GAME #29: ASTERISK

OREGON @ NORTHWESTERN*

9.13.25

OREGON - 34

NORTHWESTERN - 14

WE ALTERED OUR NORMAL APPROACH SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS GAME [THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN GO TO]. NORTHWESTERN PLAYED 2024 & 2025 IN A TEMP STADIUM RIGHT ON LAKE MICHIGAN BECAUSE THEY HAD NOWHERE TO BUILD A NEW STADIUM EXCEPT IN THE EXISTING FOOTPRINT. SO, THEY MADE AN OVERBLOWN HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM ON THE LACROSSE FIELD. IT'S AWESOME. WE'D KICK OURSELVES IF WE DIDN'T GO. TICKETS WERE ~$300, SO WE WENT HOPING FOR SOME KIND OF MIRACLE ON GETTING IN FOR A REASONABLE PRICE [FREE]. WAS AN 11AM GAME, SO THAT WISH DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY HOPE. WILL BE BACK FOR A GAME AT THE NEW STADIUM IN THE FUTURE.

EVANSTON IS GREAT. CHICAGO IS AMAZING. YOU GO THERE!

TRAVEL TIP - GIVE YOURSELF EXTRA TIME IN CHICAGO!

UP NEXT - ARKANSAS @ TEXAS!
