Must be upon us. Religious wackos look for signs like plagues, pestilence, floods, Satan, that sort of crap.
Me? I look for the more prosaic but definitely more important signs. And all signs point to the Big End.
First, the Wildcats lost to Syracuse. Syracuse? Otto the Orange? What the Hell?
Second, in this losing effort, Mike "Demon Spawn" Kafka set a school record for consecutive completions and threw for 390 yards. What the Hell?
Lastly, Pax Americana and the greatest empire since Byzantium has come to an end with the tire tiff. Yes, that tire tiff where the US has imposed import tariffs on automobile tires produced in China. Whereupon the Chinese threatened retaliatory tariffs on imports of American....chicken feet! Yes, Chicken Feet. You know, those things upon which chickens walk? Apparently this is the ONLY DAMN THING this country produces of value. Chicken Feet. What the Hell?

A win is a win...
To quote noted football prognosticator Clay Nurse of the Fighting Illini, "A win is a win". Yes indeedy and the Cats advanced to 2-0 by sneaking by the Eagles of EMU 27-24. The day was saved by Stefan Demos who nailed a monster 49-yard FG as the clock wound down; this was only Demos third career field goal and a clutch effort.
Let's take a quick look at how things are stacking up for the Cats. Looking back, the Cats pummelled Towson in the season opener. But Towson improved in week #2, avoiding another loss by having a bye week. They will face Coastal Carolina next week, who trashed Monmouth this week. Learn anything from that? Yea, if you didn't already know it, Towson was a cupcake that plays other cupcakes and we learned nothing from the Towson game other than we can beat a cupcake.
Eastern Michigan is now 0-2. In their season opener, they were beaten by Army 27-14. And Army in week #2? Crushed by Duke. Deep analysis? EMU is as much of a cupcake as Towson, thus NU's a-win-is-a-win over EMU is not promising.
Next up for the Cats is Syracuse. In week #1, Syracuse almost took down the Golden Gophers, and in week #2, they looked pretty good considering they were totally over-matched by a loaded Penn State squad. If the Cats go to Syracuse and play flat, it will not be a good result.
