were on the call:
TIRED: It’s called the blizzard defense because Evanston is cold
WIRED: It’s called the blizzard defense because it blinds and overwhelms opponents

Big news for

The Alexandria, Ind. native will have two more years of eligibility and look to impact the Northwestern defensive and serving efforts immediately.
A major shoutout to sports director emeritus
@thetimhackett
who wraps up an incredible 4 years with our station today! Thanks for all you’ve done for the station!
Will Greer, a journalism major at
@NorthwesternU
has been selected as the 2018 William R. Reed Memorial Award Winner, presented to a student journalist from one of the Big Ten campuses:
Northwestern wants to prove something to the committee. They were ranked 16, the final hosting spot, in last week's rankings. That committee is gonna have to stare at a Wildcat team with four top-40 RPI road wins.
And finally, a huge thanks from all of us here at WNUR to all of you for listening all year long! Today marks our final broadcast of the 2018-19 season, and we couldn’t be prouder of how this year has gone, but none of it would’ve been possible without all of you.
