Really cool news here for the Northwestern Marching Band, which will apparently perform at Soldie Field during halftime of the Bears vs. Patriots game on Thursday! Congrats to NUMB!

How do you feel about Northwestern's uniforms against Michigan State not having any purple as the main color? I think black-white-black works for a night game on the road, but for an 11am game at Michigan State, I think the 'Cats absolutely should've gone with a purple helmet and purple pants.

Northwestern received 59 votes in this week's AP Poll, good for the 30th most. Are you surprised that the 'Cats were not ranked?

Here's what the rankings look like:

Did this really happen before the Buffaloes lost 41-7? 

He was a winner during his time at Northwestern. 

Never too early to start recruiting.

Northwestern's Week 3 home game vs. Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes is officially SOLD OUT, the Wildcats' athletic department says.

Who's going? Do you think the 'Cats can take down the Buffaloes?

It never gets old seeing the Wildcats unveil a new National Championship banner. Between field hockey, women's lacrosse and women's golf, Northwestern has had to update its banners often lately!

Brutal... FCS Northwestern State was mixed up with the Big Ten's Northwestern Wildcats on Yahoo Sports. I feel like anybody should know the difference. Those uniforms should give it away too!
