in Nebraska this past week.

I think it will be hilarious…

"Kirk Henry (Kirk Herbstreit), Lee Clark (Lee Corso), Dirk Howard (Desmond Howard), and Tim Richard (Tom Rinaldi) appeared in all seven years. Steven Ponder (Sam Ponder) and Gene Wilson (Gene Wojciechowski) appeared in five from 2014-18. Chris Fulton (Chris Fowler) appeared in 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Shelley Saunders (Shelley Smith)"

It's like ESPN gave them all porn star names.

I'm pretty sure there was (may still be) a larger version of this photo that I remember seeing at the Coach & Four barber shop, autographed by Bo, with the goal line ref circled, asking "What is this man looking at?"

My understanding was that…

My understanding was that Nebraska chose not to offer McCord.   

Two possible reasons:  1) it was a condition from the Raiola camp, or 2) Rhule didn't want to deal with McCord's helicopter dad.

McCord is from suburban…

McCord is from suburban Philly and played at St. Joe's Prep.

Dad is familiar with (and likes) Rhule from his Temple days.

If one believes Day told McCord he wouldn't be the Buckeyes' 2024 starting QB, the appeal is the opportunity to beat Third Base in Ohio Stadium in front of Buck-I-Guy, Scarlet and Gray Uncle Fester, and all the other Buckeye fans who've blamed McCord for the loss in Ann Arbor.

The appeal is going back to…

If one believes Day told McCord he wouldn't be the starter in 2024, the appeal is the opportunity to return to Columbus and beat Third Base as the Huskers' QB.

I believe part of the appeal for Kyle is that the Huskers will play in Columbus on October 26th (i.e., Payback's A Bitch.)

Many Husker fans are still…

Many Husker fans are still bitter over Husker legacy Joe Burrow not getting any interest from Scott Frost.(or Mike Riley).

It's interesting to see Matt…

It's interesting to see Matt Rhule mentioned in this Kyle McCord thread.

Seems to be some smoke coming from Lincoln.   Consider:

  • Better QB play would've likely resulted in the Huskers winning one to three more games this past season;
  • Nebraska has been active reaching out to QB prospects in the portal.
  • Matt Rhule coached at Temple from 2006-11 and was its head coach from 2013-16.
  • Kyle McCord played at St. Joe's Prep in Philly and is from Downington, PA.
  • The Huskers will play in Columbus next season (e.g., revenge tour)

I suppose it comes down to whatever school offers McCord the best NIL deal.

The frat house can say what they want, but anyone who’s ever seen "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" knows who put it there.

When I lived in A2, I played…

When I lived in A2 after graduation, I played on D-league teams at the Cube.  I remember Doug Karsch skated on an opposing team when he was at WTKA.  Antoine Pitts too.

During that time both of them might have also been in one of Steve Knuble's hockey skills clinics along with me.

Anyway... which leads to the player connection --- during the 2004-05 NHL lockout, Mike Knuble came back to A2 and one night was out on the ice with us demonstrating actual NHL skills.  It was amazing to see NHL-level slapshots from that perspective.

I was a U-M student, but I…

I was a U-M grad student, but I had an internship and had driven to Southfield that Tuesday morning. 

I remember hearing on the radio about the first plane just as I was parking.

The office had a TV and soon everyone was watching CNN.   I remember speculation that the Ren Cen or the Ambassador Bridge might also be targets.

By noon, the management closed the office and I remember it took me over three hours to drive back to Ann Arbor because roads were gridlocked.

I don't remember how long classes were cancelled, but professors used that time later in the week for us to just talk about what we were feeling.

Also, I remember already being sad that morning because I knew one of the Oklahoma State basketball players (Nate Fleming) who died in the plane crash in Colorado earlier in January, and September 11, 2001 would've been his 21st birthday.

Does make you wonder if he was set up so MSU could get rid of him without the massive buyout.

I wonder if the AD had learned that he did this at Colorado too, with other women?

Does that mean Michigan's non-conference schedules in 2024 and 2025 will change?

Otherwise, it's 8 home games in 2024 (Fresno, Texas, Arkansas State, 5 B1G games) and 6 home games in 2025 (New Mexico, at Oklahoma, Central Michigan, 4 B1G games)

Will the 2024 Texas game now be in Austin with the 2025 Oklahoma game in Ann Arbor?
