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.

- Episode 594: 2x National Champion Lauren Wadas and NU’s Football Finaleby West Lot Pirates on December 4, 2024 at 3:42 am
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 593: Field Hockey National Champions/Michigan 50-NU 6by West Lot Pirates on November 27, 2024 at 3:49 pm
Northwestern Field Hockey’s magical season culminated with a dominant 5-0 win over St. Joe’s to bring home the team’s second National Championship. This week, we relive their championship run while also examining the state of the Football team after their 50-6 drubbing by Michigan.
- 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.
- Episode 591: Bye Week Musingsby West Lot Pirates on November 13, 2024 at 2:55 am
As the Cats get set to head into the Friendly Confines to take on Ohio State, we take a moment to reflect on the season thus far and prepare for the final stretch. We also have Field Hockey going into the NCAA Tournament as the #2 seed and Basketball getting underway with a couple early non-conference games.
- Episode 590: Northwestern 26-Purdue 20by West Lot Pirates on November 5, 2024 at 9:40 pm
While it was not the prettiest game ever, you can’t take anything away from the fact that the Cats went on the road and got a conference win. We now take stock of the football team going into their last 3 games of the season, while also celebrating the undefeated regular season of the Field Hockey team and the huge season opening win by the Men’s Basketball team as they look to get back to the Big Dance for the third year in a row.
