Oh, Northwestern, why are you the way that you are?
You never want to play Northwestern. You never feel better after a Northwestern game. The best you can ever hope for is to just play as well as possible, don't get injured, cover whatever stupid spread there is, and go home.
The absolute best outcome from a Northwestern game is that you never have to speak of it ever again. You don't want to remember a Northwestern game, because that probably meant something went horribly wrong.
