The 'Cats "host" Notre Dame tonight in basketball at UIC as part of the Chicago Invitational Challenge (7:30pm BTN). If you start the week with last Saturday's spine-tingling 33-31 win over Wisconsin and add the women's hoops upset of #17 DePaul to the slate, a win tonight over Notre Dame would ...

For the second time in three weeks NU beat a ranked opponent. This icing on the season cake win was the 'Cats best of the season as the atmosphere was electric and Kafka was brilliant. It is a sign of very happy times ahead. It is a senior day none of us will soon forget as NU beats #16 ...

The inaugural Land of Lincoln trophy seemed like it was going to be on the bus early. However, NU let a 21-3 lead slip and again it took a Sherrick McManis pick to bail out the 'Cats who moved to the 7-win mark with the scary 21-16 victory. The 'Cats mastery of their in-state rival continues... ...

Does this game really even need an intro? The #4-ranked and 9-0 Hawkeyes were smelling national title hopes while NU was smelling "save the season". Corey Wootton's TD-inducing sack of Ricky Stanzi will go down as one of the most painful memories in Iowa football history. It is tough to watch. ...

You can debate which game was more of a season-saver: Purdue, Indiana or Iowa, but none was more dramatic of a comeback as this one - NU's biggest EVER. The 'Cats were down 25 points and battled back with the full monty. Like Purdue, we made a big dent in the 2nd quarter and the ...

This one was a turkey, but a win is a win. It gets the snooze award for most boring game of the season. We went in to a shell with our playcalling on offense, but our D emerged with the hard hits we came to expect from 2008. The only memorable play of this game was Sherrick McManis' eye-popping ...

You may thinked I simply forgot a few games, but remember our YouTube guru only posts extended highlights of NU wins. So after the most painful loss of the year - the last second FG to Syracuse and a disappointing loss at home to Minnesota, NU found itself down 21-3 late in the first half at ...

This one is one we'd love to forget. After staking a commanding 21-3 lead in front of shiny, reflecting empty bleachers, Eastern Michigan stormed back as Dwayne Priest ran right through our D-Line at will. Thankfully Stefan Demos saved the day as we won at the final gun 27-24 on a day that was ...

How long ago does this game seem? Our home opener told us little about the Wildcats since Towson was that overmatched. Northwestern put up 329 yards of offense and 37 points in the first half. My lasting memory of this game was the moxie Dan Persa showed taking a lick on his 72-yard TD bomb.

The fact you can order an ND plate under the official jurisdiction of Illinois license plates just furthers my disdain for That Team From South Bend. How an Indiana school gets IL license plate love is beyond description. Thanks to Michael C. for the tip...

Northwestern has been maligned for most of this season for its marshmallow-y soft non-conference schedule. I’ve already gone to great lengths to give context for how this came to be, especially in the wake of Jim Harbaugh’s direct attack on NU for our schedule (I’ll note it again – an open ...

I received double-digit copies of emails to the Chicago Sun-Times sports editor Chris Deluca in the past week. Most of them were professional with a few that read as if Jim O'Donnell had written them himself. However, I received an email yesterday from a loyal LTP reader which had this response ...

Congratulations to the Northwestern women's hoops team for their thrilling upset of #15 DePaul, 59-55 tonight in the night cap double-header. I had said earlier today that the resurgence of the women's program would be one of the surefire storylines of the year in NU athletics. The 'Cats staved ...

Congrats to Zeke Markshausen and Stefan Demos for being named to the Academic All-American roster as part of the Big Ten's eight entrants - the best of any conference. Zeke earned first team honors while Stefan was named to the second team. Below is the actual press release from the Big Ten with ...

The Kevin Coble-less Wildcats improved to 3-1 with a convincing 69-53 victory over Liberty in the first round of the Chicago Invitational Challenge. Freshman Drew Crawford was a monster drilling 5 3-pointers and adding another impressive putback en route to his career high (4 games) 22-points. ...

For the second time in a week, NU edged out Boston College for a prized recruit - this time Ibraheim Campbell, a CB from Chesnut Hill Academy in the Philadelphia, PA area (not to be confused with Chestnut Hill, MA - the home of BC!). Campbell made his visit to NU the weekend of the Penn State ...

The Big Ten Network announced the Big Ten Conference All-Conference teams minutes ago and Mike Kafka was named 2nd team by both the coaches and the media. He got all kinds of love from the BTN staff about being the most valuable player to his team for accounting for nearly 70% of the NU offense, ...
