"We're extremely excited for Kyle to be able to come home to Chicago and join our Northwestern football family," Fitzgerald said in a statement. "He is a tremendous young man from a great family and is a product of a high school program we really respect in Proviso West. Kyle's decision to attend Northwestern made sense for everyone involved and we're looking forward to him contributing to our program on and off the field."
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound Prater was ranked No. 45 in the Class of 2010 by ESPN coming out of Proviso West High School in Hillside, Ill. He had 64 receptions for 1,151 yards and 13 touchdowns his senior season.
Prater, who is a redshirt freshman, announced he was transferring from USC on Jan. 8. He was injured for most of his two years with the Trojans. He had one reception for six yards last season.
"This is one of the best days in my life for me and my family and I'm just happy to be back close to home, my family and my support group," Prater said in a statement. "I'd like to thank USC and their administration for my release. I have the utmost respect for USC and the coaching staff, players, fans and everybody I was in touch with there. This Northwestern degree will take me far and help me become a better person. The dynamics of the school and the team have shown me a lot and I'm just happy to be a Wildcat."
USC's release of Prater stated he could not transfer to any other Pac-12 school or Notre Dame.
Prater was on his official visit to Northwestern on Saturday and was unavailable for comment per NCAA rules.Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.

I saw Tool on the 2nd stage during the 3rd or 4th Lollapalooza. Summer of 1993. I liked them but they were always a band sort of off to the side for me, in my listening. Only in the last few years have I gotten more into them.
I have a friend that did some of the background vocals on a Puscifer album.

Serious payback is right. Michigan was publicly saying all of the right things after that debacle in East Lansing, but I'll bet that they were fuming about it and they will be for a long time. Normally I put very little stock in the "revenge" factor, but there are some rare times when it seems to come into play.

After four straight losses, I'll be happy if Michigan manages to beat Michigan State this year. Say what you want about Dantonio, but he's had his team ready to play Michigan every year he's been in East Lansing, and I expect he'll have them ready to play again.

His much-shittier-than-last-year team will be ready, no doubt. His public persona is that of an utter shithead, but he's at least as good of a coach as he is a shithead, in that sense.
All the better, then. It will be much more fun kicking his ass until he gets fired than it was that year LC ran up the score on Bobby Williams.
