Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit have talked more about Northwestern during the Sugar Bowl broadcast than the Citrus Bowl announcers mentioned Northwestern earlier today.
On a personal note, we're students who run this account.
A tough way to go out, but Boo Buie has made a lot of people's college experiences much more fun, including yours truly. The Northwestern GOAT. Thank you for an incredible career.
Uh I do not think you can call a foul on Trevion for one of the coolest putbacks I have ever seen, even if it was on the head of several Northwestern players
FINAL: Northwestern 92, No. 1 Purdue 88
They did it again. They did it again. They did it again.
Truly one of the greatest games in the history of Northwestern Athletics. No notes.
BREAKING:
@670TheScore
has reported that Northwestern baseball head coach Jim Foster has created a "toxic environment in the program" and "broken the spirit of this team."
The report also said Foster "made inappropriate comments about a female staff member."
BREAKING: David Braun has been named the 2023 Big Ten Coach of the Year!
Braun, who had never been a head coach at any level, took the Wildcats from 1-11 to 7-5 and a bowl game. He also won five conference games, including three straight to end the year.
For the first time in program history, Northwestern has won three straight bowls.
The winningest senior class in program history takes down another one.
FINAL: Northwestern 71,
#23
Ohio State 70.
Wildcats storm back from a seven-point deficit down the stretch, then somehow fend off the Buckeyes at the very end to remain alone in first place in the Big Ten.

AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER. The Wildcats march into East Lansing without Pete Nance and Elyjah Williams and come out with a massive win. WOW!
A comeback for the ages.
A quarterback breaking the program passing record.
A blur of a third quarter.
It all happened, and No. 22 Northwestern won the Holiday Bowl over No. 17 Utah.
Collins on preparing for UConn: "It's one game. If we had to play them in a best-of-seven, we're not going to win a series. They're the better team across the board. That doesn't mean on one night, you can't put it together. Our guys, they're relishing the opportunity."
At this point, you could very possibly say Northwestern is a top 15 team in:
Field Hockey
Women's Lax
Softball
Volleyball
Women's Soccer
The women's sports renaissance at this school right now is absolutely magnificent.
Northwestern baseball coach Jim Foster created a toxic workplace environment that was so bad, it caused half of the team to end up in therapy.
Our
@gjdorsey7
spoke with athletes, staffers, managers and more who shared their nightmarish year under Foster:
FINAL: No. 14 Northwestern 35, Auburn 19.
The 'Cats (7-2) are Citrus Bowl champions in a remarkable season.
More importantly, defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz earns his 400th career coaching victory before retirement.
Retire the gold pullover and hang it in the Louvre.
FINAL: Northwestern 65, Rutgers 53
It didn't need to be pretty, it just needed to be a win, and a win it was! Brooks Barnhizer and Matt Nicholson help lead NU ahead, Boo Buie turns it up late to close the door, and THE NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS FINISH THE B1G SEASON IN 2ND PLACE.
FINAL: Northwestern 8, Arizona State 6
They've done it! The Northwestern Wildcats are headed back to the Women's College World Series after coming back from down 5-0! The Cardiac 'Cats are going to OKC!
FINAL: Northwestern 96, No. 10 Illinois 91
No court storming, but another top-10 takedown in Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Boo Buie was absolutely unreal with 29 points. Meanwhile, Brooks Barnhizer poured in 23, and Ty Berry had 14 all in the second half.
NU is 10-1 at home!
Okay this is a wild graphic. If NU and Ohio State win this weekend, Northwestern has an 18% chance to make the Playoff. And if NU and Indiana win, Northwestern has a 28% (!!!!) chance to make the Playoff WHAT THE HELL
FINAL: Northwestern 21, Iowa 20.
Northwestern comes back from a 17-0 first quarter deficit and wins an absolute rock fight in the second half.
It was not pretty, but the Wildcats are 2-0 and have everything in front of them.
Why Northwestern should have been in the playoff, explained:
- The Wildcats are the only team besides Alabama to score 35+ points on Auburn
- The Wildcats held Ohio State to 22 points. The Buckeyes have already scored 28 points with 5 minutes left in the first half
FINAL: Northwestern 2, Harvard 1
For the first time in program history, Northwestern is going to the national title game. It will face No. 9 Liberty, who it beat 4-3 in September. The dream lives on.
And there it is.
Sandwiched between Providence and San Diego State,
@NUMensBball
re-enters the AP Top 25 at No. 21. On a Monday in late February, in the year 2023, the 'Cats are ranked.
BREAKING: Northwestern running back Evan Hull makes it official, declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft, per his Instagram.
Wishing all the best to No. 26, whose presence in purple and white will certainly be missed.
Final thoughts from the Big Ten Championship day: Northwestern had its chances and didn't take advantage of them. But the Wildcats proved they belonged. And after last year, that's huge. People should, and I believe will, be less surprised when NU gets back to Indianapolis.
An all-time crossover: Bears QB Justin Fields came to Northwestern lacrosse practice today.
Just one Big Ten champ watching another set of them 🫡

"We're knocking on the door of where we want this program to be, winning Big Ten Championships...this thing is rolling." Then adds there's a lot of recruiting excitement. It SURE sounds like he's ready to return next year.
BREAKING: Per an official release, Northwestern football will play home games at an altered Martin Stadium for the 2024 and 2025 season.
'Cats football on the lake 🔜
No matter how this ends, this team has displayed such admirable resilience this entire year. Nothing but pride.
And if this is the last we see of Buie, Audige, and Beran: Thank you.
BREAKING: Northwestern will head to its third NCAA Tournament in program history, going to Brooklyn as a No. 9 seed to play Florida Atlantic on Friday!
FINAL: Northwestern advances to the Round of 32 for the second time ever, defeating Boise State by the score of 75-67.
An all-around phenomenal performance. Buie and Audige had 22 and 20 points, while Berry chipped in 13.
