[NU Sports] Philips proposes Cats to play Illinois at Wrigley

[neonrye at aol.com]

If the Illini don't want to do it, screw 'em.? I think Phillips (who struck me as a "go-getter" when I met him at NU Alumni Club of NY Sports Night last Summer) is really on to something.? Although I love the "Red River" analogy, to make it a How about some of these other possibilities:

NU-ND (Revive that old rivalry, now that we have a good chance to win--and Fitz has good karma vs. the Irish)
NU-Stanford?or NU-Vandy or NU-Rice?(The "SAT Bowl").? We have played Duke a lot lately, so I'll leave them out of the mix..
NU-Missouri (Develop a new rivalry after a great Alamo Bowl match-up).? And Mizzou is close enough to send plenty of fans.
NU-Army (Best shot for a "W" vs. a service academy).? I saw us play at West Point several years back, so I know we have some history with the Black Knights.
NU--Florida (I can dream, can't I?:-))

The way MLB is going, they'll still be playing the World Series in November. They darn near did this year, and the upcoming season starts a week later. ?
