Message-ID: <90.5eeebe1f.2fcf1071@aol.com>

In congratulatory email I sent to Mark Murphy, I suggested that the  Women's 
Lacrosse Team be honored in a pre-game or halftime ceremony at a home  game 
this fall, a public recognition that would go well beyond a largely student  pep 
rally and also a symbolic statement at Ryan Field that the University  can 
and should aspire to success at the highest level in any sport.  Murphy's reply 
made no commitment, but I think the idea probably will take  hold.
 
I know everyone will insist how much more difficult it is in D-IA football,  
but at the same time for Amonte Hiller to take a team in just four  years from 
club status to national champions in a sport completely and  historically 
dominated by East Coast schools, in my view, rivals Barnett  taking the Purple to 
Pasadena.  Good recruiting, good coaching, good  motivating. It's the same 
formula in every college sport. I'm still waiting to  see if RW and his staff 
can emulate the standard set by their lacrosse  colleagues.

I got this link from a post on the Northwestern Rivals Board. I don't think 
it has been disseminated on this List, but if it has, I'm sure Roy will let us 
know and I apologize. This story in the Koester twin's hometown newspaper is 
primarily the diary of both twins during the NCAA lacrosse tournament. Here's 
the last paragraph of the story as written by Ashley Koester: "But, one thing 
is for certain, we never took our eyes off of the championship ... when others 
laughed at us for believing, we didn't listen, we just put our heads down and 
worked for each other -- we all did it for each other and in the end, we did 
it for Northwestern." Need I say more? This is why I'm a Northwestern sports 
fan. Here's the link:

That's how I view the AFCA academic award ... 100
percent? Can't do any better than that. A 21-gun
salute to our student-athletes, support staff and (not
least) the coaches for knowing what's most important.
Well done, all! 

Interesting, too, that the other 5 above 90 percent
(Dook, BC, N*** D***, Vandy, and [oddly?] Miami
(Ohio)) all have or will be NU foes in recent memory.
This crossed my mind looking at the 2006 slate ...
Nevada? Why? 

A few years ago N*** D*** talked about "academically
compatible" scheduling ... maybe we should too. We'd
still be stuck with Ohio State, but at least the
non-cons would be against real student-athletes.

Interesting - I knew ESPNU would be doing some games, but wonder why we're
on Classic ... certainly not a "classic" rivalry.:) But who cares -
whatever gets us on TV! Since the rest are Big Ten games (and the one at
ASU), does this mean all our games will be televised this year?

In any case, wonderful to see football inching around that corner again. Aaah!

Is the game at ASU being televised?  The article referenced in the original post would suggest that it's not being televised:

"This year, Northwestern expects all but one of its 11 games to be aired by either ESPN or ABC. The Northwestern-Arizona State game in Tempe will be played at 7 p.m. local time (9 p.m. CDT) and the kickoff will not be changed for television because of the excessive daytime heat that normally exists at that time of year."

http://nusports.collegesports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/061605aab.html

Also, on the schedule page, for the ASU game, it says, TV: "none."

http://nusports.collegesports.com/sports/m-footbl/sched/nw-m-footbl-sched.html


So because I go to all the home games anyway, I'm not so excited about the TV coverage.  I really wish the ASU game would get coverage.  Maybe it will get picked up by some hometown network that we'll be able to pick up on something like FoxSportsNetXYZ or whatever, like that game last year that will remain nameless.

At the moment it means all our games except the ASU game will be televised.  
Due to the late start (at least in the east), there is for now no television 
for the ASU game, nor is there expected to be as ASU won't switch the start 
time due to the heat.

Subject: [NU Sports] Two extremes:  Backes and Rees not to play this fall
Message-ID: <7596257ab6adeddb016b1a23d1eb3794@mac.com>

Jeff Backes and center Trevor Rees won't be playing this fall.  I'd say  
this is a case of two extremes because Backes, who ostensibly won't  
play due to a lingering shoulder injury, will be beginning medical  
school at Northwestern this fall, and Rees won't be playing because  
he's being suspended for academic reasons.  One is starting medical  
school, the other can't keep up with college.

I hadn't realized that Backes was going to be a "fifth year senior"  
this year, but given the fact that he has no plans to play in the NFL  
and that he's starting medical school this year, it makes sense to me  
that he won't be playing this season regardless of any injury.  I'll  
miss watching him on kick and punt returns, and I'll never forget the  
OSU interception in the end zone last year.

I just hope we have a decent replacement for Rees at center.  Any  
scouting reports on that position?

I applaud Backes' decision, for any number of reasons.
It's terrific to see our student-athletes achieve at
high levels off the field. And I will always remember
his dazzling punt return to tie the game against
Illinois last year. But his departure makes us even
less deep in an area -- the secondary -- that, to my
mind, has been weak for a decade.

And Rees is not good news, either, again for any
number of reasons. One hopes he can get his grades up.
Many people seem to downplay centers' importance on
lines, but I don't; I think great centers can make a
good line into a fabulous one. I do not find it a
coincidence that the two best NFL teams of the 70's,
the early-70's Dolphins and the mid-late 70's
Steelers, both had Hall of Fame centers.

Not good June football tidings. Anybody got any good
news?

This doesn't sound like academic ineligibility, from the report.  It 
sounds like he failed out.  At NU, you can apply to return to the 
University, typically after a year has passed; the dean of the school 
makes the decision, not the admissions department.  If he puts the year 
away to good use (read: community college or full-time employment) he may 
be allowed to return - what's questionable would be whether or not the 
dean would condition his return upon his not playing football.

Well, they said he was academically ineligible.

Now if after the Spring he didn't have enough credits to be a Junior and play
ball, he could withdraw and go to school to catch up, then return.

Not sure if this is what happened, I'm trying to figure out how I can ask that
question...but if he withdrew voluntarily, he could come back after picking up
enough credits.

Leaving voluntarily is the issue.

   Not exactly news that anyone wanted to hear, that's for sure. It occured 
to me that these losses occured in 2 areas that are a concern; the defensive 
backfield, and the offensive line.
   An idea to ponder....slowly but surely RW has improved depth, particularly 
on the line in both sides of the ball.  We may need to accept the fact that 
we'll be watching players without much experience; guys we don't know much 
about.  
   Think about it.  Before he was hurt, Nick Roach was playing as well or 
better than McGarigle.  I remember questions about Noah Herron, if he could 
handle being a full-time starter.  
   I believe Adam Kadela and David Ngene are players.  Were going to find out 
how much better RW has built up our depth.
   With that said, it's never good to be replacing 4 of 5 offensive line 
starters. And Backes looked like he finally was comfortable with playing DB, as 
well as being a threat to score on every kick-off.  BTW, a big thanks to Jeff 
for his efforts, as well as switching to defense for the good of the team.
   So, while I'm concerned, I'm not ready to accept the annuals consensus of 
a 9th place prognostication.  I see BIG problems at Wisconsin (i.e...under 
.500 this year; bank on it) , Michigan St, PSU and Minnesota.  
   Ohio/NU T.V. on ESPNU.  Any interest of a quasi-list meeting at a GREAT 
sports bar I know outside Philadelphia?  The Winners Circle is College Football 
H.Q. with over 30 TV's and great food.  I watched NU/Indiana basketball game 
there last season, as well as tons of football, and I live an hour and a half 
away!  It's on Pa. route 3 , 2 miles west of Newtown Square, Pa.  I've had the 
chance to meet other list members on and off throughout the years, and it's 
always alot of fun.  Plus, it would be nice to watch a game with my fellow 
Wildcat brethern.
   If interested, let me know, and I'll make the arrangements.

                      GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!          Eric

Yup - both are blows. We need that O-line, and center's even more of a big
deal, and as you say, Backes was turning in to a threat to score every
return and was improving at D-back. Ugh.

>   An idea to ponder....slowly but surely RW has improved depth, particularly

Hope so - you make good points on Roach & Co.

>well as being a threat to score on every kick-off.  BTW, a big thanks to Jeff
>for his efforts, as well as switching to defense for the good of the team.

Ditto that - coming in Mr. Ohio and all, he had to have his heart set on
running back, but he made the change and those big plays against OSU and
Illinois last year were determining factors in two great wins for the team.
I think we all wish him well in future studies.

Hmm ... I hear rumblings from my friends up in Cheeseland on that as well.
But I'll believe it when I see it. As for the other three, I feel the
opposite on PSU. They have pretty much the entire D back from last year and
that was a GOOD defense. If they get even modest offensive production and
cut the turnovers, JoePa could have a nice swan song.

As for MSU, they seem like they're going to be an enigma every year with
Mr. Smith in charge -- they may lose a gimme game early (Rutgers), but they
always seem to improve and can pull an upset or two late. And Minnesota has
a lot back from last year and the usual soft schedule to start things off,
so they should be bowling. Purdue's a big question mark this coming year
too.

Should be another fun year -- the battle of the big three at the top should
be a slugfest that could propel one to the Rose Bowl MNC game or knock all
three out of contention, and after that I can see everyone else making a
bowl run except Indiana and Illinois, and they're going to be better teams
by November and possible bowl spoilers.

Let's skip ahead to September!
GO CATS!!!

It's always tough to see talented kids end their careers, but I don't think
it is all bad news.  It says volumes that Backes has the choice going to med
school because he took advantage of his academic opportunities as well as
his athletic opportunities.  It also says volumes that Rees, regardless of
his football skills, is held to a standard of academic performance as well.
The message is loud and clear.  School comes first and if you can't balance
football and school, then you should stop playing football.

> BTW, a big thanks to Jeff for his efforts, as well as switching to defense

I second that.  He's listed at 5-9 190, but he certainly looked smaller on
the field.  It's a brutal game with huge fast kids out there.  Not
surprising that his shoulders wore out from hitting or being hit by guys 100
lbs heavier and 6 inches taller.
