Is the hook-and-ladder TD play missing from that highlight sequence? How sad.

#13 – You’re a Nebraska fan, so you’ve seen firsthand what our previous d-coordinator was capable of inspiring. Can it get worse?

Alas, Ron Vanderlinden is coming through that door, so we’ll take what we can get.

This was totally my idea….except with making up bullshit instead of factish things.

“Lake the Posts” has to be one of the greatest names for a college football blog that I’ve ever heard. (Had two close friends attend NU during the football wasteland years of the late 80s… I nod approvingly at the reference…)

#10–

the reason they show highlights for the Minnesota/Northwestern game is because Northwestern came back to win that game

Northwestern fan:

Good luck with that “pre-enjoyed” Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator.

Sincerely,
Nebraska fans

Is it too soon to compare a team to Vietnam, or even
Afghanistan? Would good, rule skirting recruiting be like covert ops like in Charlie Wilsons War? Hopefully this year, Bama will be able to “shoot down them helicopters” with the weapons we will be stockpiling from other countries..Phillip Seymor Hoffman was the highlight of that film….should be more coaches or recruiters like him..watching that film makes me instantly want to go back to college, be a lawyer, get into politics so I could get paid to hang with hookers and strippers in Vegas on a routine basis….and get paid from the govt for doing so…so Switzer-esque

Can they obscure the scores when showing highlights? Something odd about watching highlights when you can see that the highlit team is down 3 scores.

I feel like Harry Calas’s voice should sound, a la 1990’s arizona cardinal NFL films season highlight.

Take it from a South Carolina fan: It’s never a good thing when your weakness is the O-line. It’s like a starting pitcher that has a great windup, a ML frame, and shiny numbers on the radar gun, but can’t throw strikes. Aside from that one thing, he’s great.

1930s Japan? You�re killing me, LTP. History is filled with likeable countries fighting against the odds. If you�re picking a WWII country, we�d probably be Finland � outnumbered but tenacious and competent, capable of inflicting massively disproportionate casualties on the enemy (see Michigan�s defense, November 4, 2000). Schembechler and Carr would be unimaginative Soviet generals, unable to achieve victory unless they had massive superiority in troop numbers and materiel.

Go, �Cats!

I think he was meaning no wins @ Michigan since 1995. Michigan lost in both 96 and 2000 at Northwestern.

You forget, Paterno initiated the Russo-Japanese war with his political skullduggery back in ought four.

I’ve gained some respect for the Northwestern program since they *nearly* beat us in 2005. Great post and good luck this year.

I find it really funny that most of their highlights take place on The Big Ten Network
