Here comes Sparty

though there is nothing in this article to suggest things will go well against MSU on Saturday, this passage is especially dismal:

Though Northwestern had some success in non-conference play, its recent history against Big Ten rivals is dismal. The Wildcats are 3-32 in conference action since the beginning of the 2006-07 season. They've lost 11 straight Big Ten games at home since beating Penn State 53-51 on Feb. 10, 2007.

really makes you wonder if we'll ever get to see the efficient offense that Carmody used in leading Princeton to a top-10 ranking ten years ago. hard to believe this is the same coach.
