Bio:
Your weekly Northwestern Sports podcast – bringing visceral and statistical analysis since 2010. We tailgate under the Red Pirate Flag because the West Lot Pirates give no quarter, especially the fourth. The West Lot Pirates are the premier Northwestern athletics podcast. We are three die-hard NU fans who have known each other and attended games together for more than 25 years. We primarily cover Northwestern Football but have a great love for all things NU and cover Mens & Womens Basketball, Lacrosse, Softball, and other sports in-depth throughout the year.

Prior to the season, we sat down with Lauren Wadas to preview the Field Hockey season. With the magical season they had, culminating in the program’s second National Championship, we simply had to have her back on to regale us with stories from their title run. We also look back at the Football team’s 38-28 loss to Illinois at Wrigley Field and begin to look ahead to what may need to change in 2025.

- Episode 592: Ohio State 31-Northwestern 7by West Lot Pirates on November 20, 2024 at 2:40 am
We knew it was going to be a tall task to stay with Ohio State last weekend at Wrigley Field, but Northwestern really turned some heads with the way the offense came together in the first half. Now, Wildcat Nation turns their eyes to Ann Arbor, Michigan as not only the Football team plays this weekend, but Field Hockey is playing in the NCAA Final Four there as well.
