Is everybody on-board with the 4 candidate trophies for the series against Illinois ?

http://nusports.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/033109aab.html

- Land of Lincoln (Stovepipe hat on White Oak)
-?Presidents' Trophy (Honoring Lincoln, Grant, Reagan and Obama)
- Popcorn Bowl (Is this really the Illinois state snack ?)? I'd rather see a deep dish pizza pan...
- Graham - Grange Fire Bell

Fan votes (especially on-line fan votes) always scare me a little.

Chuck Herron?? Tech '85

Thanks for that link.

To me, the fire bell seemed like the best one by far, even before I read 
that the original trophy was a bell, and naming it after football 
players is fitting as well. I suppose the Lincoln thing is the only 
other one I'd be okay with, depending on whether it looks too cheesy. 
The "president" thing opens itself too much to political trolling, and 
the popcorn thing just seems silly. Maybe some fan will come up with an 
even better idea, though.

It looks like the voting is conducted through the U of I website; 
hopefully they won't cook the results to favor Illini votes. :)

What were the favorite suggestions from this list when this was hashed out
here a few months ago?  I think I remember variants of all of these (except
the Popcorn Bowl) floated around but there were one or two clear leaders, as
I recall.  Maybe Graham-Grange?  I know that's my favorite of the four
official nominees.  -Joe

True - maybe now that he has a bridge in Hungary and NASA capsule, NU's Stephen Colbert will get this trophy named after him with an online write-in campaign.:)

Aside from the popcorn one, they look pretty reasonable and similar to what we had proposed on this list earlier.

Bring back the fire bell - there has to be a Chicago Fire House that's being
torn down with a bell in the tower.

And I'd bet there are extra fire bells around the museums in Chicago that
would be a fitting tribute to the game between NU and Ill-noise.

He was never likely to be more than a 'just in case' slot on the roster 
anyway.

Orton is likely to get a chilly reception in Denver, folks there remember
what a good quarterback looks like in a home team uniform, unlike many 
Bears fans.

On the opening tip, Michigan State touched the ball but without gaining 
possession, knocked the ball out-of-bounds, giving the ball to Connecticut. 
What direction was the possession arrow after that?

Well, Digger hopefully will shut his trap on the Big Ten being unable to compete with the big leagues.

2-1 vs. the Big East in the tourney
2-0 vs. the ACC (of course, it looks like they'll need a miracle to go 3-0 against the Heels)

Still, 3 different Big Ten teams in the national championship game in 5 years is pretty darn impressive (4 different schools in the last 8 years). The other leagues may be great at the top, but no one has the depth of the Big Ten.

Go Big Ten!

Digger has NEVER been known to shut his trap, not when he was coaching
and certainly not as an 'expert commentator', since he's now being paid
to yap on and on and sound like he knows what he's talking about.  (Of 
course, that's the risk all sports announcers face, the more they talk 
the more likely they are to say something truly stupid.)

All of which makes the continued mediocrity of NU hoops (and that's being
polite) more than frustrating.  I'm not convinced changing coaches is
the solution at this point in time, though.

I am always amazed how a kid who was mediocre at best early in his playing
days, can suddenly bloom into a star. 

Something happens to star players when they turn 18, and again 21. Not sure
why but for some reason, the HS kids I see every day seem to figure out that
it takes hard work to play at the top level when they turn 18. You see the
same thing in college kids when they turn 21, between soph and junior years
if they redshirt.

Kafka is in that second group, and if he is for real, we'll know at the
spring game. If not, Fitz has already said that Persa is pushing and will
continue to push. (and I wonder if Brewer is taking any snaps?)

First off, I doubt Brewer is taking any snaps at QB - his skills will be
very much needed at WR as NU has to establish some legitimate threats at
that position after losing their top 3 from the past few years.

I believe Kafka has the skills to be a very solid QB, especially considering
his skills (primarily his running ability) coupled with McCall's spread
offense, which utilizes QB runs quite often.  I actually think that the NU
offense will be able to move the ball more consistently this year thanks to
Kafka's skills fitting better with the system than CJ, who always preferred
passing over running (even though he was a considered a "dual-threat" QB out
of HS).  Also, consider that the very young OL from last year will have a
year of experience under their belt and some talented underclassmen nipping
at their heels.  Although the offense lost a ton of playmakers, things may
not be as bad as everyone is expecting.

Thank you - Service Video - NU Soccer / Lacrosse
Posted 12 hours ago
Thank you for celebrating Russell's life with us Thursday and Friday. We appreciate all the notes and letters and e-mail and words of encouragement over the last week. We are so blessed to have such a caring community of people carrying us and holding us up along the way. Thanks for all the prayers across the country and in some instances around the world. We are grateful for all the promises of continued prayer and support as we all grieve this temporary earthly separation from Russell. We are looking forward to the day when we get to see Russell once again - with our creator, friend and comforter Jesus.

We wanted to let those that did not see the service know that you can still see it at www.conleycare.com. We will in the coming days post some pictures of the ice cream social that followed the service.

Also the Northwestern tribute and video and photo gallery can be seen at
http://nusports.cstv.com/sports/m-soccer/nw-m-soccer-body.html

Karen, Brian and Garrett went to go see the NU Men's Soccer Team's first spring season exhibition game last night in Evanston. They beat UIC 2-0. And, double bonus - we stayed and watched most of the first half of the Women's Lacrosse game. They beat California 21-4.
In between games, the soccer team showed us the sweatband,(wrist) that the team will wear for the rest of the season in honor of Russell. It is has a RW insignia on it. We will post a picture down the road. They will also rename the inspiration award that Russell won the Russell Witek Team Inspiration Award

Again - thank you. We love you all.

The Brewer remark was thrown in because one of the big plays was the WR pass
downfield and Brewer is one who could let 'er fly if that play is called.

 

Kafka has to fight the "happy feet" syndrome, which is the only thing - IMHO
- he's lacking to become a top flight Big 10 QB in the NU system. He
demonstrated his ability to make the pass plays in the Minny game, but he
also showed a lot of run, something that can be stopped by putting a spy on
him 100% of the time.

 

When RW & Co. introduced the spread at NU, one of the basic rules was that
the QB is the other RB. Kustok, & Baz both ran, in some cases too much for
we old timers. I think it is interesting that both Mike Dunbar and Kevin
Wilson are reported to be talking with the offensive guys. Dunbar was the
guy who recruited CJ heavily, Wilson of course came up with the idea of the
spread, and probably will be the odds on favorite to win the national
championship next year with the spread at OU.

 

Kafka should be turning 21 and should be going through the rededication that
the real stars do when they make the "age of saloon attendance." As always,
I hope for the best and want to see Kafka succeed, but behind him are the
guys who represent the future for the Cats, and as Fitz said, Persa is
pushing for playing time.

 

We'll see.

First off, I doubt Brewer is taking any snaps at QB - his skills will be
very much needed at WR as NU has to establish some legitimate threats at
that position after losing their top 3 from the past few years.

I believe Kafka has the skills to be a very solid QB, especially considering
his skills (primarily his running ability) coupled with McCall's spread
offense, which utilizes QB runs quite often.  I actually think that the NU
offense will be able to move the ball more consistently this year thanks to
Kafka's skills fitting better with the system than CJ, who always preferred
passing over running (even though he was a considered a "dual-threat" QB out
of HS).  Also, consider that the very young OL from last year will have a
year of experience under their belt and some talented underclassmen nipping
at their heels.  Although the offense lost a ton of playmakers, things may
not be as bad as everyone is expecting.

Something happens to star players when they turn 18, and again 21. Not sure
why but for some reason, the HS kids I see every day seem to figure out that
it takes hard work to play at the top level when they turn 18. You see the
same thing in college kids when they turn 21, between soph and junior years
if they redshirt.

Kafka is in that second group, and if he is for real, we'll know at the
spring game. If not, Fitz has already said that Persa is pushing and will
continue to push. (and I wonder if Brewer is taking any snaps?)

The women's lax team pulled off a big win Friday night against Duke. They were actually down 3-0 (and not playing particularly well) halfway through the first half, but turned it around from that point on. They squeezed out a 1 goal lead at halftime, and then dominated Duke in the second half. Morgan Lathrop was particularly impressive in goal in that second half. 

Big crowd on hand too--1300 and some according to the box score, which is probably more than the stands actually hold. What a cool atmosphere--beautiful setting under the lights out there on the lake fill, lots of students on hand and a very vocal crowd. I felt more energy in that small-but-capacity crowd than on many a Saturday at a half-empty Ryan field. 

Unfortunately, Saturday brought some bad news, as Hilary Bowen apparently went down with a knee injury early in the Saturday night game (a blowout against Cal). Tribune says she had an MRI Sunday morning, with an update expected in the next day or so. Losing Bowen would be huge, as evidenced by her monster game against Duke. Like losing Tyrell Sutton huge. 

Fortunately, the Wildcats are very deep--I think they could still win it all even without Bowen, but it would be a much bigger challenge. Hopefully she'll be back to finish out her senior year in style. 

I've said it before, but if you're in the area and haven't checked out a game at Lakeside Field, I highly recommend doing so.

Excellent post Tom -- you captured the evening perfectly.
Somebody from Duke (I am assuming a parent) rented a plane with a banner that was flying over the field several times before the game.

It said 
Duke - W-LAX Share the speed (can't remember if that is toally correct) ; CATS not tonight

Congratulations to a perfect women's sports weekend
2 wins each for lacrosse, softball and tennis

3 teams competing for a national championship
not bad

Along with lacrosse, women's tennis (ranked #1)?and softball (#7)?both are competing for national championships.

Softball had little trouble with a weak Indiana team in a doubleheader on Saturday, but the highlight was that two Cats players hit home runs onto the roof of McGaw Hall.? That's no small feat, as it had been done only once before in 30 years of softball.

The Cats are a fun team to watch, as they are one of the leading home run hitting teams in the country.? They are currently the only Big Team without a conference loss.

Simple, when the older son wanted to walk on at NU, Carmody didn't want him
- he's now at Illinois on scholarship.

And he's a 5th year senior, after missing 2 seasons with his back injury and part of a 3rd after another injury after spring (according to the NU site)

He's been coming back from injury more than most kids have a college career. I hope his does well this year, his last.

Something about that article does not wash.

"...Toledo, Iowa, Miami, Butler and Stanford offered Jordan scholarships..."

Stanford is a flyer in that group.  Could they possibly have a typo and mean some other school?  

Iowa would offer based on Chicago proximity as the Tribune is the most popular big city paper in Iowa City.  I assume Miami was Miami(OH) given Toledo and Butler.

My understanding was his first son could not get into Northwestern and he went to Loyola Academy.  At Whitney Young...

Carmody probably was right not to waste a schollie on Jordan:

His minutes have been going down and he averages less than one point a game.

Looking at the baseball team's dismal record to date, which isn't much different from prior years, why not drop baseball as a varsity sport and start up a men's lacrosse program. If you want to start slowly start it up as a club sport. A friend of mine who has been involved with lacrosse for years tells me that Michigan is about to start up lacrosse a a varsity sport after having had a club program. This same person played for Michigan State which later dropped it for title IX reasons. His opinion is that Northwestern would likely do well and could feed off of the success of the women's program.

Three questions.

- When does the Bill Carmody wtch begin ?? What record does he have to get ?? How far into the post-season does he have to get ?? What are the percent probabilities of either of these events ?

- Of the major sports, which 'gap' is greater - the gap between Fitz' program and the BCS Champion ?? or the gap between BC's program and the programs at UNC/UConn/MSU ?



- Did anybody else see the study from Wellesley?

http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0403/p09s02-coop.html

Does it make sense to argue that we should raise ticket prices to the Womens' events (to prove that they are the equal of the Mens' events ?? Or should we try and keep the non-revenue events (including women's basketball) affordable for families ?? I would argue (and I think NU works this way) that non-rev admission should be structured to maximize attendance, and gain as much exposure as possible with Chicago area fans.?

Given that NU has a baseball alumnus who is the current manager of the New York Yankees and has had numerous other major and minor league players over the last 20 years, elimination of the baseball program appears to be an overreaction to any recent struggles.

But now he's just a defensive specialist with declining minutes and scoring opportunities.

We have Jeremy Nash who gets a lot of floor time, which is increasing.

Ticket Pricing Parity:

Price should follow demand.  If the folks who believe that women's hoops is already on par with men's hoops want to see interest drop, raise the ticket prices to a comparable level.  No, keep prices as is to maximize attendance.  When attendance goes up, then you can start thinking about raising ticket prices.



Baseball/Lacrosse:

I would rather not see Northwestern drop baseball but rather add men's lacrosse outright.  Need a sport to counter with?  Well, the same UM that is adding men's lacrosse already has women's water polo but not men's.  NU already has a pool, so ...

Just a thought.

The struggles ain't recent. Yes, there have been a few NU players who made it to the majors, but for the past several years the program has been anything but successful . I think that the last time NU woon the bigten Lindstrom was the coach and that goes back a long way.

By that logic, might as well eliminate men's basketball then, too. No top half of the Big Ten finishes in decades. Of course, no NCAA tourneys ever. Only NBAers the last 30 years, if I'm not mistaken, were Eschmeyer and McKinney.

> Three questions.
> 
> - When does the Bill Carmody wtch begin ?? What record does

I don't necessarily think there should be one, but I would say that this coming year is Carmody's one to show to the new prez and AD that he's the right guy for the job. I don't think there will be anything before the end of next year unless there's a total meltdown.

The good news for Bill is that we'll have our best returning team in years ... the bad news is that the Big Ten will be loaded as all these super sophs become juniors.

> - Of the major sports, which 'gap' is greater - the

> UNC/UConn/MSU ?

Interesting question. On the field/court, the gap is probably bigger in football because of the massiveness of college football and how the 3-point line, hot shooting, experience vs. one-and-done etc. can be an equalizer (i.e. our Cats on the court with MSU can compete and even win, our Cats on the field with OSU is still not close - and nationally, UConn/UNC in hoops and USC/Florida in football is ouch either way, but still probably hoops).

But in terms of the overall program, Fitz and NU football is way ahead because there's at least a foundation there of the last 15 years with competitive teams, bowl berths, Big Ten championships, etc. We've put ourselves in positions for those breakthrough wins on the national level in football. We can compete in league play, but haven't gotten into position nationally on the court.

I think we should try our best to make them ALL affordable for families - at least until we start filling the house for football and men's basketball games on a regular basis and there is some type of demand.

I'd be interested to see how much of our revenue comes from ticket sales for football or basketball. I can see where it would be a big chunk for Michigan or OSU, but with our small venues and even smaller crowds (not to mention lower ticket prices already than the big boys in the league), I'm not sure it's a huge cash flow stream for us. I'd think most of our athletic department funding comes from the league tie-ins, shoe and TV contracts and such. But that's just a guess in the dark - I have no basis or inside info.

Good topics - you should help out Eddie George with his Big Ten Network show!:)

GO CATS!!!

Our hockey team had its best year ever losing in the championship game vs. McKendree in MACHA Silver.

They play at Highland Park and they had a much better schedule as many of the games were at reasonable time vs. the normal near-midnight puck drops.  We went to 5-6 games, but did not make it to the playoffs as they were in a St. Louis suburb.  Next year looks to be pretty good as our best players are returning as undergrads or graduating and headed to NU graduate school where they can also play.

http://www.northwesternhockey.org/index.php
http://www.machahockey.com/

If you have any questions about hockey contact us or the website as it would be nice to have more fans at the games.  Mostly the fans are parents or girlfriends of the players.

Btw somebody asked the question about varsity hockey at a basketball event of Bienen and he pooh-pooh-ed it mostly by cost.  Without an on-campus rink and the fact that not only is Robert Crown in Evanston a dump, but our team got kicked out a decade ago due to alcohol does not lend itself to varsity hockey.

I'm sure that if NU's AD went to the "powers that be" at the Crown center
and started talking about Div I varsity hockey there, NU could get another
shot at using the ice.

But Beinen is right - hockey can be pretty expensive, what with all the
equipment needed to outfit a team, probably close to that needed for
football. Title IX would require a women's team, and we'd have to expect to
get clobbered for a few years in the Big 10 until the recruiting got going.

Hockey is a natural Big 10 sport but if we're going to add another team
short term, Men's Lacrosse would get us into the Northeast recruiting fray a
lot faster.

Anyway, all you need is cash, or a big donor with lots of cash...

Btw somebody asked the question about varsity hockey at a basketball event
of Bienen and he pooh-pooh-ed it mostly by cost.  Without an on-campus rink
and the fact that not only is Robert Crown in Evanston a dump, but our team
got kicked out a decade ago due to alcohol does not lend itself to varsity
hockey.

and fewer men's sports, too, if demand is defined as paying
spectators, rather than interested students.  How many tickets could
men's fencing sell? (not that I have anything against fencing - and
I'd never insult a man with a sword)

with the exception of a few big money sports (at a few big money
schools), most college sports (and theater, and orchestras, etc.) seem
to exist to enrich the student experience; if they bring in some money
to support themselves (or in the case of 'revenue' sports, the other
sports programs), that's a nice side benefit.  This doesn't bother me
too much, and I think it's fair to charge what the market will bear
without requiring sports which students want to play (tennis,
swimming, xcountry, etc.) to sell tickets.

Except for the 5 or 6 teams who always make the NCAA's - Maryland, Purdue,
and others get respectable crowds in for Women's roundball, I think some of
Maryland's women's games outdraw NU's men's games at times.

But just like its counterproductive to raise taxes during an economic
slowdown, it is counterproductive to raise ticket prices on a sport with low
attendance.

For what ever it is worth, watching the college baseball world series a few years ago, the comment was made that the Mississippi State baseball team draws bigger crowds than the basketball team does. That tells me that the baseball team is a better product, market wise than the BB team; won't ever be able to say that about NU's teams. 

Does anyone know whether NU still have a rifle team? As I recall NROTC sponsored one although it was a letter sport.

Until Lacrosse becomes as popular in Chicago as Ice Hockey, we won?t have a championship product on the field, with large crowds.

 

NU students have demonstrated over the years, that many won?t come to ANY game, so a sport that depends on large student turnouts will always be lacking at NU. Our largest pockets of alumni, after Chicago, are a long way away to just pack up and drop into Evanston on a Thursday night for a wrestling or fencing match.

 

Lacrosse has the right idea, they play on Saturday, and they draw 1500 people which is amazing. 

 

Army-Navy-Hopkins and Maryland are playing a mixed doubleheader in Men?s Lacrosse at the Raven?s stadium this month. I?ll be very curious to see how many people show up.

While part of me is proud to have attended a school where sports are not the kings they are at other "institutions of learning," I do believe the numbers tell another story.

During the mid-90s when I was there, NU regularly sold out of student tickets and averaged 5000+ students at home games (often 6000 or 7000). When you consider that that's more than 2/3 or 3/4 of the student population of NU, that's pretty darn impressive. Especially since it was after they started making the students pay instead of just getting in free with ID like it was when I first arrived.

And there have been some hoops games this year and in the past where the student section seems rather full and the rest of the arena empty - so I'm not sure it's the students.

You just have to remember that we have only 8000 or so NU students on campus, as opposed to schools like dOSU, where the student population would more than fill Ryan Field to capacity.

By the numbers, NU students seem to be pretty good sports fans.

We still have too many Football and Basketball fans who come to the games disguised as empty purple seats.

I know the powers that be are discussing all this as they try to build a campaign to get more fannies in the seats at Football and Basketball, but we were really talking about the smaller sports.

I think Lacrosse has a big opportunity to start building crowds, as long as they keep winning.

Maryland's Men's team drew 2500+ for a game with Georgetown in February, but the women drew less than 800 for a game with Stanford and earlier with Duke so even the long time powers in the Northeast don't do as well as the Cats.

As long as getting to NU's games involves a complex trip by rail, we're going have trouble drawing from the big City or the Northern suburbs. Starting games at 11:00 AM also cuts down on the party atmosphere that draws alums to other schools. (try to park close at a Noon, Navy game if you don't plan to be there by 9 AM!) IMHO it takes too long to get over to Ryan from the interstate on any day, much less game day.

You head over to the main campus for a women's game on the lakefront, and even if you find parking, you've got a long hike to the field. Once you are there it is a great venue, but it can be a long 30 minute walk from public parking.

You might be parking in the wrong spot! 

Last two times I drove to a Lakeside Field game, we were able to park in the lot right behind the field (about a 1 minute walk from car to entrance). That included arriving several minutes after the start of the big the Friday night game against Duke with 1300+ people. Students (most presumably walking) made up a larger portion of the crowd than on some regular game days, but it's still usually easy to find parking. Worst case you park in the lot on the west side of the rec complex, at most a 5 minute walk to the field.

Parking was tougher in previous years, but when they built Lakeside Field, they also paved over another big chunk of the lakefill for more parking between the stadium and the Allen center. Aesthetically not the best move, but it did make parking easier for sporting events.

Until my legs gave out and I had problems walking any distance, we found it pretty easy to get to football games using the purple line after taking the El from downtown Chicago. We also used to take a school bus from the Orrington . I don't know what the problem is unless people are looking for excuses not to go. When we play Wisconsin, MIchigan or OSU for example, those fans don't seem to have a problem getting there. Admittedly there are a lot of promos that NU could use to draw crowds.

While part of me is proud to have attended a school where sports are not the kings they are at other "institutions of learning," I do believe the numbers tell another story. 

During the mid-90s when I was there, NU regularly sold out of student tickets and averaged 5000+ students at home games (often 6000 or 7000). When you consider that that's more than 2/3 or 3/4 of the student population of NU, that's pretty darn impressive. Especially since it was after they started making the students pay instead of just getting in free with ID like it was when I first arrived. 

And there have been some hoops games this year and in the past where the student section seems rather full and the rest of the arena empty - so I'm not sure it's the students. 

You just have to remember that we have only 8000 or so NU students on campus, as opposed to schools like dOSU, where the student population would more than fill Ryan Field to capacity. 

By the numbers, NU students seem to be pretty good sports fans. 

GO CATS!!!

You can also get off the El at Howard and there is a regular commuter 
bus line there (201) that runs several times an hour (even on Saturdays 
but not on Sundays) and stops right at the stadium going from the Howard 
El to Old Orchard via Central. The stop is right by the will call area 
if I recall correctly. This is probably the most convenient way to 
travel for fans who don't have parking passes and can't or do not wish 
to walk. I think there are other buses that stop at that stop as well 
but I do not know what numbers or routes they are or who runs them.

We also used to take a school bus from the Orrington . I don't know what the problem is unless people are looking for excuses not to go. When we play Wisconsin, MIchigan or OSU for example, those fans don't seem to have a problem getting there. Admittedly there are a lot of promos that NU could use to draw crowds.

IMHO it takes too long to get over to Ryan from the interstate on any day, much less game day.

So we showed up at Comiskey last night for the Cats vs. the shame.

It got a little bit nippy, but the results on the field were awesome with the Cats never trailing and eventually winning 5-1 on the strength of some nice down the line hitting.

Northwestern really went all out with Fitz and Phillips in attendance and 5-questions videos from a number of players.  The shame had no special guests and did not do the video questions despite the fact they were the home team.

Hopefully they do this again, although attendance was not super despite the free parking, reasonable weather, and both schools being close.

Just for John D. -- coach Stevens son(2nd base) got caught at 2nd on a single that he tried to extend based on an errant thow.  He also bobbled one ball which defeated a double-play which would have ended an inning.  He also bobbled another ball, but still got the out.  Btw did we see you at the game with the Tiger's cap on?

Last year the season ticket renewal deadline was the day of the spring game
as well (end of April).

Note that the deadline is only to guarantee your current season ticket
location.  You can always renew later, but your seats are no longer
guaranteed.

I don't think the deadline is very surprising - the ticket printing is
probably the biggest lead time obstacle that NU is trying to address with
this deadline - that way their ticket printer has time to process everything
and get them sent out by August.

Also, I'm sure NU is using the renewal rate to determine what other ticket
promotions they can offer (like family packages, special promotions for
certain games, etc.), so they need an early deadline to get working on that
stuff.  AD Phillips has said that they are working on some new pricing and
I'm sure we'll see more of that rolled out into the summer to try and get
more "casual" fans in the seats.  Right now they just want to get the
already-dedicated fans out of the way.

This the first year I used the online renewal which charges your credit card instantly.  

By mail it would sometimes take a month or more for NU to charge your credit card.

We bought away MSU ticks and we will make our bi-annual Urbana trip, but we always scalp there.

Next year it will be new TCF Stadium for the gophers.  My sister(UofMn) alumni is sooo excited about being outdoors and on campus.

 Wow, that's ugly. 
 
Losing Melissa Isaacson in particular is disappointing--one
of my favorite scribes at the Tribune. 

Getting closer and closer to pulling the plug on our

The carnage is not limited to Chicago, the Tribune or the newspaper  
industry.  Last night Len Berman, an institution in NY TV sports coverage  for a 
quarter century, signed off for the last time on Channel 4, WNBC.   While the 
parting was supposedly "amicable", it appears that Len decided to  leave 
before he was pushed out--because of his big salary.  In the past  year many 
Channel 4 reporters--including Medill graduate school alum Jay  DeDapper (the 
station's top political reporter)--have been shown the door--and  it is 
probably the best of the local newscasts--or at least it used to be.

It isn't surprising. First, the Trib goes left politically, which wasn't hard to do after Bertie McCcormick then sells out to the tasteless clown whose name fortunately escapes me for the moment. Then, the Trib and the new owner put a financial package together that virtually guarantees that the employees will get screwed financially. It is unfortunate that the sports writers become the casualties of the financial engineering that takes place in these kinds of takeovers that have become too common. If the New York Marxist Times didn't have a a financial structure that precludes any kind of a takeover, that paper would have been taken over too. The Detroit papers seem t have found a way to survive for the time being by limiting home deliveries as a cost reduction and using the internet to publish the Freep and the Detroit News.

I know a lot of people take delight in the recent demise of newspapers, and a lot of them say that they get all their news from the Internet anyway.

But I wonder when the readers will realize that even that info on the Internet still comes from somewhere, and without these newspaper organizations to bring coverage of football games, stats, features, etc. it's basically going to be press releases from SID offices and bloggers. And they have their place, but I certainly wouldn't want my daily sports report to be all dry SIDspeak full of typos and raving blogger bait.

And I know we never got as much local love from the Chicago press as the Doh!mers, but with resources spread thin already, you wonder if the AP will even send a stringer to some of those games in Evanston. I seem to remember a Duke game in recent years where I couldn't find a writeup online, even with the AP. Good luck with Indiana-NU recaps in the future!

Oh well, some of us will mourn the days when we'd fight the brisk wind to pick up both the Trib and Sun Times from the corner machines and settle in for some nice breakfast reading at the dining halls on a chilly Evanston morning.:(

Lake the Posts had a good/concise take on the newspaper situation.

The Blog Is Becoming Mightier Than The Pen 
http://www.laketheposts.com/2009/04/blog-is-becoming-mightier-than-agate.html

Personally I dropped the Tribune a few years back, because their NU coverage was poor and they could not deliver the paper early enough in the morning.  I dropped the Daily Herald because our carrier refused to double-bag on rainy days despite multiple(10+) calls.  Now I subscribe to a weekly ultra-local paper and even that has too much reguritated Sun-Times crap.  I think a very local weekly paper with a lot on prep sports, local events, local development, and town government could be successful.

Somebody definitely has to find a way to make money in reporting the news as without investigative journalism our politicians would go unfettered.

In general politics don't fit this board, but attacking another list member DEFINITELY does not fit.  If I see a post I think is off-topic I ignore it as this is not the appropriate forum for flame wars.

Anyone who saw the "Pearls before Swine" comic strip the other day, 
http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/2009-04-20
saw one of the problems facing big traditional media.

Much of the political talk has drifted over to the web - The Politico seems
to be the major source of news around the DC area, not the Post. Matt Drudge
- you can love him or hate him - seems to provide an index to things
happening around the US, altho I sometimes question the importance he hangs
on some stories.

I can safely say that while I look at the sports pages of our two Gannet
papers here on the shore, its more to see if my stories on baseball and
softball have made the late editions, not to read the politically inspired
worship of politicians on the front, besides, both local dailies have
excellent web sites which let you scan thru many more local stories faster. 

One scary observation: there was a survey that showed that most of the 18-25
audience got most of their news from Comedy Central. 

Even the commander of the forces in Bagdad has a Facebook site to put out
his thoughts on what's happening in Iraq! The Blog has become the primary
way for anyone with an opinion and a computer to put out his or her thoughts
without checking references or reading history. 

My father still gets the Wilmington, DE newspaper and reads it every morning
before breakfast. At 90 it is hard to break a habit born back in the 20's,
when everyone read a couple of newspapers before work. As a child, we got 3
daily newspapers at home - The Daily News, the Herald Tribune, and Newsday -
and I usually scanned all of them before and after school.

Of my 3 sons, my youngest probably reads the local weekly when there's a
local sports story he's interested in, otherwise, its Sports Center on ESPN.
My other two get their news from the radio, during their commutes and off
the internet.

It?s a shame the newspaper biz has slid to the levels it has, and
(unfortunately) where it is going. Politico started up after the Washington
Post started cutting jobs. It now appears to be "the" source around DC for
political news because the guys writing it picked up where they were prior
to the Post's decision to cut reporters. 

National TV news will be next, with the local news outlets chopping length
of stories, and ignoring anything that can't be told in a minute. Sites like
You-Tube could become the primary source of news with video from cell phones
as the primary medium.

The local weekly newspapers are surviving as vehicles for distributing color
inserts and with stories about neighborhoods and sports.  

What we wind up with here is a general population who has been trained to
think in :30 second sound bites, not the full story. It?s a great
opportunity for anyone with a political bent to spread their personal biases
to, in some cases, a large group of people.

Some of us think that has already happened, and that is one reason for the
shrinking circulation of the printed news medium. I'll leave that analysis
to the media wizards.

I just remember a comment from the General Manager of the 500 daytimer in
Moberly, Missouri, that first billed over a million bucks a year - "You can
have the microphones, and the remote gear, and all the extra stuff if you
can get the advertising to pay for it."

When I first started in Radio, many broadcasters predicted the demise of the
big newspapers because there were more effective advertising media
available. It only took 30 years for that to happen.

Subject: [NU Sports] sports coverage
Message-ID: <886338.98351.qm@web51302.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

The AP has a policy now that they cover all Division I football games. 
?
Given that the membership of the AP is rebelling at the wire service's high prices, and that many papers are becoming more dependent.on the AP, I doubt the AP would cut back on that level of service right now.
?
However, lower levels of football have been slashed: in Pennsylvania the AP used to do 4-5 graphs on D-II and III games -- no more. That's hurt small-college coverage.
?
What I definitely think will happen is that NU will get less coverage in the dailies in Chicago. I don't think they will stop covering home games, and a winning NU team will, I suspect, be covered on the road, but if the 'Cats are 2-6 and at Minneapolis, State College or East Lansing, bring on the AP. Also day-to-day coverage will drop off.
?
That's not good, because no one will replace it. I get tired of people saying "I get my news from the Internet" as if it's Magic News that is produced from thin air. Many, many times the "Internet news" comes from a newspaper or the AP. And almost every electronic media outfit depends on newspapers to give them ideas.
?
Finally, I agree with Mr. Bendat on right-wing loon chants: anyone who calls the NY TImes "Marxist" simply doesn't have the faintest Idea what "Marxism" really is. And ask any true "leftist" if they see the Trib as their ally and watch them break out in hysterical laughter.

I know a lot of people take delight in the recent demise of newspapers, and
a lot of them say that they get all their news from the Internet anyway.

But I wonder when the readers will realize that even that info on the
Internet still comes from somewhere, and without these newspaper
organizations to bring coverage of football games, stats, features, etc.
it's basically going to be press releases from SID offices and bloggers. And
they have their place, but I certainly wouldn't want my daily sports report
to be all dry SIDspeak full of typos and raving blogger bait.

And I know we never got as much local love from the Chicago press as the
Doh!mers, but with resources spread thin already, you wonder if the AP will
even send a stringer to some of those games in Evanston. I seem to remember
a Duke game in recent years where I couldn't find a writeup online, even
with the AP. Good luck with Indiana-NU recaps in the future!

Oh well, some of us will mourn the days when we'd fight the brisk wind to
pick up both the Trib and Sun Times from the corner machines and settle in
for some nice breakfast reading at the dining halls on a chilly Evanston
morning.:(

I am afraid that the "dumbing down" of America has hit newspapers the  
hardest, some good publications, the Economist being my favorite, still get good 
 readership, but bad business decisions and a lack of outrage at real 
political  scandal (Iraq torture not Monica or Spitzer), and little interest in 
real news  (not Casey Anthony) has caused newspapers to lose their edge.   
Here in Orlando our best sports columnist just quit but before he did he had 
his  annual thoroughbred naming contest, my entry was for laid off Chicago 
newspaper  employees, "toZellandBlack"

Anyone  who saw the "Pearls before Swine" comic strip the other day,  
http://comics.com/pearls_before_swine/2009-04-20
saw one of the  problems facing big traditional media.

Much of the political talk has  drifted over to the web - The Politico seems
to be the major source of news  around the DC area, not the Post. Matt 
Drudge
- you can love him or hate  him - seems to provide an index to things
happening around the US, altho I  sometimes question the importance he hangs
on some stories.

I can  safely say that while I look at the sports pages of our two Gannet
papers  here on the shore, its more to see if my stories on baseball and
softball  have made the late editions, not to read the politically inspired
worship  of politicians on the front, besides, both local dailies have
excellent web  sites which let you scan thru many more local stories 
faster. 

One  scary observation: there was a survey that showed that most of the  
18-25
audience got most of their news from Comedy Central. 

Even the  commander of the forces in Bagdad has a Facebook site to put out
his  thoughts on what's happening in Iraq! The Blog has become the primary
way  for anyone with an opinion and a computer to put out his or her  
thoughts
without checking references or reading history. 

My father  still gets the Wilmington, DE newspaper and reads it every 
morning
before  breakfast. At 90 it is hard to break a habit born back in the 20's,
when  everyone read a couple of newspapers before work. As a child, we got  
3
daily newspapers at home - The Daily News, the Herald Tribune, and  Newsday 
-
and I usually scanned all of them before and after  school.

Of my 3 sons, my youngest probably reads the local weekly when  there's a
local sports story he's interested in, otherwise, its Sports  Center on 
ESPN.
My other two get their news from the radio, during their  commutes and off
the internet.

It?s a shame the newspaper biz has  slid to the levels it has, and
(unfortunately) where it is going. Politico  started up after the Washington
Post started cutting jobs. It now appears  to be "the" source around DC for
political news because the guys writing it  picked up where they were prior
to the Post's decision to cut reporters.  

National TV news will be next, with the local news outlets chopping  length
of stories, and ignoring anything that can't be told in a minute.  Sites 
like
You-Tube could become the primary source of news with video from  cell 
phones
as the primary medium.

The local weekly newspapers are  surviving as vehicles for distributing 
color
inserts and with stories about  neighborhoods and sports.  

What we wind up with here is a general  population who has been trained to
think in :30 second sound bites, not the  full story. It?s a great
opportunity for anyone with a political bent to  spread their personal 
biases
to, in some cases, a large group of  people.

Some of us think that has already happened, and that is one  reason for the
shrinking circulation of the printed news medium. I'll leave  that analysis
to the media wizards.

I just remember a comment from  the General Manager of the 500 daytimer in
Moberly, Missouri, that first  billed over a million bucks a year - "You can
have the microphones, and the  remote gear, and all the extra stuff if you
can get the advertising to pay  for it."

When I first started in Radio, many broadcasters predicted the  demise of 
the
big newspapers because there were more effective advertising  media
available. It only took 30 years for that to happen.

Since he will be graduating and switching sports he can apply for a waiver
of the rule requiring him to sit out.  The waiver is almost always routinely
granted to someone entering graduate school in a situation like his.

OK. I don't know about the QB situation at Duke. But if this guy is such a hot shot (at least he was at high school), any reason why Duke did not play him at QB?

Since he will be graduating and switching sports he can apply for a waiver of the rule requiring him to sit out.? The waiver is almost always routinely granted to someone entering graduate school in a situation like his.

But you are right - if he does have NCAA eligibility for football, why wouldn't the football guys lean on Coach K to let him go.

If he lights up Syracuse for a year, how will that resonate among the Dook Alums?

I think it may have to do with the intricacies of the rule, which may
require him to go to graduate school somewhere else in order to take
advantage of the fifth year.   I seem to remember that being the case but I
don't have my NCAA rule book handy.

One thing that works against newspapers such as the Trib , is that people got to loal weekend type papers to get the local stories and to get the coupons, etc. Maybe I'm bizarre but we rarely watch the local TV news rather counting on the Harrisburg paper for that. When e lived in Landenberg , PA which is right on the Delaware border, we used to get the Wilmington paper which was so parochial that the management seemed to thing any news outside Delaware was out of bounds. My guess is too that people have so little time these days that if they read a newspaper it is because it is mandatory to their business, e.g. The Wall Street Journal. As much as it pained me, I even had to read the NY Times to makes sure they didn't screw up a financial release coming from our company, which happened too frequently. Corrections were printed too late to be of any use. By contrast Reuters and the Dow Jones Wire would print corrections As soon as they got them. Admittedly electronic news can be corrected quickly

The carnage is not limited to Chicago, the Tribune or the newspaper 
industry. Last night Len Berman , an institution in NY TV sports coverage for a 
quarter century, signed off for the last time on Channel 4, WNBC . While the 
parting was supposedly "amicable", it appears that Len decided to leave 
before he was pushed out--because of his big salary. In the past year many 
Channel 4 reporters--including Medill graduate school alum Jay DeDapper (the 
station's top political reporter)--have been shown the door--and it is 
probably the best of the local newscasts--or at least it used to be.

I wonder if Paulus considered Delaware, He wouldn't have to sit out a year, or maybe if someone transfers they can play another sport right away. .

OK. I don't know about the QB situation at Duke. But if this guy is such a hot shot (at least he was at high school), any reason why Duke did not play him at QB?

Since he will be graduating and switching sports he can apply for a waiver of the rule requiring him to sit out. The waiver is almost always routinely granted to someone entering graduate school in a situation like his.

Delaware has two really good QB's heading into next year, including the kid from State Penn who beat dOSU.

I doubt that Delaware was seriously interested.

FWIW - Delaware has made a living off of Div I backups. Flacco was riding pine at Pitt when he decided he'd had enough of Wanny. The QB this year will be either a kid they got normally or the State Penn backup guy.

Watch for more fireworks in Newark this year.

The draft always amazes me.

Missouri had 2 1st rounders and I believe a 2nd and 3rd.

We had no draftees and 3 free agent picks.

And yet other than the punt return we dominated the alamo bowl.

Now tOSU had a trillion draftees and I completely understand as other than stopping beano wells for a while we were owned.  I am definitely not an tOSU fan, but anybody who picks them not to win the conference EVERY year has a screw loose.  They are the DOMINATE team until somebody proves otherwise.  I don't believe anybody in the Big Ten has beaten tOSU in consecutive years under Tressel.

I heard a comment on the radio Sunday night that might relate to all this...


They were talking about Mr. Irrelevant, the last pick in the draft, and how
that "honor" doesn't mean the same thing anymore since more and more lower
draft picks are making the pros.

NU has a particularly good record in getting free agents on teams. Kustok,
Baz, and Ulrich are just a couple of names that spring to mind - guys who
were not drafted, but still hung on in training camp. 

I look at the list of Cats in the Pros and I see some good, undrafted ball
players who are still playing on Sunday.

As I always say about recruiting, talk to me in six months.

Along these lines, new Governor (and NU guy) Pat Quinn has removed 'a name' from the Illinois tollbooths, and from the interstate crossings into Illinois.? I believe they now?say something like 'the people of Illinois welcome you' (which they probably should have said all along).? I would hope all Illinois pols would follow suit, but the Chicago and Cook County signs (an incredible number of signs at all of the Cook County Forest Preserves)?don't appear to be changing over..?

True. What interests me about the draft recently is that the school that has won a couple (albeit phony) national titles the past few years - Florida - isn't necessarily the draft stud.

While Florida will always have some dominant athletes that get taken - their use of a spread offense has kind of hurt their NFL draft rep in finding people who will fit in with pro systems - same for OU to a lesser extent. Meanwhile, USC, OSU and Texas are just filling the draft boards.

Well, they are clearly the dominant team talentwise, but I don't think the mountain is that insurmountable. It's certainly not the light years ahead that SC is in the Pac 10 or that OU/UT are in the Big XII. Penn State has beat them for the league title 2 of the last 4 years, and Michigan will not be down too much longer.

Watching the spring game highlights on the Big Ten Network, I think we're in for a heck of a year in the league - it may be like this year in basketball, where no one really respects the league and downplays it, but where we surprise with a load of good teams and maybe one great one (guess who:) ) who can make it to the title game.

I liked the look of Kafka in the spring game with those long strides and more confidence throwing. Our O-line has to step up on the short yardage game, but I think we're going to have a solid season with the potential to be a special one if we get the running game going and Wootten comes back near full strength.

But the bad news is that the league is gonna be loaded - MSU in particular looks like they're ready to step into that Michigan void with that transfer QB ... and don't forget what PSU has coming back (and with the Buckeyes visiting Happy Valley, they could make it 2 straight on Tressel). Plus I don't think Minny will have much of a setback after the big leap last year (they kinda got the setback part out of the way last year, too), and Illinois and Iowa are still dangerous.

The only real question marks are the Hoosier State teams - can Lynch get IU back on track and how mich will Purdooooo miss Wily Joe? And while Wisconsin's cupboard ain't exactly bare, I think the hottest seat in Big Ten country is Bielema's, so that could put some pressure on Bucky.

I'm PUMPED - let's kick it off!!!

GO CATS!!!

Gee,I was kind of disappointed that they didn't go along with the suggestion of someone who had suggested "The Governors Trophy" depicted by a bag of money, That was a hilarious idea. Calling it the Lincoln Trophy makes a lot of sense, but don't bet that some Illinois pols won't try to grab some TV time the first time it is awarded. They will be all over it like a cheap suit. but after that they can crawl back into the woodwork.
