It’s cool to me that Braun’s saying “why not us” at media day may overtake Barnett saying “take the purple to Pasadena” as the most prophetic statement in our football history. When he said it, I thought it was a bit corny but now it looks like a coach who believed in his players. We have a long road to go but a win would put us one step closer.

Eh, we look like a playoff team. Doesn't mean we'll beat Oregon and Iowa to be clear. But we should beat them both if we're a playoff team.

We're not the players; if they believe the hype, then that's premature. But the good thing with a coach like Braun is that he's so level headed and basically "egoless" as Mark Jackson describes him, it's hard to believe Braun will get caught up in hype. And Chip Kelly has been playing at this level for decades; he know what it's like at the top. He wants to win.

I have more confidence in this coaching staff from top to bottom than I've had in any staff we've had since Barnett. Who knows where that gets us, but we have great coaches and great players; we just have to see if they can get it done.

Path has never been laid out in front of Northwestern like it is now outside of the mid-90s. It's fair to point that out.
