It has to be rare, but have we ever lost both regular season matchups to Northwestern? I'm guessing it has happened, but I truly do not remember a season where it happened.

This is a MUST WIN. I will not be able to sleep tonight, and will not be able to function at work tomorrow if we lose 2 to our little sister to the North.

Last time it happened was the 65-66 season. And we’ve never lost more than three in a row to the Cats.

Kelly Pfeifer KNOWS that he owes us for robbing us at Indiana. Those 3 or 4 point swings absolutely matter in close games. First the refs blow it in early September when Hightower had a clear TD at Indiana, then the refs blew it and called a Flagrant when Coleman Hawkins cheered his own dunk like 99.9% of athletes do. As much as I hate Indiana, I hate Northwestern more. Ok maybe I hate them equally, and hate Michigan the most, but that's a conversation for a different day.

Something tells me Pfeifer is going to hear it from the faithful tonight....

I would like Coleman to come out semi aggressive early tonight...and also work it into Dain to start most sets...

Because that'll make him want to be kind

If I may ask, what is it about this crew that make people upset? Did something happen specifically or is it just referees, in general, that we have a disdain for?
Specifically, Pfeifer was the one who called the ridiculous T on Hawkins in the Indiana game. Generally, he is just a very bad official.
