I respectfully disagree.

Only game they were "ass" was against Stanford.

Held Boise State to 19. BSU averages 30 per game.
Held Tulsa to 10. Tulsa averages 20.2
Held MSU to 7. MSU averages 13.6
Held Cal to 32. Cal averages 32.
Held AZ to 24. AZ averages 30.3
Held Oregon to 33. Oregon averaages 42.4
Held ASU to 7. ASU averages 17
Held Stanford to 33. Stanford averages 20.7
Held USC to 42. USC averages 43.8
Held Utah to 28. Utah averages 24.7.

The population of Evanston is about 75,000. I would guesstimate there are close to 25,000 Northwestern Students and Faculty. Although the stadium is not on campus, it's only about a mile away.
I would guesstimate there are about 100,000 Northwestern Alumni living within 50 miles of the stadium.
Northwestern is in what I consider to be metropolitan Chicago. An area of about 9 million residents.
Tomorrow is "Senior Day". Last home game of the season. Northwestern wins and they are Bowl eligible. It is supposed to be 53 degrees and sunny during the game. "Perfect" Football weather for November 18th in Chicagoland.
Face value for tickets is a little steep (between $64 and $82) but decent tickets/seats can be bought for $20 on ticket sites.
I am predicting less than 30,000 people will attend the game.
Sad.

"Sad", is right.

The whole time reading that I was expecting you to finish with what a mass of humanity you were going to have to contend with.

interesting take from a ku fan. i attended the indiana/northwestern game there in late 70s. it was a pleasant enough place. maybe half full. beautiful day. i wondered afterwards why that school fielded a football team at all. they didn't seem to care. why not go the way of chicago and save the effort? but then they did have their moments with ara, gary, and fitz. even then, i'm not sure anyone noticed.

I wish I understood it but I suppose people feel they have better things to do on a Saturday in the fall than attend a Northwestern game.
I figure I attended about 100 Northwestern games in my lifetime and the majority of the games I attended there were a lot more visiting team's fans than Northwestern fans. While I rooted for Northwestern in every home game except 1 (against KU) I admit the majority of the time I was there because I wanted to see the other team/s play as much if not more than I wanted to see Northwestern play.

Mid 1970s to about 1990 Northwestern very well may have been the worst program in college football.
Barnett came along and all of a sudden in the mid 90s they were beating power house teams like Notre Dame, Michigan, and Penn State. They were competitive during the Walker and Fitzgerald eras.

They were down 56-7 last night with 20 minutes left to play in the game. To a team that was 4-6 (lost their last 6 in a row) and was in in last place in their conference.

To review...
CU started out 3-0.
CU is now 4-7 and 1-7 in their conference.
CU is NOT going to a Bowl.
CU is ass.

To top it all off, his players in which he takes so much pride in and has stressed the importance of being respectful Christian men to - some if not many or most of them seem to take pride in being complete assholes.
I like Deion. I like him a lot less after this season and his tenure at CU.


This rubbed me the wrong way last night. I'm 100% in support of players playing with emotion - but under control.
Probably one of the 5 most talented players in college football felt the need to do this....
