Notre Dame to renew series with "Chicago's Big Ten team"

Northwestern continues to set themselves up for failure. They scheduled a game against Illinois at Wrigley Field last year to try and prove that they were Chicago's favorite Big Ten team. Now, we all know that they are far from Chicago's favorite Big Ten team, but just to settle it the Illini beat the Cats like they were a High School football team.

Now, Northwestern has decided to take on another team that has more fans in Chicago than they do. Notre Dame and Northwestern will renew their series and play in South Bend in 2014, a great chance for the Irish to establish NU as "Chicago's third favorite college football team." That would look good on a billboard.

The two teams will play again in 2018 so that the Cats will have 4 years in between games to recover from their 2014 beating. I have no doubt that Ryan Field in Evanston will be packed with kelly green that day, just like all other visiting teams do at Ryan Field.

NU is just asking for their ad campaign to go down hill. No, ND is not a Big Ten team, but we all know that they are NU's major competition in the city fan-wise, other than the U of I. I can't wait for NU to come into South Bend in 2014 and get embarassed just like they did to Chicago's true Big Ten team. ND football is having some of the greatest recruiting years they've had since the days of Holtz, and many people see a National Championship for the Irish in the next 5 years. NU doesn't even stand a chance.
