We had to trade the logo for the ranking. Not ideal, but it was just part of the negotiation.

 

[GatoLouco]

The logo was already taken by K State. What were they supposed to do?

 

[NJCat]

Ask and ye shall receive.....

 

[MotownMedilldo]

No logo? I guess the AP is on the glamor program jock-sniffing side even though its executive editor went to Northwestern!

It looks like Rachel Nichols was influenced by Wrassler's posts.

This is a BFD!!!!

Getting ranking and a lot of national attention has often been the kiss of doom for NU teams. I hope this team proves the exception.

Yes. Wither in the spotlight. Football was the same. Get crushed in a B1G prime time game. Beat Utah on NYE on NFL network

Boo will give infusions of the ice in his veins to the rest of the team.

Still probably too low especially after crushing Iowa and leaving no doubt about the previous two wins. But good to be ranked, well-deserved.

Hope the team and the fans see the lack of logo and use it as fuel. AP doesn’t think the Cats will be sticking around.

It is taking a while for the notion that NU is good to seep into voters heads; there are still 6 voters in the AP poll who didn't even votes for us (https://collegepolltracker.com/basketball/team/northwestern-wildcats/2022). We just gotta keeping winning for the voters to notice.

BECAUSE THOSE TEAMS WERE NOT THAT GOOD. THIS TEAM IS GOOOOOOOD.

They are so not used to seeing us there that they could not find it

FWIW, the N logo has made an appearance.

When did we get so fat??!!

When NU feasted on Io_a's turnovers.

"The Week 15 ranking is the latest Northwestern has been ranked in any season."

That's pretty cool.

Why didn't somebody tell me my *** was so big?

The fat logo is worse than no logo!

A classic dad joke is ‘Hey, why does Northwestern have a Z on the field’, and this is the worst example yet.

This is so wild. It’s not like we haven’t been ranked and involved in nationally relevant sports things across many sports like very consistently for years…
