Sometime on Saturday afternoon, Northwestern lost a football game to the Southern Illinois Salukis. I did not know this happened. I spent the day oblivious to the ominous things happening just up the Lake Michigan coast as the 0-2 Football Championship Subdivision SIU Salukis were painstakingly taking apart Northwestern in their home stadium in front of what I can presume were several Northwestern fans. I taped the game, intending to watch it that night, but instead I checked the score and there it was: SIU 31, Northwestern 24. I have not watched a single second of this game.
This is not the type of blog where I pretend to be a Football Person who analyzes the All 22 and tells you about blocking schemes and look at that guy fire off the line of scrimmage there, see he's just using the classic claimjumper's squat there with his outside leverage.
