It's
another case of NU getting one half of the house in better shape while
the other half slides. The Wildcat offense finally looked good, turing
in a solid effort against the Hoosiers. However, NU's defense, a
workhorse up to now, wilted under IU's impressive and balanced attack,
and NU dropped its Big Ten home opener, 41-24.

Northwestern's
2024 season is the school's 139th playing football. Now, you can read about NU's very first season and how it
all began. The school's first football game was during the 1875-'76 season,
making NU the oldest existing football team of any sort in the American Midwest.
Gus Hornsby's Gamble
tells the story of Augustus Hornsby, the maverick English army officer
who formed the Chicago Foot-Ball Club and taught the game to
Northwestern students. Hornsby's story, relayed here for the first time
anywhere, is a wild ride: he was a pioneer journalist, an explorer, and
eventually a fabulously wealthy real estate tycoon. But his gambling
addiction led to financial ruin and a stunning string of crimes that
made Hornsby a nationally-hunted fugitive.
My new book
provides a new glimpse into life at Northwestern at the school's
infancy and describes its first football team in detail. It is a must
for any fan of Northwestern and NU history. Click here to learn more about the book. You can order it directly from Amazon.
"...It will always be my school, our school."
