Dad Rob was the anchor of that OL. Son Brady will be even better!

TE commit Brady Johnson on his Northwestern official visit.

Ohio State offered Johnson last month, so this seems to reaffirm his commitment to the Wildcats. His father, Rob Johnson, was the center and a captain for NU’s Rose Bowl team.

The NCAA women's lacrosse title game, where Northwestern defeated UNC 14-11, was the most-watched women's lacrosse game ever on record, ESPN confirmed to me.

It averaged 470,000 views on ESPN Sunday — surpassing the 2022 UNC-BC title game that drew a 428k average.

BREAKING: Former Penn point guard Dylan Williams is transferring to Northwestern, he confirmed to me.

The former JUCO product graduated from Penn two weeks ago and is now headed to the Big Ten with one year left of eligibility.

The image depicts Katherine Cathey, the pregnant widow of U.S. Marine 2nd Lt. James “Jim” Cathey, lying on an air mattress on the floor in front of her husband’s flag-draped casket the night before his burial. A Marine honor guard stands vigil in the background.

Jim Cathey was tragically killed in action in Iraq in August 2005. Overcome with grief, Katherine refused to leave her husband’s casket. She requested to spend one final night with him. Two Marines went to great lengths to provide her with a makeshift bed, using a mattress and pillows on the floor. One Marine stood guard over her and the casket throughout the night.

This powerful and Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph was captured by Todd Heisler in 2005 as part of his series “Jim Comes Home” for the Rocky Mountain News.

It was a distinct pleasure to witness in person (along with my son and grandson) this amazing group of women achieve the ultimate reward for their hard work. I will never forget our 3 generations of Wildcats experiencing this together. An absolutely memorable day! Thanks @NULax
