Say Josh, tell me whether...
...the weather is going to cooperate in Evanston tomorrow?
It looks a little rainy, but not very cold. Not the worst football weather ever, for sure.
...the rain could impact the game?
I think it could keep the game closer if both offenses get bogged down. Probably, difficult conditions favor the more experienced, deeper team. NU should have more options and make use of them. The Cats benefit, comparatively, in bad weather.
...high school band day could impact the game?
More than you might expect. The SIU band is also performing (I think) which should rile up the Saluki-faithful. It will probably be our highest-attended non-conference game, and a fairly raucous affair if the game stays close.
...there are any other noteworthy Big Ten games this weekend?
Well, Iowa-ISU is sometimes entertaining, Purdue-Oregon and Wisconsin-Fresno State should be of national note. There's also Michigan-Notre Dame, but that hardly qualifies these days. Oh, and OSU is playing some "directional" school from California.
...you're going to pick NU to go 3-0?
Historically, it's kind of hard to do that, but it's also hard to not pick the Cats over any FCS school. With no betting line on this game, my (for entertainment purposes only) pick for an NU win. Northwestern 35, SIU 13.
Let's go Cats!

Are you referring to USC? The University of "Southern" California?

That's the one. I envision them as the west coast equivalent of Western Michigan. Am I close?
