[NU Sports] Congrats Mr. Phillips!

[Jim Leonard]

I don't think the success of the Wrigley game is dependent on getting a win. 
Clearly that's what we all want but the idea is to promote NU football within 
Chicago and that seems to be working. I'd feel much better if we had Persa but 
I'm still not intimidated by Illinois. 

As a side note, I don't care for the College Game Day show. I understand why the 
masses love it, but it just seems tacky hundreds of people show up hours and 
hours before the game hoping for 5 seconds on TV. I shall not lead a protest 
against it, it's well within the boundaries of harmless fun but I think it 
jumped the shark about 5 seasons ago. 

Go Cats!
Jim

Having a Lee Corso in attendance is hardly evidence of success.  Mostly, it is 
evidence of how low the success bar has been set.

The sellout success won't be known until Saturday.  Yesterday was a sell-out, 
but half of the fans were wearing black and yellow.

Finally, the wisdom of giving up a home conference game won't be known until the 
W or L is in the books.

A sellout and College Gameday coming to Wrigley!



Should be a nice showcase for Northwestern football, coming off of the big win 

over Iowa.



I am delighted to eat crow on this one - I didn't think giving up a home game 

for Wrigley without the Illini also doing so was a good idea, but it already has 


become the "event" our AD was hoping for to help NU football take over the 

Chicago media market - and now going national!



Well done, Mr. Phillips!

GO CATS!!!

PS - Now let's hope we give 'em a good show!
