misogyny runs so deep in every aspect in our society. would love for her to speak up and say something but just imagine the misogynistic hate train that would come from her. her own colleagues would probably join in on it too

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

I know some news about Northwestern’s Band not performing pregame has been floating around but I’m relaying a post from their alumni about contacting their Athletics Department to press them to allow the band to perform at pregame

NUMBALUMS and Friends,

By this point, many of you have seen the article released by the Daily Northwestern this afternoon announcing that there will be no NUMB pregame show at Friday’s grand opening of the new Ryan Field. Athletics has made no commitment to bring it back for any game after that.

Article: https://dailynorthwestern.com/2026/10/01/top-stories/numb-to-be-absent-from-ryan-field-on-field-opening-pregame-program-future-unclear/

The Chucks. Push On. Downfield. Block N. The tunnel. A 100-year tradition at risk, on the very weekend the stadium turns 100 in the 175th anniversary year of the University.

Obviously, this news is incredibly upsetting. Dr. Parker and Dr. Taylor have been working diligently through official channels, but to no avail.

Now it’s on us.

We are asking every NUMBALUM and supporter of the band to channel your purple pride, P&G, and frustration into action. Let’s make sure that all future games at the New Ryan Field feature a NUMB pregame!
Please email all three today:
Athletic Director Mark Jackson: athleticsdirector@northwestern.edu
President Chiang: nupresident@northwestern.edu
Savanna Wood, Athletics Director of Marketing: savanna.wood@northwestern.edu
Tell them your frustration. Tell them your disappointment. Tell them that your excitement about the new stadium has been tarnished by this upsetting news.

Does this make you reconsider your season tickets? TELL THEM.
Does this make you reconsider future donations to the university? TELL THEM.
Does this make you reconsider if Northwestern is the future school for your kids? TELL THEM.
If you’re a parent, is this not what you signed up to pay tuition for? TELL THEM.
When you go to a college football game, do you expect to see a college marching band on the field for pregame and halftime? TELL THEM.
Does it suck, for no reason other than that we care about NUMB and this 100 year old tradition and this University with all of our bleeding purple hearts? TELL THEM.

(Of course, tell them firmly but respectfully)

Our ask is simple: commit publicly to restoring on-field pregame at every home game at the new Ryan Field.

Let them know that NUMB pregame is more than a performance. It is a tradition that connects generations of Northwestern students, alumni, family and fans. It is what makes a Northwestern football Saturday (or Friday) feel like Northwestern. Ask your friends to do the same. NUMBALUM or not, affiliated with the University or not, the more voices the better.
It’s time, band. Let’s let our P&G shine. Let’s save pregame.

Go ‘Cats!
The NUMBALUMS Board

The Cornell story is horrific, but I’d like to shine a light on what happened at LSU with a current football player on the team:

In July, the school found Shanklin responsible for "forcible rape" and issued a one-year suspension, which is a full ban from campus and activities, according to documents reviewed by ESPN. After Shanklin appealed, an administrative law judge who handles appeals per LSU policy upheld the finding that the athlete was responsible for "forcible rape," but reduced the punishment to four semesters of probation with no restrictions, which allows Shanklin to remain enrolled and on campus and to participate in activities as long as he stays out of trouble.

It's worth republishing over here the full statement that NUMBAlums president Blake Kolesa (SESP '18) sent to my Daily colleague @kamrannia.bsky.social a little bit ago:

Statement to the Daily from NU Marching and Band Alums President Blake Kolesa:

“To borrow from NU Athletics marketing campaigns from the 2010s, Northwestern is a special place because “AND is in its DNA.” That is true of so many individuals and groups at NU. Including the athletes and the bands.

The football team AND marching band have been in the same place consistently throughout the university’s history: Saturdays at Dyche Stadium and Ryan Field. This is true when the ‘Cats won consecutive bowl games for the first time in the last decade, AND when the Purple recorded 34 straight losses in 1979-82, with the Marching Band never abandoning their post.

Now, it appears that pairing is at risk. While Northwestern becomes the center of the college football universe Friday night, it will be the only school in the Big Ten—or the Power 4 for that matter—not putting a marching band on the field for pregame this weekend. Presented an opportunity to put the football team AND its most loyal supporter, NUMB, side by side in the new iteration of Ryan field, I am saddened by the decision of the New Ryan Field production team and Northwestern athletics to turn its back on NUMB when asked whether to prioritize money-making “premium” food stands hand libation sales OR tradition and its most dedicated champions.

The NUMBAlums and I are saddened by the decisions made to sideline the student musicians of the marching band and the band’s decades old tradition on the eve of the new stadium’s opening. We are hopeful that the noticeable absence of the pregame performance will cause the administration reconsider and allow NUMB to return to the field ahead of the first homecoming game at new Ryan Field next week.”

I've always maintained that the biggest mistake Hartford made was hiring Tab Ramos as manager. The biggest improvement the FO made in wake of that was bringing Brendan Burke in to clean up after Tabbypoo's specific brand of footy incompetence. And we here in the 860 are reaping the benefits.

Naomi @naomicath.bsky.social · 20h

The way Burke has turned us from the laughingstock of the USL to turn us into the back-to-back cup finalists and on track for our second non-COVID playoff bid (including a very legit shot at our first ever home playoff game) is just insane.
