They should have emphasized that they did NOT have to share the Big-10 title; since Ohio State lost to Michigan. In fact, ESPN showed Northwestern watching that game!!
People don’t understand the aura of this season. This would be like a team like San Diego state beating OSU, Alabama, & Oklahoma today! It’s up there with the most memorable seasons for Chicago (96 bulls, 16 cubs, 85 bears,). Even though they didn’t win the Nat(if pat wouldn’t have gotten hurt, they would’ve beat usc), they won the city!
This was my First Day in Elementary School Kindergarten while Amara Tenoh and Michelle Kaioh (Sailor Uranus and Neptune) were 12th Grade Senior and about to Graduate High School Class of '96 in May of that year 1996.
Northwestern's phenomenal season took place during the 100th season of the Big Ten Conference.

Yep. They had at least a share of the Big Ten title that became an outright conference championship when the Buckeyes lost in Ann Arbor.
Not a fan of the Wildcats, but I give Northwestern a lot of respect for having a phenomenal turnaround season in 1995.
War eagle but respect
3/4 of the team was in the Engineer School...bunch of smart guys
Sports story of year 1995!

Darn....I regret didn't go to one game my entire four years there....my freshman year was the 1995 season.
You dummy
My junior year at NU! Helluva season!
Love you Coach Barnett!!
I was at the game when Northwestern beat Michigan....unreal.
Went to that Rose Bowl….if only we would have had replay back then and of course Fitz was hurt…
They were still pretty good in 1996 also they tied for the Big Ten title with Ohio State
Probably will never happen again
