Northwestern Will Be Dancing

[Tugg Speedman]

Enjoy Northwestern tearing the heart out of Michigan earlier tonight ..

Michigan ties the game at 65 with 1.7 seconds left.  NU in-bounds the ball with an 80 foot pass and lays it in at the horn to win.  Enjoy (sorry Keefe) ...

Northwestern is now 21 - 9 overall.

They are 10 - 7 in the Big 10.  This is the first time NU has won 10 B1G games since March 4, 1933 ... the same day that FDR was inaugurated. 



That should do it for NU, I'm calling them a lock.  They could lose to Purdue at home Sunday to finish the season and then lose in the first game of the B1G tourney and I still think they go dancing.

disagree?

Nope, lock it up for the boys in purple. Couldn't have happened against a better team as well (except maybe Wisconsin or Notre Dame)

He certainly deserves at least an interview. What he has done with that program is incredible.

I know you dont turn down Duke, and this im sure if offered he would take the job. But he just looks so happy being at Northwestern, and back in the Chicagoland area and if youve seen a NU game this year, you've probably seen Doug jumping around in the stands as well.

Also, in his press conference is Chicago accent was in top form.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Congrats to the Cats. Just saying, I called it two years ago 

Check out this video though that the Northwestern athletic department put together, pretty incredible stuff. Though it makes me think NU will now get trounced in the first round if they keep on this "just happy to be here" mood.

Most interesting thing about NW in for me is that they're playing Vandy, a team we beat by 2,000 points yet was still seeded higher than we are. Very curious to see how that turns out.

[Skitch]

This made me laugh.  Apparently her son is a walk on for Northwestern.

She's a Northwestern grad herself.

I do love me some Selina Meyer/Elaine Benes!

With Collins getting Northwestern into the tourney, Wojo getting MU back, Notre Dame's run in the ACC  and Johnny Dawkins getting UCF into the NIT in his first year (after the team won 37 games the previous three seasons), not a bad weekend for the Krzyzewski coaching tree.

Might be the highest ever combined SAT scores in a tournament game....

ND-Princeton will be up there too...especially if you use the inflated scores that ND athletes claim to have gotten.

Coulda used her at the Providence game.

[rocket surgeon]

[Tugg Speedman]

Awesome!

So are Seth Meyers and Steven Colbert.  So NU should get lots of love on TV.

[cheebs09]

Don't forget Darren Rovell. The most insufferable Twitter account has topped itself these past few weeks.

[Skitch]

And Mike Greenberg and Michael Wilbon too.

[Tugg Speedman]

Awesome!

As is her husband and Charlie's dad ... Brad Hall

Am I the only one bothered that a reproduction of the Constitution incorrectly has John Hancock's John Hancock?

I'll never get why, but always thought Elaine was a babe

[MU82]

The media is full of Northwestern grads, so they'll get plenty of love. In many ways, Northwestern is fa more of a national story than a Chicago story.

Historically, they are a complete afterthought in the Chicago area, though I imagine the bandwagon has grown considerably this season.

She is very well preserved for a 56-year-old woman.  If she has had anything done, you can't tell.

She is very well preserved for a 56-year-old woman.  If she has had anything done, you can't tell.

She is also incredibly wealthy outside of her acting and producing work.  Her father was a French born businessman worth over $3 billion when he died last year.
