[NU Sports] Could Northwestern emulate Iowa's Black and GoldSaturday?

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Penn State has also done a block S in the student sections - even before they started with the whiteouts - I remember Ohio State's students doing something similar as well.

But nice to see fans getting involved and would 1ove to see Ryan Field cloaked in purple some day. Not just the students, the WHOLE stadium.

But like I said, for now, I'm still just tickled that they stand on third down -- I was looking around expecting someone to yell for me to sit down the first time. It was awesome! :)

GO CATS!!!
