By Eric Rynston-Lobel Over two months ago, I did something I don’t ordinarily do: write a story based more on anger and frustration than logic and reason. After Northwestern Men’s Basketball opened its season with an inexcusable 71-61 loss at home to Merrimack, a program in its first season playing Division I basketball, I along with most other Wildcats’ fans

By Eric Rynston-Lobel When Northwestern Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach Kate Popovec returned to her alma mater before the 2017-2018 season, she could feel something special brewing. It was a rebuilding year for a program that graduated four senior starters, including future WNBA player Nia Coffey. Northwestern had added a talented group of young players headlined by Lindsey Pulliam, but it

By Eric Rynston-Lobel If someone would’ve told you Aidan Smith would be the starter for Northwestern’s week 9 game against Purdue when the schedule came out last year, you probably would’ve thought something wasn’t going right. If someone would’ve told you Kyric McGowan would be the starting running back alongside Smith for that game, you probably would’ve thought there was

By Eric Rynston-Lobel The frustration wasn’t supposed to come this early. But it has.

By Eric Rynston-Lobel This time last year, Northwestern was on the cusp of its first Big Ten West title. Now, the Wildcats are on the cusp of their worst season in the 14-year head coaching career of Pat Fitzgerald. How did this happen? A team that won nine games last year brought in a five-star quarterback to take the reins

By Eric Rynston-Lobel In the 2018 season, it seemed that Northwestern could force a turnover whenever they needed one. Look no further than the 2018 Holiday Bowl, when Jared McGee returned a Utah fumble for a touchdown to trim what was once a 20-3 deficit to 20-17. In 2019, that hasn’t been the case. Although there is no single reason

By Eric Rynston-Lobel One of the main talking points after Northwestern’s 24-15 loss on Saturday at Wisconsin wasn’t how well the defense played or even how out of sync the offense looked for the third time in four games, but instead how Pat Fitzgerald went for two-point conversations twice—after the ‘Cats scored touchdowns to make it 24-9 and 24-15.
