'Cat Tales - 09-25-1982

Northwestern's trip to this year's Outback Bowl ended in a loss to Auburn University from the college football powerhouse Southeastern Conference. A trip to the postseason is something Wildcats fans can realistically hope for at the start of every season, but that was not always the case. In the late 70's and early 80's, Northwestern set a record for consecutive losses before breaking that streak in a game against Northern Illinois. Doug Grad (C84) and Joan Wicks (C84) were there.
