West Lot Pirates ·

2019/08/21

The 2019 West Lot Pirates Summer Previews are here! We dive into the Northwestern schedule and highlight the Cats' opponents. Minnesota has been frisky under PJ Fleck, but will their injury concerns impede their ascent to the top of the west?

West Lot Pirates ·

2019/08/12

The 2019 West Lot Pirates Summer Previews are here! We dive into the Northwestern schedule and highlight the Cats' opponents. Indiana is an interesting team to look at.

West Lot Pirates ·

2019/08/07

The 2019 West Lot Pirates Summer Previews are here! We dive into the Northwestern schedule and highlight the Cats' opponents. Ohio State comes into the season as 2x defending B1G champs (as we all know from last season). There is a lot of turnover both in the roster and the coaching staff. While there is no doubting the potential of the talent in Columbus, is there any reason to think there might be some cracks in their shells?

2019 Summer Previews: UNLV

West Lot Pirates ·

2019/07/24

After a Bye Week, Northwestern comes home for their opener against UNLV. If you follow the Cats at all, this game should terrify you. On paper, UNLV is a middle-bottom tier Mountain West team, but as we all know, you can never take teams like that lightly.
