Thanks, but it did take 2500+ posts for you to notice it.

We get confused with UNI because we are known as Northern Illinois and everyone that doesn't know us puts the U in University first instead of last. If we were ONLY known as NIU then we would not get confused with UNI.

Also last year was at the MACC where they had N Illinois on the endzone. I would have rather had the Lions endzone markings than that garbage.

I undestand that there has been a conscious effort (by NIU) to rebrand us as NIU. At least we on this board should be able to run with that.

They fixed it on espns rankings page, now says Northern Illinois
