MEET A MEDILL MEDIA LEGEND:
Dick Stolley

[https://www.nwuconnection.com/Schools/Northwestern/Images/Bemail/LocalRegional%20Clubs/Medill%20Club%20of%20NY/dick%20stoley.jpg]


Dick Stolley (BSJ,1952, MSJ,1953) launched and ran People for its first eight years -- the most successful magazine in publishing history. And that's just one of his many achievements during an incredible 57-year career with Time Inc.

He also edited the monthly Life magazine, covered the South's stormy civil rights movement, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, student riots in Paris, interviewed President Lyndon Johnson, Prince Rainier of Monaco (after Grace Kelly's death) and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, among others.

Now, you have an opportunity to ask questions and hear him discuss his remarkable six decades in journalism, during a special event co-sponsored by Time Inc. and the Medill Club of N.Y. You'll also see a new documentary in which he reveals how he got the Zapruder film of the assassination for Life, one of the 20th century's greatest journalistic scoops.

We expect an unusually large turnout for this exciting event, so reserve your spot now. Here's what you need to know:

Date: Wednesday, April 4
Deadline: Tuesday, April 3

Place: Time and Life Building, 1271 Ave. of the America's (Sixth Ave.)
between 50th and 51st streets, 8th floor auditorium.

Message-ID: <1333313013.24350.YahooMailNeo@web121701.mail.ne1.yahoo.com>

... but with the college hoops season nearing an end, it's time to begin the countdown to the spring game and ultimately, the football season.

I was in Vegas last weekend for my brother's bachelor party and picked up an odds sheet that I rediscovered this weekend while doing laundry.

They don't seem to be high on any Big Ten team for the B(C)S title (top five are USC, Bama, LSU, Oklahoma and Oregon), but in order we have ...

- Notre Dame at 18/1 (though the wannabe Big Ten's teams lines are always skewed by their following - much like the Cubbies in MLB)
- Michigan at 25/1 (up from a 35/1 opening)
- MSU at 35/1
- Nebraska at 40/1
- Wisconsin at 50/1
- Iowa at 50/1
- Ill-noise at 100/1 (same as Stanford without Luck or peppy lil' Jimmy Harbaugh)
- Penn State at 125/1
- Northwestern at 150/1
- The rest are in the field or, in dOSU's case, ineligible (poor St. Urban ... yeah, right).

Looks like the Big Ten's over-tinkering efforts to balance their divisions have already fallen flat, as the power is definitely in the Northwest Division.
With OSU in the penalty box and PSU rebuilding after a devastating 2011 season, Badger fans should already have their hotel reservations in Indy set.

So it looks like we have our work cut out for us this year in the tough division ...

Yesterday was the anniversary of one of the great internet pranks pulled on Northwestern
Alums world wide as Randy Walker and the NU Athletic administration was reported to have
changed the football's conference association to the MAC.

I seem to remember that FEW and GoUPurple had a major hand in this thing - with a very
believable press release, and typical quotes from all concerned.

Wonder if any of that stuff is still in someone's archive.... ?

[one of Coach Roy's Rules - stolen from Tom Bratton when he was Barnett's & NU's Line
coach]

http://www.nusports.com/blog/2012/04/blog-take-no-offense.html

Interesting that with 3 6-7+ guys up front, plus the two 6-5 superbacks, the football team
is taller than the basketball team! Maybe BC could get them to scrimmage with the starters
so we get used to playing bigger teams?

I remember interviewing Zach Streif and Barry Gardner after one spring practice, my arm
hurt having to hold the recorder up that high (I'm 5-9).

If you want to run the ball, you have to have good blocking up front. It doesn't hurt to
have a 300 lb guy setting a pick on a LB either.

Gang,

I wrote the piece at this link, which also has two video features I worked on, re: the 25th anniversary this Friday of the Al Campanis/Nightline episode.  Not a N'western item, but perhaps of interest...

Nice segment, Willie.  It falls along the same line of Howard Cosell's 
famous "look at the little monkey run!" outburst on Monday Night Football, 
which was a statement he used with his grandchildren all the time.

If ABC hadn't been scared to death of Cosell and the impact his firing would
have had on their finances at the time (MNF's glory days), I suspect he might have 
been fired for what he said, regardless of having said it in the past or with his grandkids.

Willie: Thanks for an excellent piece of journalism. It brought back some  
cherished memories I have  of my meeting with Jackie Robinson. Briefly, it  
came about this way: During  the 1964 Presidential campaign I did advance  
radio and Television for Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey and as a result, 
the  Humphrey campaign asked me if I could do the same in 1968. Acting on a 
request  by the DNC, Robinson came to Cincinnati in connection with a speech 
by Humphrey  to be delivered that next day. I had been sent there several 
days before to set  up some radio and TV appearances so it fell to me to meet 
Jackie and take him  around. I met his plane and we went first to an 
intermediate school where  he spoke to an assembly of children on the importance 
of voting. Afterwards we  had lunch with some editors and then went to a 
radio station for an interview,  And it is here that I want to demonstrate the 
tremendous attraction and respect  Jackie Robinson carried with him wherever 
he went. 
 
To get to the studio we had to go through a Department store and while  
walking down one of the aisles a clerk who was showing a customer a tie spotted 
 us. He immediately recognized Jackie, dropped the tie, left the  customer 
standing there, and followed us until we were practically out the door,  
Jackie chatted with him for a few moments and then we continued to the station. 
 Later, I took him to the airport. We were an hour or so before the flight 
so we  spent the time in conversation -- not talking about baseball or 
politics  -- but about the difficulties of being a father. He was a wonderful man 
and  the brief time I spent with him carry memories I will take with me to  
the grave. Thanks again, Willie, for reminding me.

Nice story.  I guess he must have come to the conclusion that many others also had  :that both HHH and LBJ were very sympathetic to the Black man in America's plight, because I was under the assumption that Jackie was a Republican and Nixon supporter

Willie has given us a great insight into not only is issue of Black Management in
Baseball, but a window into the inner workings of the Nightline show as it was run under
Mr. Koppel.

I would not presume to speak for Mr. Capanaris, but out in the suburbs when it happened, a
common perception was that most non-white players had little interest in either coaching
or managing a pro team at any level because they were already making a lot more money and
saw greater opportunity outside of baseball.

Jackie Robinson became a top executive in the food industry. My father knew several black
players on the Jets who became very active in the financial industry. They had the
opportunity to take a job (or start a business) that would keep them close to home, rather
than the gypsy life of a pro baseball manager, coach or executive.

Something else to consider is the number of front office jobs in professional sports.
There are more of them than broadcasting, but I'd bet you have a better shot at rising up
through my old business than you do in a sports organization, regardless of color.

The Ravens have Ozzie Newsom who is widely regarded as a top picker of talent in the NFL.
If you listen to him talk, you realize he had the fire inside to become a leader of a
successful organization. You see that sports team organizational fire in some players (Ray
Lewis, Peyton Manning, later Magic Johnson) and you can almost predict they will go on in
some organization. Others have different interests.

All Campanaris was really trying to say (IMHO) was that as a top executive in a sports
organization, he didn't see the black players demonstrating the interest in working up the
ladder of professional baseball. He used the wrong words, and probably was in the wrong
forum - maybe he should have been speaking to a group of black ballplayers and challenging
them to consider the front office.

The most recent black kid who I've been around as he played baseball has the background
and smarts to eventually work his way up thru an organization, but his goal right now is
to be on sports radio! 

Hopefully, he'll find out that it is the management team who really makes the money, but
those are the hopes and dreams of too many HS kids with a little speed and talent. All I
can do is encourage all of those kids to move on to college or some other career where
they can be successful.

IMHO, the only thing he needs to do is improve on giving the ball away to others on his

Which is what every QB with foot speed needs to do - trust in your ability, but trust even

Looks like NU is taking advantage of the
immediate-eligibility-for-graduate-transfers rule, but in basketball:

I was just about to send this around.  I have watched I think every game Swopshire has played in during his college career and I think he will be a great addition!  I've really been hoping for this the past couple weeks..

He was the first big man off the bench this year for a Final Four team...his numbers werent great after missing his entire junior year bc of injury and only really being healthy for the second half of this season, but his impact for Louisville was just huge.  I don't think there is any way we would have defeated Florida in the Elite Eight without a huge game from Swop...

He was also the first big man off the bench his freshman year for a team that was ranked #1 in the nation going into the NCAA tourney and started most of his sophomore year before the injury...he can rebound, score down low , play defense, is versatile, an also an all around great guy....let's hope he helps take us to the Tourney!

Interesting.

Appears that he is transferring because Pitino didn't have a scholarship for him.

This is for a guy who played in 39 games, averaged 13 minutes a game, and was the 3rd guy off the bench?  

I guess they have too many one and done guys waiting in the wings to waste a scholarship on a guy that has been in the program three years.

Happy to see that this graduate "loophole" paid off so quickly for NU.

Jeff

What I like about this story....

1. Most of the quotes come from his father, which suggests a two parent involvement in his life on and off the court.

2. He has already graduated - and did it in 4 years.

3. His father is proud of all of his accomplishments, including his graduation.

4. oh Yeah, he can play basketball too.

Unlike Aaron, I *know* I have seen every game Swop played at UofL and I
can't think of a better addition for the Cats for next year.  He will fit
in beautifully with Carmody's schemes, both offense and equally, if not
more importantly, defense.  Swop has big game and tournament experience and
is not afraid to take the big shot when needed.  He can score, rebound,
passes well and plays tenacious defense.

As Roy said, he graduated in four years and NU was the only place he
visited.  He and his dad know the NBA is unlikely and want to take
advantage of the opportunity to get a NU Masters degree.  He has his head
screwed on right.

His leadership and experience may be just what we need to close out games
next year and finally make it to the Dance.

Anybody who played four years for Pitino is OK in my book.  Rick is as good a coach as anyone around, so our new guy probably has great fundamentals.  And, as Mark points out, someone who has been to and played well in the Dance is a novelty in Evanston and can play the same role Tyson Chandler is now playing on the Knicks--the guy with the Ring who leads the way and sets the example on what it takes to win as a team.  This is welcome news.

Unlike Aaron, I *know* I have seen every game Swop played at UofL and I
can't think of a better addition for the Cats for next year.  He will fit
in beautifully with Carmody's schemes, both offense and equally, if not
more importantly, defense.  Swop has big game and tournament experience and
is not afraid to take the big shot when needed.  He can score, rebound,
passes well and plays tenacious defense.

As Roy said, he graduated in four years and NU was the only place he
visited.  He and his dad know the NBA is unlikely and want to take
advantage of the opportunity to get a NU Masters degree.  He has his head
screwed on right.

His leadership and experience may be just what we need to close out games
next year and finally make it to the Dance.

Mark and List Friends,

   Part of me is "...how much will a guy averaging 4 points a game playing an avg. of 13 minutes help us? ".  The other part of me understands that this guy knows what it takes to win, and he WANTED to come to NU.  That may be the biggest part of this story.  Along with 3 excellant recruits, the talent level coming in may be unprecedented in NU basketball.  Carmody is taking steps to improve our team and fill the void left by Johnny Shurna.  
   We are soooo close after this season. It seems BC got the right man at the right time.

GO CATS!!            Eric

 Looks like NU is taking advantage of the
 immediate-eligibility-for-graduate-transfers rule, but in basketball:

I'd also note that Swop was a starter for Louisville who averaged 8 points and 6 boards before he got hurt...and has started to come on strong the past couple months since he got healthy...

But also, he always had his best games like Syracuse (when they were ranked #1, UConn, Mich St...

The other important thing is he was one of the top free throw shooters in the Big East...and I think he'll be able to get to the line a lot in our offense..

The other part of me understands that this guy knows what it takes to win, and he WANTED to come to NU.  That may be the biggest part of this story.  Along with 3 excellant recruits, the talent level coming in may be unprecedented in NU basketball.  Carmody is taking steps to improve our team and fill the void left by Johnny Shurna.

Roy,

With all due respect, there has been nothing to debunk the contentions of sexual abuse from the two original accusers.  Neither Bernie Fine nor anyone who supports him has said one thing that challenges any of their many specific claims.  In addition, the county prosecutor said he believes them to be credible, but that the statute of limitations has passed.  The prosecutor did NOT say that about the guy who now calls himself a liar - - that is the guy quoted in the article at the link you sent.

So before anyone concludes that Mr. Fine deserves his reputation back, it is worth a deeper look at everything, including the reporting of my colleagues at ESPN who worked on this (one of whom has a daughter at NU), the reporting of the Syracuse paper, the statements of the prosecutor, etc.

Thanks & best wishes,
Willie

Roy, no slam intended here but it took me a minute to figure out what game you were talking about because I have never heard or seen North Carolina referred to as NCU.  It is UNC. Just as we want our references to be correctly NU so should we try to do for others (except UNL, sorry, Mike).

Subject: [NU Sports] Nebraska spring game postponed
Message-ID: <20120414191142.9C7F6654C1@romaine.tssi.com>

Nebraska had to postpone its spring game due to weather issues, there 
was a thunderstorm in Lincoln just ahead of game time and more severe 
storms are expected later this afternoon.

Tom Osborne, the Nebraska AD, told the fans in attendance that the
concession stands would be free, since otherwise they'd have to
throw the food out anyway.  The concessionaires can't be happy
about that. 

There's a possibility the game might be rescheduled for tomorrow, but
there are a number of logistical issues to clear up and it may require
approval from the NCAA, too.  Thousands of fans come in from out of
town for the Red-White game, most of them will probably go home 
disappointed.

Purdue and Indiana both moved their spring scrimmages indoors, also
due to weather issues.

I watched the Northwestern spring game on Btn2go on my laptop, the 
picture quality was excellent.  I agree that Kain didn't have a good
day, should make things interesting at Camp Kenosha in August.

Eric, also remember he was often the second player, and first front court player off the bench for a Final Four
team and played major minutes as a freshman on an Elite Eight team.  The kid can play but more importantly
He has the experience and has been tournament tested.  I know he will be a leader in the locker room and
Will be able to help the team see what they have to do if they want to finally make the tournament.

The other part of me understands that this guy knows what it takes to win, and he WANTED to come to NU.  That may be the biggest part of this story.  Along with 3 excellant recruits, the talent level coming in may be unprecedented in NU basketball.  Carmody is taking steps to improve our team and fill the void left by Johnny Shurna.

Nebraska had to postpone its spring game due to weather issues, there 
was a thunderstorm in Lincoln just ahead of game time and more severe 
storms are expected later this afternoon.

Tom Osborne, the Nebraska AD, told the fans in attendance that the
concession stands would be free, since otherwise they'd have to
throw the food out anyway.  The concessionaires can't be happy
about that. 

There's a possibility the game might be rescheduled for tomorrow, but
there are a number of logistical issues to clear up and it may require
approval from the NCAA, too.  Thousands of fans come in from out of
town for the Red-White game, most of them will probably go home 
disappointed.

Purdue and Indiana both moved their spring scrimmages indoors, also
due to weather issues.

It was probably the biggest crowd I've seen for an NU spring game...the efforts to make it a better experience continue to pay off. Best moment was Carter's INT and the ensuing mass celebration by the entire D squad.

More later.

Did Amonte-Hiller use her 2nd string more of the game? Or maybe Women's Lacrosse is just
that explosive this year.

The Cats definitely used a deeper bench in this game, with some players getting in early who I don't think saw the field at all on Friday night. I'm sure Kelly was trying to offset the fatigue factor. I actually thought they might struggle early, coming off a very hard-fought game against an elite opponent, but the reverse was true: they were incredibly sharp early on, winning all the draws and scoring at will with precision passing and shooting. It was later that they seemed to run out of steam a bit. I'm sure fatigue kicked in at some point. The fact that KAH used the deep bench right from the start probably paid off late in the game.?

The tide turned when JH started winning all the draws, largely on contested ground balls. Fatigue? Lack of effort and focus? Hard to say, but the Cats were definitely outplayed for a while there.?At least a couple of the goals came on fast break situations off scrambles for the draw, but in general our D did not play well during JH's run. They were scoring much too easily, and had a fairly incredible shooting percentage (12 goals on only 19 shots).?

The interesting strategic move came when Amonte-Hiller put Harrington in to face guard Hopkins' best play-maker, Taylor D'Amore. Although D'Amore only had 1 goal and 1 assist prior to that point, Harrington's ability to take D'Amore completely out of the offense really seemed to really disrupt their flow. I believe Harrington came in when it was 11-11, and Hopkins didn't score again until very late. The fact that the Cats started winning draws again was a big factor, but Harrington clearly made a difference--this on the heels of her lock-down performance against UNC's Zimmerman on Friday.?

I think the upshot is that JH is a good team (they beat the Cats last year), particularly on offense, and the Cats probably weren't at their best after the big night against UNC. But the Cats came through in the end, and the undefeated season rolls on. Big game against Florida next Saturday.?

FYI, I think the Hopkins game is being replayed on BTN this week--Tuesday maybe?

Confirms what I thought.

NU had trouble with draw controls in the first half against UNC also. But they came out in
the 2nd half with some adjustments, and dominated that part of the game in the 2nd half.

Using more subs early might make it seem like they "ran out of gas" during the end of the
half but Amonte-Hiller is some kind of Lacrosse Guru - almost everything she does
eventually works to the Cats' advantage.

With all these games at the end of the season at home, does that mean they'll be on the
road at the end next year? I wonder.

If you haven't watched Alviti's highlight reel, check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4InLxDUm4_8&feature=player_embedded


I'm not usually one to even watch these high-school highlight reels, partly because I don't follow HS football enough to understand the level of competition, and partly because they are "highlight" reels, not "balanced overview of entire season" reels, but Matt's sure seems impressive. My favorite moment is about a minute in, where he ends up going upfield as a lead blocker. He completely outruns his own running back and then pancakes a defender 30 yards downfield. With signings like this on top of the 2012 class, you get the feeling that we've really turned a bit of a corner in terms of the ability to recruit elite HS players.?

As for the Spring Game, not much to say given that everyone could see it for themselves on BTN.?

I know some folks on the rivals board were down on Colter's performance (and on his passing abilities in general), but I still expect huge things from him this year.?I haven't watched the broadcast yet, but as far as I could tell, Kain was mostly playing against the 1s, while I believe?Siemian was mostly running against the 2s, so that was a factor.?Oliver looks like a talented guy who probably isn't ready yet.?

On Saturday at least, I'd say the top DL significantly outplayed the top OL. Given that both areas were something of a weakness last year, I'm not sure how much of that is good news about the DL or bad news about the OL. I suspect a mix of both, but if I had to guess, I think the DL will be significantly better than last year, while the OL performance will depend on how well those guys learn to play together over time.?

The running game is still a question mark. Will Trumpy be the starter? How much of a role will Malin Jones play? Jordan Perkins looked good, we've seen some good things from Green, and Venric Mark will make some plays--I actually would be interested in seeing him get a lot of reps in that role. But will the OL open holes??

As for the DBs, I'm guardedly optimistic, as Dugar looked decent, and VanHoose may turn out to be very good. Neither they or there backups are very tall, so we're probably still going to see some downfield completions to tall receivers even when our guys have good coverage. Such is life. But I'm hopeful we won't see guys running around completely uncovered like we did last year.?

As for the receivers, Kyle Prater immediately jumps out at you as being much taller and rangier than any receiver we've had in a long time, and seems to have great hands. And we appear to be absolutely loaded at this position. We know about Fields, Lawrence, and Christian and Tony Jones, but Youngblod-Airy, Dickerson, and Jensen all looked great. And if Prater is eligible and is as good as advertised, things could get very interesting.?

I'm not sure how they handle the scheduling, but I suspect there's more flexibility to move things around year-to-year than in some other sports.?

This year's home schedule laid out really well. I believe there were three more home games than last year, and this late-season five-game home stand really set up nicely, with top-flight opponents, a couple of night games, and good weekend slots.?

Weird how Olah still hasn't signed, and is now in the second signing period
he could have done so. He committed over a year ago. Everyone has continued
to say "don't worry", but it is strange how after a year there are still
details that reportedly need to be worked out with family in Romania.

I watched the first half - it almost looked like a collapsing basketball zone in front of
the net. Every time we got the ball out in front, there were two and a goalie from the
other side in the way. 

The Fla team is now in a position to win the ALC regular season... unless someone else
trips them up.

Small conference - wonder when the Big 10 has enough teams to have their own tournament?

 

Sets up another tournament like last year where the Cats lost during the season and won
the ALC tournament..

 

I won't wear my purple striped shirt for the next game.

The worst part of the loss is the ALC tourney is at Florida and now UF will have both the number one seed and home field.  Winning the ALC tourney is important to regaining a number one seed for the NCAA tournament, and the home field that goes with it.

They obviously were playing for something yesterday. Now NU has to return the favor, if we
wind up in the final.

They did almost shut them down in the 2nd half Saturday, but the Cats have to figure out
how to score against that collapsing defense in the middle.

I somewhat reminded me of the title game with Maryland, where they just rolled us up for
the Title two years ago. But AH figured out how to out quick them and last year's game
against MD was nothing like the previous year.

We need the same kind of games played in the ALC tourney - but that is stating the
obvious.

The worst part of the loss is the ALC tourney is at Florida and now UF will have both the
number one seed and home field.  Winning the ALC tourney is important to regaining a
number one seed for the NCAA tournament, and the home field that goes with it.

Everyone,

Northwestern grad Jake Herbert made the 2012 U.S. Olympic wrestling team
tonight in the 84-kilo (185-pound) class.

BTW Cael Sanderson elected not to wrestle at the Trials.

If you want to read about Jake, here's my story from a few months back:

The trials will be on NBC Sports Network (151 on DishNetwork) Monday, 2:00pm Central. He had to go all three rounds after dropping the 3rd period of the first round but came back strong. Great win.

One hell of an accomplishment and one hell of a nice guy. 

This is huge for NU mats because it proves you can come to NU and wrestle on the highest level -- you don't have to go to Iowa or Oklahoma State to do so. 

NU took ninth at NCAAs this season and I think they are well-placed to move on up. I'd think wrestling is the top men's sport at NU now. Maybe basketball could take lessons.

I think the 2012 Chicago Cubs have an opportunity to beat the 1962 NY Mets'
record for worst season in MLB history. In my long-suffering history as a
Cubs fan, this may be the most inept squad I have ever seen, even more so
than the mid-70s teams where Larry (Two I's) Biitner was their best player.
For crying out loud, they even have a leadoff man named DeJesus again in
homage to those pathetic 70s teams.

You're right, they'll probably go 41-121 just to screw that up as well.

Heck, we are only a few weeks into the season and the crying towels are out for the Cubs?

What about the Red Sox?

They are certainly doing a great job making Epstien look like he was the key component in their winning formula. 

Biggest disappointment for me so far is the LA Angels. They spent $154M to trail Texas by 7 games after three weeks of play.

Biggest surprise are my beloved Sox (the white ones). They've got great starting pitching. Bullpen has been lights out. Dunn has returned to his old form. He, Konerko, and Pierzynski are in the AL top 10 in average and RBI total. Rios is on a ten game hitting streak.  Defense has been better than expected  And their #5 starter just pitched a perfect game. 

Looks like they have what it takes to give Detroit a run for their money. Should be a fun season at least on the South Side of town.

That 1962 win by the Mets, when they were 0-9 and the Pirates were 10-0, is apparently one of only two wins in MLB history (the other was in 1918) by a team 0-9 or worse against a team 9-0 or better.  And, also according to the Mets' announcers, it hasn't happened in any of the other major team sports.

Only fitting that an NU Wildcat got that type of underdog win!

The boxscore is @ http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PIT/PIT196204230.shtml.

By the way, the Humber perfect game yesterday for the Chisox brought back a memory of a controversial near-perfect game for the Cubs nearly 40 years ago.  I had the chance to write about it in 2007:

Hope you enjoy it.

Best,
Willie

*Heck, we are only a few weeks into the season and the crying towels are
out for the Cubs? *

I actually had been telling my friends before the season even started that
I thought this would be the worst Cubs team of my lifetime. So far,
unfortunately, they have been even worse than I imagined.

They did just trade their lone All-Star of last year, Marlon Byrd, who was
making (for MLB) a relatively reasonable $6.5 million per year, to the Red
Sox for a new janitor and a dozen gross of slightly-used baseballs -- and
even with that robbery they are on the hook for paying a significant chunk
of his salary this year. And they didn't even do it to promote their star
outfielder of the future, Brett Jackson, who hails from my little town of
Orinda, CA (where his proud papa can often be found spinning tales of
professional baseball at the local Starbucks). Latest news is the Cubs want
to give Jackson "plenty of time" to develop, so their
starting center-fielder for now will be determined by a lottery of ticket
holders each day just before the Star-Spangled Banner. First prize will be
50% off a Dominos pizza of lesser or equal value; 2nd prize will start in
center and bat sixth.

I'm still waiting to see the genius of Epstein. Perhaps his ideas don't
work as well west of Beantown.

I recorded the spring practice game and only recently got around to watching 
it.

THINGS THAT SHOULD MAKE US HAPPY

1. The wide receivers, especially if Prater can play.  That unit could keep 
defensive coordinators up at night.  Watch out for Pierre Youngblood-Ary.
2. Our 2nd and 3rd string quarterbacks both threw the ball very well.  I 
like Trevor Siemian.
3. The defensive line.  Brian Arnfelt must have worked summers at IHop 
because he was pancaking offensive linemen.  Tyler Scott was making a 
nuisance of himself in the offensive backfield.

THINGS THAT SHOULD CONCERN US
1. Kain Colter played like he was third on the depth chart and it obviously 
frustrated him.  He has the best legs among our quarterbacks but the weakest 
arm.
2. Our running backs played like they're all third on the depth chart.  (But 
see number 3 below.)
3. Our offensive line were overmatched.  Was that because the defensive line 
has greatly improved, or is the offensive line that bad?
4. Kicking game.  We missed two chipshot field goals.

Long way to go until Syracuse but lots of work to do in the meantime.

I agree with most of your assessment of the spring game (which was really a
controlled practice session with live tackling).  Some further comments:

1. I agree that WRs will be solid, and deep too.  Cameron Dickerson looks
solid as well.  NU will be set even if Prater doesn't get the NCAA waiver.
2. Siemian does indeed look good passing, particularly on the deeper
throws.  He may not move as well, but he did throw the ball well on the run
a couple times and had a nice designed run thrown in.
3. DL looked good, but not sure if that was just due to the constraints of
the game (can't hit QB and therefore fewer QB/option runs).

1. Colter did not look good on the longer throws, basically replicating
what we saw out of him last year (particularly vs Army).  Some of this
likely due to aforementioned constraints of the game (he couldn't establish
himself on the ground) but it's also becoming clear that if NU wants to
continue to throw the ball at a good clip (all indications are that they'll
keep doing so) Siemian will be in the mix as the main passer.
2. It's because you mostly saw third string RBs out there.  Trumpy will be
the primary RB and he's still coming back from his ACL tear (he just
started running again this week).  The lower strings, including freshmen &
converts from other positions got a lot of carries in the spring game.
Though there aren't any all-conference caliber guys on the roster right
now, it's not as bad as it looked in the spring game.
3. I agree that the OL looked overmatched despite yet again having some
highly touted and physically large guys.  Like I called for at the end of
the season, I think they need a better OL coach, as the unit has failed
pretty consistently since Cushing took over for Ingalls (looking at
opponent pressure and sack numbers along with rushing average).  I think
this is an often overlooked component of the lacking run game.
4. Kicking: the misses were by Flaherty (backup) and third string walk-on,
I wouldn't read too much into this.  But they need to build more confidence
in Budzien who had very few FG attempts last season and hasn't been able to
get in a groove (note that he hasn't missed an XP in his NU career).

Also, no injuries in the spring game - probably most important thing.

He's tall.  That's for sure.  Good remains to be seen, but let's hope he is. 
The last seven-footer Carmody recruited was the worst Division 1 college

Maybe the big guys with roundball skills don't see the need to excel in the classroom?

Last time we had a big man from Indiana, he played tight end also - remember Trai Essex?
Anchored one of the football team's intramural basketball team for 4 years while he was
learning to become a pro lineman.

Message-ID: <20120425163346.414DB615C6@romaine.tssi.com>

ESPN is citing sources from the FBS meetings this week that a four-team playoffs system is 
a near certainty, starting with the 2014 season.  

Several proposals may emerge from this week's meetings, including having two semi-final games 
on New Year's Day with the national championship game about a week later.  

These are still being referred to as 'neutral site' games, though that's quite debatable
for schools not located in California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana or Florida.

It looks like the Big Ten's proposal for the higher ranked team to host the semi-final games
is pretty much dead in the water.  However, the Big Ten is apparently still fighting for
the Rose Bowl as a Big Ten - Pac 10 matchup, which could knock it out of the rotation for
the semi-final games.  (Presumably that would also mean that if either the Big Ten or the Pac 10 
champions qualified for the playoffs the Rose Bowl would have to pick another team from that conference.)

However, the Rose Bowl could still bid for the right to host the National Championship game, which 
would be bid out, like the Super Bowl is.  

Similarly dead, the proposal that a school must win its conference championship to be eligible
for the playoffs.  ('Bama winning the NC with a shutout pretty much killed that one!)

Yahoo Sports had this very interesting article by Dan Wetzel.  It may explain why there is now a plan for a championship:

Does anybody on here know - how was Northwestern treated by its most recent bowls ?  I enjoyed Tampa, Dallas and Houston immensely - I only hope that the Athletic department was treated well also.

That was indeed an interesting article, thanks for sharing Chuck.

It's hard to understand why the NCAA couldn't simply ditch the existing
bowl system in favor of holding the major bowls in a variety of locations.
 The teams will undoubtedly get better terms if they open the hosting role
to competition, like the basketball tournament does.  With the exception of
the Rose Bowl, I feel no sentimental attachment whatsoever to any of the
other bowls or their locations.  It's nice to see this system is finally
getting the scrutiny it deserves.  Plus, it would be nice to see Pac-10 and
SEC fans travel north for bowl games (say, Detroit or Indianapolis) once in
a while.

A Chicago sports station just did an interview with the Boise St radio guy, in which he revealed that new Bear Shea McLellin was actually a 'gray shirt' recruit.  Does anybody know, is this 'gray shirting' an Idaho thing, or is it more common ?  I had never heard it mentioned before.

It's actually most common in the SEC (due to chronic oversigning: signing
more recruits to letters of intent than scholarships available).  Gray
shirting is basically telling a recruit to come and enroll in the school
for a year without playing on the football team, at which point a
scholarship may become available for them to join.  Usually, academic
issues are involved and that year is used to become academically eligible.
By not walking on the football team right away, it allows them to maintain
their full eligibility time.

Another technique, which was used a couple of times by Randy Walker, is to have the kid
delay his enrollment in the school until the next January after they graduate. The idea is
that an additional scholarship might open up after the upcoming season is over due to drop
out or injury.

I couldn't tell you a name, but there was a kid from Wisconsin who didn't go "preferred
walk-on" and was going to delay enrolling. To be honest, I don't remember if this kid ever
came to NU.

Every year there is some kid who makes a stink in their local paper over being offered,
then having the offer pulled at the last minute, and yes it happens down in the SEC a lot.

One reason RW required his kids to commit directly to him, preferably in person, and then
expected those kids to sign on signing day. He didn't miss many. That handshake was a big
deal to RW.

I think that worked better for him at Miami of Ohio than it did at Northwestern.
How many 4 and 5 star recruits did he bring to Evanston that way?

I do agree that a handshake with the head coach MIGHT make a kid more likely to stick 
with his decision, but the NCAA's recruiting calendar doesn't always make that possible.
Would I prefer it if a recruit gave the media his decision during a 'quiet period' rather than
wait for the next opportunity for a face-to-face contact with the head coach?  Yup!

Grey shirting is most often associated with asking the recruit to enroll in
January rather than in August/September under the assumption that a
scholarship will open up or that the recruit will make up his academic
deficiencies in the three months before enrolling.  If all goes according
to plan, he picks up his scholly in January and is counted in the class of
the incoming recruits not his high school graduating class.  The SEC and
Big 12 are known to make good use of the practice.  The Big East uses it to
some extent although most of the schools who were able to use it are gone
now.

I will ask our panel of experts, since somebody here always seems to know the answer.  According to the NCAA Womens Lacrosse website,(http://www.ncaa.com/championships/lacrosse-women/d1) we are ranked #1 in RPI, #1 in the Media poll, and #1 in the Coaches poll.  When will the championship brackets be filled in ?  Any more up-to-date source of tournament information ?

First up for NU is the ALC tournament this weekend in Florida. Cats get a bye in the first round, then play Friday at 3:30CT. The championship game is on Saturday. The most likely scenario would have the Cats playing Florida in that game, but I don't think any of the games are gimmes.?The ACC tournament is done, but I would assume there are other conference tournaments going on this weekend.?

So, final NCAA seedings and games won't be announced until after those games are complete--I'm guessing they'll be posted Sunday.?

If the Cats win the ALC tournament, I'd be stunned if they weren't the #1 seed, but then NU has been underseeded in the past.?

If they don't win the ALC tourney, I think they still should have a good shot at being #1, but I suppose they could drop to 2 or 3. Almost certain to get a first-round home game, and a second-round home game if the win that. Dates for the tournament rounds are here:

Speaking of WLAX, I put together a post on some basic LAX rules for LakeThePosts.com--it's up now, along with some interesting discussion:

A couple of conferences had their tournaments this past weekend.  The ALC and others have theirs this coming weekend with the NCAA bracket to be announced next Sunday night at 9:00pm eastern time, although I'm not sure where you can watch it.  ESPNU and ESPN3 will be busy broadcasting the men's selection show. While some early rounds of the women's tourney may be on either ESPNU or ESPN3, the selection show is not and I haven't found it yet. 

You didn't ask but in case anybody wants to get their travel plans in order, the final four will be held at Stony Brook on May 25 and 27.  Early rounds should be in Evanston as even if the Cats don't win the ALC tourney(shudder), with a number one ranking in all polls going into the weekend, the Cats should be seeded high enough to have home field for all rounds of the tournament before the final four.
