It's the week in which we remember the 16th President and our B1G colleagues from Rantoul pay a visit to Mr. Lincoln's hat at its home in Evanston.

And there's also a football game planned.

Given the expected weather (rain/wind) favoring a running offense Illinois makes it close:
NU 21-17

Let's not be thick here. We have nothing to gain or lose by winning. Stakes are low. They would like to beat the team that has beaten them for years. We have been crowing about our lockdown corner all week. They do have a decent QB and a solid WR with the best name in college football. (Certainly one of the most fun to say - phonetically IM-ATTER BAY BAY!)

It is going to be close.

24-21 NU over Rantoul

NU - 28, Ill - 17

Which NU team will show up, the team that went 5 - 0 or the one that lost to MSU?

Cancel the game - need the bye week for the Big Ten Championship game. Ohio State has a bye week now

  • ILL 55-53 NW
  • 5 ties
  • 5 straight wins for Wildcats
Illinois hasn't scored more than 21 points in any of those games.

29-10 last year's game.
Illinois hits 21.
So, what will Northwestern land on?

Meaningless in the grand scope of things, but I want NU to play every Illini game like the conference championship is on the line.

56-3, Cats, and the Illini are going to kick with a minute left to avoid the shutout.

Where does the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk reside these days? Just ridiculous it was retired. Much cooler than the hat.

I am almost positive that it showed up in a video of Coach Fitz’s office.After all, we wanted the last time it was awarded, and so it is ours
