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

[CHerron604 at aol.com]

We should continue to schedule 3 home non-conf games, and 1 on the  road
 
The home and home games should rotate through Stanford, Duke, Rice, other  
schools that would make nice trips (and allow local alums to come out and see  
the Cats).
 
The home games should be like recent years - a middling MAC team, a non-FBS  
team (as long as that remains legal), like Towson, and maybe one more  
weakling.  Remember, it is imperative that we go 3-1 or 4-0.
 
Don't even give the Evil empire the time of day
 
A nice rotation of Army, Navy and Air Force at Soldier Field, and bus in a  
lot of guys from Great Lakes and the VA facilities could work.  Probably  won't 
help recruiting much, but will reinforce the stature of NU.

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.  ?
