[NU Sports] What a great win

[Brian H. Winkler]

Winning Karma story -  I agreed reluctantly to play a competitive game of 
"Kids Monopoly" board game with my five year old - moving me from my 
comfortable recliner (which I always sit in for games) to the floor.  On 
the third role of the dice, Wooton sacks Stanzi and you know the rest.  I 
watched the rest of the game sitting in discomfort on the floor to appease 
the Karma gods.

I was in my typical Saturday Morning White T and Black Shorts when I fired 
up the computer for our normal game day chat.

Drinking Coffee thru that game, I grabbed a Dogfish Head 90 bottle once 
the game was sealed.

Gooooo CATS, a bowl is now on line - regardless of what happens next - #2 
in a row for Fitz

This is actually a fascinating discussion point for geeks like us.

I am a Dayton native, born and raised in the Church of Buckeye Football. 
Even so, I was from birth an apostate -- my parents both Northwestern 
grads. 

I was at both the 1971 and 2004 Northwestern victories over Ohio State, as 
I think I have said before on this list. Both were incredible.

Even so -- I would argue that for Northwestern, Gary Barnett had it right 
when upon arrival in Evanston he declared that Iowa was our rival. To own 
these guys eight out of the last 13 times is just so great. 

If you want to read some clever and actually really funny stuff, check out 
the "Black Heart, Gold Pants" Iowa blog, at which the Iowa disdain for 
Northwestern is a recurring theme. 

Does that make beating Ohio State sweeter than beating Iowa? Dunno!

BTW, I may be personally responsible for today's winning karma. I had on 
my purple Wildcat jersey through the first quarter, then changed to the 
white road jersey because of course we were on the road -- my bad at the 
start, for sure. Just a moment after I switched to the white road gear, 
Stanzi went down.

So I'm it -- unless, of course, any of you ladies or gentlemen changed 
your shirts or even the way you yourselves were sitting on the couch. You 
never know what might turn the karma!

I was so nervous during this game, I was pacing through the house. Some 
plays I watched in front of the living-room TV, some in front of the TV in 
my home office. My kids thought it hilarious.

Go Wildcats! Fear the purple!

Yes, there is.  Beating Ohio State.  We do that once every three decades. 
But I'll take beating Iowa anytime.
