big win for Northwestern Saturday...down 24-7 they pulled off the comeback and handed the Jokeyes a 28-27 loss...i always pull for NW as long as they arent playing Illinois...just wondering does anyone else have any opinions on Northwestern

I feel the same way about NW. As long as they're not playing Illinois I root for them to win. They keep having some sweet comebacks this year. If it can't be us, I'm glad its them.

Totally agree.

I wanted to see NU get to a bowl game this year (and thought it would take a win over the Illini to get there), but now that they're eligible, I'm really hoping Zook can pull off a big upset to end our season on a high note.

Being from Evanston, I tend to not root for Northwestern but I was way too happy to see them beat Iowa. That was great. Also, how about them Bears?!?!?!?! :D
