Northwestern just had a huge win today over Iowa. (For those who don't know, NU has never made the NCAA Tourney. They've been on the precipice for the last few years but have always fallen just short.) Conventional wisdom says that they needed to beat Iowa and win their next game in order to lock up a spot in March Madness. A loss today would have been fatal. After letting Iowa climb back into the game near the end of the second half, it felt like NU was going to rip its fans' hearts out one more time. Thankfully, Iowa missed a go-ahead three-pointer with a few seconds left and NU held on for the win. They're one victory away from breaking one of the most embarrassing streaks in college sports...ONE TIME!
On an unrelated note, I saw a thirty-year-old guy wearing these shoes and wheeling around in 'em:
Props to this guy for not caring what society thinks. Who cares that Heelies are for pre-teens (and went out of style a few years ago)? If it makes you happy and it doesn't hurt anyone else, do it.
Lol I never had heelies but they look fun!
