I have never felt this way about a team I support.
Before those of you who have endured decades of Northwestern football discredit my right to make such a claim, I’d like make my case for why I believe I’m entitled to one.
Although the ‘Cats have only played 20 games since I received my acceptance letter in December 2020, my fandom, my connection with the team has spanned closer to 20 years.
My dad became a season ticket holder in 1995, the year he graduated from Kellogg, and he always likes to say he did so knowing the team wasn’t going to be good every year, or even most years, but being able to see other Big Ten teams in person would make it worthwhile.
