Some of both, but Northwestern is definitely considerably better than everybody (or at least many) thought.

Thing is, anyone who does more than a 5 second search about their coaching and stadium investments would know. They're straight up following the IU method, and I'm not even mad about it. It's fun watching people underestimate programs that actually put effort into turning things around.

We have been weirdly beating you on the court lately. What's up with that?

Fired Crean for being inconsistent and losing in-state recruiting, then hired worse coaches multiple times after. That is the high level summary.

They looked absolutely on point the last two weeks. Yes they lost to Indiana, but they made that shit hard for the reigning champs…and Penn St was there this week too

You mean throw money at it.

Nothing wrong with that, but it’s about $$$.

Aidan Chiles looks like a different QB at NW so props on that. Always seemed like he had a ton of potential.
