Northwestern University (Nu) Wildcats Football Players Taken in 2010 Nfl Draft - 3 Players superior

The Northwestern University (Nu) Wildcats football agenda had three players selected in the 2010 Nfl Draft that was held in April in New York City. The three players from Northwestern who were taken in the 2010 draft are:

Corey Wootton ( defensive end): Chicago Bears in round four with pick 109 Mike Kafka (quarterback): Philadelphia Eagles in round four with choice 122 Sherrick McManis (cornerback): Houston Texas in round five with pick 144

Northwestern

Corey Wootton was the first Wildcat to come off the board while the 2010 Nfl Draft weekend that was nationalized televised. Corey is a 6'6" 270 pound defensive lineman who is originally from Rutherford, New Jersey.

Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith is excited about bringing the young talent of the college football star who excelled across town in Evanston, Illinois to Soldier Field in Chicago where the Bears play. The inclement weather sustained while many outdoor pro football games in Chicago has for decades encouraged the local Nfl team to emphasize the defensive side of the ball. There are high hopes in the windy city that Corey will continue the tradition of perfect defensive players that have long been the signature aspect of the Chicago Bears franchise.

Mike Kafka was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles to play for a team that recently opened a void at the starting quarterback position when they sent long time prosperous signal caller Donavon McNabb to the argument rival Washington Redskins while the off season. While expectations are tempered for Kafka he will be entering an environment where he will be able to compete with the Eagles 2007 second round draft pick of Kevin Kolb for the starting quarterback position. As a versatile quarterback who led the Northwestern Wildcats in rushing and passing touchdowns in 2009 Mike should be excited about joining an established contender in the Eagles who already have a top notch defense and ground game.

The final player from Northwestern taken in the 2010 Nfl Draft was cornerback Sherrick McManis. Sherrick is a 6'1" 190 pound cornerback that the Houston Texans hope can add some youth and speed to their secondary.

Under young head coach Pat Fitzgerald the Northwestern Wildcats have reemerged as a contender in the Big Ten argument that is also developing a prestige for producing Nfl talent. Over the past two seasons Coach Fitzgerald has turned colse to the Northwestern football agenda that has historically been mediocre at best (458-600-44 all-time record) into a prosperous big time agenda that went 9-4 in 2008 and 8-5 in 2009.

Penn State Football VS Nebraska Football - The Best Fans?

Are you a Penn State Football Fan? Or do your loyalties lie with Nebraska Football? These two teams will be meeting up starting in the 2011 college football season when Nebraska joins the Big 10 and while on the field analysis will be going on and on, I wanted to look at these two organizations from a different standpoint and see if I could answer the question. Who has the best football fans?

Let me explain my perspective on this controversial question. I am Pennsylvania born and raised - Go Lions! I married a Nebraskan and this obligates me to keep the peace at home - Go Cornhuskers! So I would like to think I can provide an unbiased opinion here...well, at least I would like to think that, you may disagree with me and that's fine.

Northwestern

Penn State has the best football fans because...

1. Okay, this is simple...the Penn State White Out. This is a tradition that is actually announced on the student tickets. On designated White Out games, every Nittany Lion fan entering Beaver Stadium is encouraged to wear white as a symbol of their Penn State Pride.

2. The student section. ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit, declared the PSU student section to be "the best in the country". Beaver Stadium, with a seating capacity of 107,282 is often referred to as the toughest venue for opposing teams. In 2008, the student section was recognized as being the best in college football for the second year in a row.

Nebraska has the best football fans because...

1. They have the longest consecutive sell out record for home games, topping all other college football teams. They celebrated their 306th sellout on September 11, 2010. This streak dates back to November 3rd, 1962.

2. They are widely known as the friendliest fans in the country and this comes from opposing teams as well. When Texas broke Nebraska's home win streak, the year Ricky Williams played, instead of throwing things the ever classy Nebraska fans cheered Ricky Williams and joined in a chant of "Heisman, Heisman". This is cool in my book.

So there you have it, Penn State has the White Out and a powerful student section while Nebraska has loyal fans that fill the stadium and show a whole lot of class.

All I know is that come the 2011 season, I am going to have a tough time when Nebraska and Penn State take the field as part of the Big Ten Conference.
