Northwestern's third game of the season marks the start of the conference slate and with it, the defending Big Ten Champions, last season's #1 seed in the Playoff and what will no doubt be the highest ranked football team to play on the Lakefront, the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks look to reload after last year's disappointing finish at the Rose Bowl and they look fully capable of making that happen.

In today's episode, we discuss David Braun, Preston Stone, Joe Himon and Anto Saka and their trip to Vegas for Big Ten Media Days. We also discuss the Jake Retzlaff transfer to Tulane and how that may impact the Cats' week 1 matchup.

We continue our Summer Previews with a look at the three Non Conference matchups. The Cats start off heading down to New Orleans in late August to take on Tulane. The following week brings a Friday evening matchup against Western Illinois. In early October, the Cats welcome in Louisiana-Monroe to the lake for Northwestern's Homecoming game.

Our Summer Previews continue with brief looks at the other 4 Big Ten teams Northwestern does not play this year: Indiana, Washington, Michigan St. and Iowa.

Are you ready? Because we sure are! The 2025 college football season is fast approaching so it is time for us to kick off our 15th season of Northwestern Football coverage. We start as we do every year with previews of the Big Ten teams that NU will not play this season. We start off with the defending National Champs OSU, Maryland, Rutgers and Wisconsin.

The 2025 Northwestern Spring Sports calendar closed with a huge flourish this year as the Women's Golf team won their very first National Championship with some incredible golf against the very best in the nation. Lacrosse also played for the title after a massive comeback against BC in the semifinal.

We are fully into postseason mode for Lacrosse and Softball. The Lake Show continues into the NCAA Quarterfinals with a definitive win over Michigan. Now only a date with Penn stands between them and the Final Four. Softball rode the wave of a monster series win at UCLA into the NCAA Tournament where they will head to Clemson for their regional.

It's three straight Big Ten Championships for NU Lacrosse with a couple of dramatic wins over Johns Hopkins and Maryland. Now they await their matchups in the NCAA Tournament as they look to head back to the top of the mountain. We also check in with Baseball and Softball as they both come down the stretch runs of their regular seasons and position themselves for their Big Ten Tourneys.

This week we sat down with NU Lacrosse Head Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller. We're fast approaching the tail end of the regular season and the Cats are firing on all cylinders. Coming up on April 17, they look to set an all time Lacrosse attendance record at Martin Stadium in a huge matchup with Michigan. We talked with Coach Amonte Hiller about this year's team, her career and much, much more.

It's a tradition unlike any other. As the NCAA Basketball tournament tips off, we welcome back Scott Sepich for our 15th annual Bracketology analysis.
