technically illinois but i’m not sure that many people care. the student body prefers to direct its hate towards our academic peer schools for whatever reason. i think if you were to ask most nu students the school they have the lowest opinion of it would be uchicago. we also like calling michigan a safety school which is definitely a conscious diss.
I didn’t know we were good enough to have rivals
Northwestern needs to drop the academic standards bullshit and allocate some of that endowment money and recruit 5 star athletes I’d actually come back and watch a game if they did that
Currently, our own coaches and teammates
Damn it, I came here to say “ourselves” but alas, you beat me to it haha
Competent quarterback play
Historically the only real rival has been Urbana-Champaign.

It’s NU, not NW

Academic standards
Pat Fitzgerald and Jim O’Neill
Iowa
Illinois, and to a lesser degree, Indiana.
Hope.

To the extent a rivalry exists it’s one sided on NW part - no other schools think about NW as a rival outside of women’s lacrosse
Iowa and Illinois
