NU Wildcats Fan in LA

Northwestern alum and sports fan in LA. You know, THAT guy.

@MorseCode206 @NUMensBball Yeah trying to figure out if we’re Session 1 or 2

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

Are we Session 1 or Session 2 in Brooklyn??

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@WildcatReport The thing that separates athletes from you and me is that Boo probably isn’t thinking about B1G PotY award at all. He’s thinking about the tourneys ahead and how he can get better every time he’s on the court. That’s what they do. We normal humans just stew in our missed chances.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@theficouple Simple. The top cities people are leaving are the ones with the most highly educated, highly skilled workers in dynamic but competitive industries. If you’re not good enough, you won’t get hired/paid and you can’t afford to live there. People leave cuz they can’t hack it.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@RevDJEsq Or maybe he realizes his actual weak coaching skills will become way apparent at a school with an athletic dept and fanbase that won’t coddle him and excuse his poor attitude.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@TheBigC_30 lol Why do you even care?

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

I can’t help but think… how PISSED do you think Fitz is to see Braun not only succeed on the field but also capture the hearts of all the players, fans and alumni? 😅

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@insidenu Ugh I guess no one is perfect haha

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

I don’t even want Braun as HC at this point… I want him as AD. First #removethetag then #fireGragg then #hireBraunforNUAD

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@RevDJEsq I’m also of the opinion that college sports is just another corrupt arm of American capitalism in which the youth of America is just used and abused and then thrown away by the very society they are told to work hard to earn a place in. It all needs to go.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@RevDJEsq There’s more to life than college sports… and if you claim to be an ACADEMIC institution and it turns out there are numerous people who you are essentially sponsoring to attend your place of learning that don’t feel safe there… that’s criminal. Immoral. Doesn’t deserve to exist

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

Only one way to end this - suspend all NU athletics (obviously still honor all athletics scholarships but don’t offer any new ones in any sports) and then tear it all down. Perhaps it’s time to leave D1 if we can’t be trusted to run responsible programs.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

The one thing I can tell you is that this whole story has poisoned my perception of NU athletics for a long long time. I have a 5 year old son I was excited to bring into my NU fandom… now I think he’ll just have to discover it himself. A generation of fans prob gone now.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@AlHollywood1 I don’t think he’s ever leaving the program, but I think his days as HC are numbered. You might be right, though, that may not happen until after the new stadium is done…

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

Looks like we’ve been shown what we all suspected - the program is broken and Fitz is partially responsible for it. Time for someone else to come in and pick up the pieces. Get ready for a looooong, unfun era of NU football.

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@RevDJEsq @epnohelty @conorsen To argue that no one will want to live in Oakland because there’s nothing to do now that the teams are gone is absurd. Are you telling me people are clamoring to move to, say, Cleveland because all of its home town teams ensure there’s always something to do? Lol

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@dan_olinger Yeah I’m bummed for students… the alumni contingent will be sizable though due to CA-based alumni

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@insidenu Is that session 1 or 2??

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

Can anyone confirm if we’re session 1 or 2 in Sacramento??

[NU Wildcats Fan in LA @NUwildcatsLA]

@RevDJEsq Agreed. SLC was a top two all time sports experience of mine. Luckily this is a 45 min flight from LA!
