OK fans, here is my take on things leading up to the big Wisconsin game.

1. Is it me, or has it been routine for NIU to be referred to as anything but Northern Illinois University on the radio, in broadcasts, whatever. A metro area with 200,000 alums and NIU still gets mislabeled in its own backyard? What's up with that?

2. Wisconsin 42, NIU 16.

3. There are problems with the ESPN3 broadcast.

4. Wisconsin and NIU fans get into parking lot skirmishes when drunken Badger fans rip NIU for stealing the Badger color scheme.

5. Some smartass Badger fan takes a swipe at the Bears and it leads to him getting punched in the face.

6. The turf holds up well enough.

7. This ends up being the last time NIU plays at Soldier Field.

8. The Alumni Tent runs out of mini hotdogs.

9. The parking lot police come down on Huskiemobileman and his band of brothers. Who has bail money?

10. Wisconsin wins the Big 10 over Nebraska and Michigan State.

11. NIU beats Toledo, gets back to the MACC, and loses in another heartbreaker.

If we beat Toledo and and Western Michigan and play in the MACC we will win the game.

Agreed

2. Wisconsin 42, NIU 16.

We will score more.

3. There are problems with the ESPN3 broadcast.

Agreed

4. Wisconsin and NIU fans get into parking lot skirmishes when drunken Badger fans rip NIU for stealing the Badger color scheme.

Maybe

5. Some smartass Badger fan takes a swipe at the Bears and it leads to him getting punched in the face.

Probably

6. The turf holds up well enough.

Probably

7. This ends up being the last time NIU plays at Soldier Field.

Wrong. We play Iowa next year.

8. The Alumni Tent runs out of mini hotdogs.

Who cares

9. The parking lot police come down on Huskiemobileman and his band of brothers. Who has bail money?

Almost happened last time, probably not this time. We are older and wiser.

10. Wisconsin wins the Big 10 over Nebraska and Michigan State.

Probably

11. NIU beats Toledo, gets back to the MACC, and loses in another heartbreaker

Yes and No.

We beat Wisky and they still win the Big 10

12. You become a fan of the winner of Notre Dame and Michigan State

13. You find out that your ISP does not support ESPN3.com and cannot watch the Big 10 beat up on NIU so you transfer 100% of your donations to your honorary degree school of Purdue in a moment of anger.

14. You make a post the day after the game and attack NIU fans for not showing up at the game even though you sat home and watched SEMO play.

We beat Wisky, go undefeated in conference, win the MACC, and go to a crap bowl game. Wisky ends up 12-1 and ends up in a BCS game.

And in our bowl game the other team gets more money than we do even if we win.

Its funny how WD tells everyone to get over themselves, and I can't but help to think of the following youtube video reading the subject of this thread

Ugh....you've moved all the way down to speaking in the third person. Gross, so says The Frisky Biscuit.

Time flies by but I believe that the 2003 team was pretty good and that was 8 years ago

It appears babydick still thinks NIU will never play SF when next year will be the third game, oh well, at least Purdont will beat Southeast Missouri State this week for him, well maybe.

Older and wiser after last week's game at Kansas!

This time there will be the Huskie Sprinter and no HuskieMobile ... so no arguments with Chicago Police about people being up top on the HuskieMobile deck!
