FWIW, while I root for Northwestern, I do so with no expectation of actually winning this or any other game. I learned that from my time as a fan in the dark era before 1995. This way, I find myself often pleasantly surprised by NU games, and rarely disappointed.

That said, I really, really want them to beat Missouri. I hope they read Malcolm Gladwell's most recent piece in the New Yorker.

Robert, as much as I'd like you to get your wish of beating Mizzou - as a fan of TPI that currently works for Mizzou - I'm going to have to hope that Chase Daniels has an excellent showing to end his collegiate career. And that would be hard to do without defeating the Wildcats.

BTW, thank you (and James Rao) for adding Worlds of Fun to the site. It really is a great little park that just keeps improving.

I must say:

I-L-L
I-N-I

Sorry Robert, as a U of I alum, the NU Wildcats are our sworn state enemy! LOL

Of course Illinois is playing in the toliet bowl this year.......Go NU!
