NaPalm brought "The Hard Way" back to prominence, and I truly believe Huskie Football should rally around this long after he has departed. The more the players believe it, the less complacent they'll be. Maybe attach THW patches to uniforms.

Maybe some banners and signs in the locker room/weightroom/meeting room, but I'm not keen on the idea of having it on the uniforms.

They had "The Hard Way" stickers on their helmets for the bowl game.

Just Because

NaPalm made some amazing catches during his time at NIU no doubt about it.

Here's to you...great job Nathan!

I wonder just how much our recievers bailed him out?

He's an accurate passer. Always has been. He struggled big time with accuracy down the field when he was younger though. Even in 2010, until the MAC Championship and the bowl game we rarely threw it down the field.

Chandler learned something more college QBs need to. College DBs are absolutely terrible at finding the ball. When you have man on man coverage, just throw it up and let your WR make a play. He always had faith in his WR's, and it shows.

Agree with 7 here.

That's true, though it helps to have guys that are a little taller, at least it's less risky that way, if the defender does turn around it time. You couldn't really just throw the ball up to shorter guys like Fleck and Sheldon, as good as they were otherwise. I guess Palmer's only 5'11 but that's still a little taller than those 2.

If you have access to ESPN3 you can still watch the bowl game on there. I didn't notice it either. I'll have to look again I guess.

Maybe sticker overload on the helmets, but I love THE HARD WAY!

Really Compared to some schools...this isn't a lot of stickers at all.

"The Hard Way" sticker - I LOVE it! Hope they continue to use it.
Thanks for posting the pic 7.

DVR'd the bowl game and still have it in glorious HD!
