It was a day of good news / bad news for Northwestern. We happily stormed the field following the big win over Iowa on Saturday, as it was the first big win for the team all year. It was an anxiety-inducing game, as NU had to come back in the closing minutes. It was our second time on the field, as we also went down to celebrate following the win over Ohio State in 2004. That one was a big upset - this one was not. We have owned Iowa in recent years, so despite the ranking it did not feel like an earth-shattering win. We were also safer this time, choosing to walk down the stairs instead of jumping over the railing. Given their inability to win big games of late, I am quite proud of the team, and especially their quarterback - Dan Persa.
The downside was hearing, upon returning to the car, that our star QB will be out for the year with a ruptured achilles. Sad.
But more good news - ESPN Gameday is on its way to Chicago. The Saturday morning college football preview show will broadcast from outside Wrigley Field. This will be huge marketing for NU. Of course, the bad news is that I had scheduled my first bowling team practice for Saturday at 9am - the same time as the TV program. I think this is more important. Sorry girls, practice is moved. Coach is going to Wrigleyville!
