We need to look into getting Indiana or somebody similar. It has been way too long since the BCS conferences made their way into Huskie Stadium. The last I can remember off the top of my head is Iowa State in 2003.
Kansas is coming to Huskie Stadium next year.
given the absolutly worst tickets I have ever had at a football game, I would give KU fans a bleacher in the SE corner or behind the stadium. The high school bands had better seats and ours cost $45

No, we can't. We are a poor school that has no resources, and we just don't have the money to pay a big school to come to Huskie Stadium, and our first and foremost mission should be to provide a quality education for offspring of first generation middle class blue collar Chicago area residents, and .......

FYI, from NIU Today...
"Shelley Binegar, assistant athletics director, estimates attendance will top 40,000. She expects more than 2,000 NIU students are taking seats in the stands."
40,000+. and 2,000+ students is pretty darn decent, especially with the price point, the economy, etc. Get excited and quit *****'n already!
GO HUSKIES!

Also, FYI, I could care less if Illinois or Wisconson ever bring their bloated overated assess into (our current version of) Huskie Stadium, lets leave them for the occasional Soldier Field game. I do think its very important that we get Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Minnesota, Duke, Northwestern, Indiana, UNC, Kentucky-type teams on a regular basis.

Here's an informal poll from Badgernation.com. Granted, it's a small sample, but just maybe, we're gonna see a larger-than-expected turnout of UW fans!

For anyone that still needs tickets you can still get 3rd row from the field on the 10 yard line now on TM.
