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.

- 2024 Summer Previews: Minnesotaby West Lot Pirates on July 25, 2024 at 5:00 am
For the first time in what feels like an eternity, Northwestern fans look at the schedule and will say “Au Revoir Gopher.” PJ Fleck’s squad has been solid in recent seasons, but how will they adjust to the new non-divisional reality that the Big Ten now finds itself in?
- 2024 Summer Previews: Nebraskaby West Lot Pirates on July 23, 2024 at 5:00 am
For years we have been force fed the narrative that Nebraska was back only to laugh with glee as they struggled through another .500 season. With Matt Rhule in his second season and an incoming phenom at QB, could this be the year those pundits could be right? Hope not.
- 2024 Summer Previews: Penn St.by West Lot Pirates on July 18, 2024 at 5:00 pm
Penn St. is such an interesting team this year. They lose so much off the defensive side, including their DC, but the additions they brought in are also phenomenal. Coupled with one of the top returning QBs in the conference, Penn St. could be poised to challenge for a trip to Indy.
- 2024 Summer Previews: Rutgersby West Lot Pirates on July 17, 2024 at 5:00 am
Rutgers was in the middle of the pack last year in the Big Ten East. But with a potential upgrade at QB and a favorable schedule, could the Scarlet Knights find their way up the standings in 2024?
- 2024 Summer Previews: Michigan St.by West Lot Pirates on July 16, 2024 at 1:43 am
Michigan St. saw the huge influx from the Pac-12 and figured they’d get a piece of that action, hiring former Oregon State HC Jonathan Smith to try to get Sparty out of the basement of the Big Ten. How will it go in his first season in East Lansing?
