Gone Bowling
While outraged USC fans pile on against the BCS system, some of us are astounded by some completely different news: Northwestern's in a bowl game!

Whoo-hoo! The Wildcats are off to the... Motor City Bowl. Which has a storied tradition going all the way back to... 1997.

Whooo..... hooo?

Fine. You're not impressed. Not exactly title championship stuff.

But this is still a big deal for Northwestern (6-6), which will play Bowling Green (10-3) in Detroit on Dec. 26. Throughout its history NU has only played in five bowl games -- although four of those came after 1995. The Wildcats last went bowling in 2000, when (as co-Big Ten champs) they got creamed by Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl.
