Apparently it's named after the Northwest Territory.

The US has always been east-centric. Pretty sure everyone there thinks of anything west of the Appalachians as being "out west".

And back in 1851 when Northwestern was founded, I think it was even more so. California had just been admitted as a state. Iowa and Wisconsin had only been admitted in the previous 5 years. Minnesota and Kansas hadn't been yet.

So we think of it as the Midwest now, but the country was very different then.


See above.

When Northwestern was founded, it was in the Northwest Territory.

It's kinda like in the Michigan fight song, where they self-proclaim to be the "Champions of the West".

i like my theory better.

There was a SW territory, which was TN. 



NE Ohio was in CT.

Getting to the local Badger bar for an early game, when the turnout is best. Haven’t been able to be there much this year. Hoping for a good afternoon.

On the Purple train headed to Evanston. We went to Millennium Park and ate at Gage, which was actually really good. Had bread with burrata covered in crispy brussel sprouts, pickled onions, and walnuts. Then a lobster roll. Then some apple strudel. All great. Probably a Lake Michigan lobster

The wife was more receptive to football than I thought, so we will be in the stands for NW v. PSU
Really cool you get to be there for the first game!

Watching on FOX and it looks like a cool venue.
