Northwestern University Athletics
#95Now - Replaying the Run to the Rose Bowl
When Gary Barnett was named Northwestern University's football coach prior to the 1992 season he began with a simple mantra for his program and its fans, "Expect Victory," and made a promise that he was going to, "Take the purple to Pasadena."
As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the Wildcats' unforgettable Big Ten Championship and Rose Bowl season, and to fill the void of no Northwestern Football this fall, Northwestern Athletics has decided to play out the 1995 season from start to finish in real time on social media.
That means you can relive the 1995 season from Sept. 2 in South Bend to Jan. 1 in Pasadena. Each week will feature fresh gameday content, highlights, plays of the game, soundbites from '95 and 2020.
The #95Now content was created in conjunction with Studio N's new, eight-episode season of its Emmy-Award winning series, The Foundation, to look back at a campaign that captivated the nation. New episodes of The Foundation: Expect Victory will air this fall on NBC Sports Chicago.
