Northwestern Football = Chicago Cubs

Since Northwestern hasn't won a bowl game since 1949 and the Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908, I'm thinking the futility is on par. Considering Northwestern (in it's bowl game) isn't playing the best another league has to offer, winning should be considerably easier. Yet the inability to get the monkey off their back continues year after year.

Can you imagine going 62 years without winning a bowl game in your football program. I think this monkey is so big, NW just starts peeing down their legs in pregame warm ups.

Yea
 
I think he's just in denial...so don't be too hard on him. He loves his Cats with all his might. So much that he forgets how every quasi successful season ends...with the bowl debacle and meltdown. It's a part of his memory he dare not go...it's where the monsters and ghoblins of reality are.

One day Ok4P will be able to say, "Northwestern Wildcats, Meineke Car Bowl Champions", and this may be the year. Oooh, the suspense is killing me.

Or "Northwestern Wildcats, Caesars Pizza Bowl Champions"...has a nice ring to it.
 
Can Northwestern beat the MAC champion this year in the Pizza Bowl? The game is on a Tuesday night and the MAC is used to playing football on Tuesdays.
 
Northwestern is more like the Astros. No one cares that they suck.

Cubs have more resources so that's not an apt analogy.
 
I know this is a FB thread, but, NU also has NEVER made it to the NCAA BB tourney....and that folks is fultility!
 
And for the record....

Cubs fans = ISUx fans.....always jealous and snippy about "big brother" (Cardinals and Hawks, respectively)
