Not excited about the NU vs Eastern Illinois game? Ball State jokes getting old? We've got your back.
I don't know about you guys, but this upcoming year for NU football probably has the best non-conference slate in recent memory. Northwestern scheduled its Pac 12 and ACC doppelgängers in Stanford and Duke. Maybe both those schools' football programs have passed NU's by, but it just makes sense. Top rated academic institutions kicking it in power conference football? A match made in heaven. Or Andersen Hall. A tip of the cap to you, Jim Phillips, or whoever is in charge of scheduling.
