Anyone know if there's a plausible alternative to Austin Jackson? I'm not a baseball expert by any means, but it seems to me whatever benefit we get from his legs is offset by his (recent, admittedly) offensive ineptitude. |
| 1 year 37 weeks ago | The man should consider Northwestern |
to be united with Chi Chi Ariguzo and Jeremy "Fried Ice Cream" Ebert. |
| 1 year 38 weeks ago | A few notes/corrections: |
The word is that Kain Colter is the second QB off the bench, not Watkins. In the early going they're actually calling him "QB 1b" -- I think he might have the start against BC in week one. Colter is an athlete, could be a RB or WR if his dreadful passing doesn't improve, though that's what people said about Persa prior to his breakout last season.
The NU concept of "superback" is bizzarre. Dunsmore is more like a hulking un-tackleable slot than a TE, Nagel is basically a fullback, and Rooks is a blocking only TE. Kind of. Dunsmore is a beast.
Among the LBs rumor is that Ben Johnson has been passed at SAM, I think by Proby.
At safety, freshman Ibraheim Campbell looks to play alongside Peters. He's alleged to be fast, which is not something you hear a lot when discussing the Wildcats.
Special teams: watch out for Venric Mark in the return game. He's a tiny burner who took one to the house vs Wisconsin last year. He may be more involved in the run game too, but that's just a guess. |

The Rilo Kiley song, as great as it is, belongs to a past era. This year the tone should be less depressed, more blood thirsty. Ideas: Okkervil River, "For Real":
Muse, "Stockholm Syndrome":
Dirtbombs, "Underdog":

It's not updated frequently, but it's frequently genius. |

...because I've seen it all over the godamn place recently...
but you mean REGRESSING, not digressing.
Bonus: if you say "plus territory" to mean "in your opponents' side of the fifty" you should die.

| 2 years 28 weeks ago | I'm fine with the DC. |
It's the offense that needs new blood. At the end of the third quarter Persa was something like 11 of 15 passing, meanwhile his RBs were averaging about, oh, 3 YPC. Wtf?? If he were allowed to chuck it 40 times NU puts this game away. This was disgraceful. |

Michigan. |
| 2 years 32 weeks ago | This is very true. |
Before you read too much into Saturday's gaffe-fest at Minny, remember that last year NU lost to the Gophers and, unbelievably, Syracuse... before winning at Iowa and at home against Wisconsin. The fact that the Wildcats won ugly despite three red zone turnovers is a novel and auspicious development. Other factors to keep in mind: Fitzgerald has been stubborn as hell trying to find a non-Persa based run game, but will be forced to revert to his typical pass happy playcalling in tough games. Persa's numbers are going to be astounding at least a few games this year. TE/SB Drake Dunsmore is as scary and essential as Ebert, and was out for the second half vs. Minny. He's cleared to play against Purdue, so woot. NU shot itself in the foot with penalties the last two weeks but if the past is a guide that is unlikely to be a problem going forward. Fitzgerald's teams are usually some of the least penalized in the league. I think the Knowledge is right on at 6-2, but those two losses will still be competitive. |

Michigan wins, gets a defensive TD. |
| 2 years 34 weeks ago | It'll be a strange one: |
PSU @ Iowa: Iowa by 14 or so. Claybourn makes haggis out of Bolden's innards. MSU @Iowa: Iowa hangs on. Iowa @ UM: Iowa's RB corps has by this point been reduced to a walk-on border collie named Squiffy. MM fears no scatback, Denard throws for 350 and UM rolls by 21. Iowa @NU: Shootout. Iowa wins in OT. MSU @UM: RR breaks out some new tricks. This one gets ugly. 56-24 UM. UM @PSU: UM, this one's close. MSU @ NU: Persa's been held back in the OOC, as Fitz sought in vain a functional running back. The quest will be abandoned, and Persa will launch 45 or 50 passes, completing 45 or 50 of them against that Spartan back 4 that reminds me of that Python sketch called "Upper Class Twit of The Year Contest" except of course on the class front. NU by 20. MSU @ PSU: The Twits handle the Haggis; ugly. NU @ PSU: NU by a TD. The two best LBs in this game wear purple.
Bonus: Pryor is injured for at least three games, OSU dropping two of these. Results:
Michigan: 8-0 NU: 7-1 after that who cares?

NU is in the midst of its annual September mystifying rough patch, but unlike past years (Syracuse '09) they found a way to win despite a clunker performance. Ask Badgers or Hawkeyes how sucky that team turned out. Then there's this: (and remember that Persa played only the first half vs Illinois State)
