Why we’re not as bad as everyone seems to think.

We tell you what to watch for in the Iowa-NU game.

There was good news and bad news from the Northwestern Wildcats recent weekend of softball.

Many Northwestern teams are actually good, and student attendance could boost our other teams, too.

First the Women’s basketball team pulled out a Big Ten win, now the men get a chance to celebrate. The Wildcats went into Ann Arbor Tuesday night and squeaked out a win against the Michigan Wolverines, 62-60. Craig Moore led the ‘Cats in scoring, pulling in 25 points. This win gives NU [...]

Sometimes, we need to stop gawking at Red Pandas and actually arm ourselves with knowledge to make the fuzzy world a better, fuzzier place. Here is a list of endangered wild cats in North America today. So, don’t go killing any of these animals. And remember, this is apparently where our team [...]

The Big Ten conference hasn’t been kind to the Wildcats. Northwestern remains winless in division play (0-7) and sits at the very bottom of the conference. Tonight at Welsh-Ryan, the ‘Cats get a welcome break from Big Ten play, playing independent squad Texas-Pan American. The Broncs aren’t a pushover though, posting the [...]

Northwestern faces off against Iowa with one more chance to go bowling. A victory today would be NU’s third straight over the Hawkeyes and would make the Cats bowl-eligible for the first time since 2005.
2:00 to go: NU wins the toss and will receive. The student section is surprisingly loud, even outcheering the massive [...]

Our 2-0 record probably doesn’t have anything to do with Willie [...]

The Wildcats get blown out 10-1 by Valparaiso Crusaders on Tuesday.

NNN’s Henry Rosoff talks to us about NU’s prospects against Ohio State.

Patrick St. Michel and I were joking on the shuttle up to Saturday’s men’s basketball game against Wisconsin about how badly we’d lose. The Badgers were ranked in the top 5 nationally. We hadn’t won a single Big Ten game yet.
But something miraculous happened Saturday - the stuff you won’t read in the [...]

There are a lot of reasons for Northwestern fans to celebrate the start of 2007. Our athletic programs are improving steadily and in most sports, we’re staying competitive in the Big Ten. Wildcat athletes are reeling in conference and national titles across the board. Here’s my list of resolutions for the upcoming [...]

Many people often wonder why the ‘Cats always fall short in football and basketball to other Big Ten teams like Michigan and Ohio State. Part of the answer, of course, is tradition. Top high school football players almost never turn down a program with the history of an Ohio State. (Remember that [...]
