Week 10 Winners - Northwestern

This was the most surprising game of the day. Northwestern is terrible, and Nebraska is the best team in the country. No, really. Just ask their fans. They'll tell you all about it.

TicketCity Bowl Cheerleader Preview -- Northwestern v. Texas Tech

Northwestern has not won a bowl game since 1949. I'm willing to bet there aren't more than 3 people that look at this blog that were even alive the last time the Wildcats won a bowl game. Though I guess I could be wrong about that (let me know in the comments!). Regardless, I think this is the year they finally get this monkey off their backs. Tech is a good team, but they really aren't quite there yet (even if they did beat my Missouri Tigers). The Wildcats end the streak this year. Write it down.

Outback Bowl -- Northwestern v. Auburn

We've finally made it to the New Year's Day bowls. Though I'm still not sure why the Outback Bowl is played on New Year's Day. Speaking of Outback, does every fan get a Bloomin' Onion with their paid admission? If they don't it's a travesty!

As far as the football game goes, MEH. Neither team really jumps out at me, but I like Pat Fitzgerald and what he gets out of his team. They are never going to be pretty, but they play their butts off and smack you in the mouth from the word go. Auburn, as usual, is a complete under-achiever. I just don't understand how this team continues to be mediocre. They'll make a bowl game most years, but they just won't deliver on the promise. Gotta be frustrating for Auburn fans. But take solace, your cheerleaders are stupid hot!

Week 12 Winners -- Northwestern

This is Northwestern's 2nd appearance in the weekly winners special. First they knocked off previously undefeated Iowa. This time they get Wisconsin. Don't look now, but Pat Fitzgerald has a damn good program working up there in Evanston.

Week 10 Winners -- Northwestern

I guess Iowa really was a fraud. Of course, Northwestern had to bend over backwards and step all over each other to pull off the upset, but they got the biggest win of their season so far.
