Northwestern In Talks With Schools For United Center Game

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Buzz to Northwestern!

[Brewtown Andy]

With two Big Ten schools already on the schedule for 13-14 and 14-15, I don't see MU getting involved, unless Northwestern doesn't care when the game is...

[GooooMarquette]

Yup, because eventually they'll be playing in a shiny, new—half empty—arena out by McCormick Place.

Except for nonconference games...when their new arena will be 3/4 empty....

Austin Peay (pronounced Pee for all you gringos) Govenors had an interesting chant that season. Heard it many times during their Tourney run, "The Fly is open, let's go Peay."
Larry probably woulda had his man-string in a bunch kinda like the "Hey" song, hey?

The cheerleaders chant "Show us your Peayness!" at games.

Their boosters are called the Peay-nuts.

I'd be for it. Big stage, smack in the middle of our recruiting territory, heavy alumni presence, beatable but respectable team.

I think the heavy alumni presence could be of special benefit. You know how much it could help us if we pack the United Center with Marquette fans and outcheer Northwestern in their town? Great for recruiting

Which are the reasons why Northwestern isn't going to invite us.
