Jimmy Maley

We are excited to introduce a new section of the blog, highighting the glorious careers of some of our recent recruits.  To that end:

Jimmy Maley's NU career was so bright and blinding most people  never layed eyes on it.  A tadpole of a Freshman, Maley averaged 4.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 20 minutes per game. He played in 21 of theCats' 24 games in the 02-03 season before he suddenly quit.  Why did he quit the team?  He lost passion for the game.  I guess a half-season in Evanston can do that even to the best.

We have included the only picture of Jimmy that google image search returns.  You would think there would be at least one action shot in there, but I guess people didn't realize they would only have such a short time to get a photo.

Welcome to the fight

Welcome to the site.  We intend this to be ground zero for the grassroots effort to bring Coach Bobby Knight in as the new coach of the Northwestern Wildcats.  As longtime fans (and alumni) Kevin and I have seen the highs (Jitim's buzzer beater to beat Penn State) and the lows (pretty much every other moment). 

We figure the only chance for this program to turn things around is to make a grand gesture.  And what is grander than bringing the most successful coach in basketball history.  It should be noted that we have not always been fans of Coach Knight, but desparate times call for desparate measures.  So please help by signing the petition.  Once we get enough sinatures we will be making the trip to campus to deliver them.
