Northwestern coach not looking past Purdue

The article is not so bad, but they have a reader poll next to the article:

Plans for Saturday?
So you may have been guilted into going to Northwestern's last game. This week you will…
* Study in the library
* Head into Chicago
* Hit the tailgate, but not the game
* Stick by my 'Cats all the way, baby


We are not a 1-5 team where the coach guaranteed(promised) victory last week and did not deliver, we are a 5-1 team that played a very poopy 1st quarter vs. the Spartans.  Reader polls like this don't help attendance as 3/4 answers are anti-attendance.  Northwestern has had a historically strong connection to the Trib.  I don't expect a positive bias, but at least we could limit the negative bias.
