Oops, willycat, I just re-read your post. I do not mean that LTP will be posting here. I mean that there will be at least one or two more columns on his website in the near future regarding , Most likely, the basketball team, NCAA tournament, etc.

Go to his website, as linked in the first post in this thread. Also, if you are a friend of his on Facebook, you will almost certainly see his
articles referenced
there.

That was a great read! I have vaguely fond memories of McGaw's dirt floor and iirc a sand pit for track practice and stronger memories of feeling terror at the top of the freestanding bleachers wobble as people moved around.

Thanks. Love this line regarding Wednesday"s "The Miracle:"

Nate Taphorn’s epic pass and Dererk Pardon’s unforgettable game-winning buzzer beater to beat Michigan 67-65 was the biggest moment in modern (post WWII) Northwestern basketball history but also the fan base’s biggest release valve in history. And man does it feel frickin’ great.

The godfather of NU sports blogging returns! His Sailgate was maybe the coolest fan experience I've had, perhaps even above the Wrigley game. Anyway, fun post and looking forward to more.

This was outstanding and outstandingly well written. I want to know how to get on his private email that he sends out to around 50 people.

I saw my first NU basketball game in early 1968 when the 'Cats beat Wisconsin at McGaw Hall. And the dirt track and ooollld wooden bleachers made it seem authentic. I was a high school senior used to playing in a much smaller, and quieter, gym. From that point on I was hooked on NU hoops. When the first renovation came, Welsh-Ryan felt like a world class basketball arena by comparison. I will miss its current incarnation, but can only imagine what a quantum leap the new version will represent. And what a great home it will make for the 'Cats to have even greater success.

But I digress... Thanks for the great Special Edition, LTP. So well written and straight from the heart.
