Honestly, if you're in town or nearby come to the game. Kick off the superb owl weekend and give the boys someone to play for!

And give the pep band some people to play at!!
Bring a friend, bring five!!! I just wanna see people at the game. :)

I'll be there with 3 others.

Always good to see a win against Toledo.

Trumpet/sometimes I run over to the bass drum, and I'm the guy that yells during starting lineups etc. I helped conduct last spring. I do a little bit of everything

The band does a nice job. We have no trouble hearing you....unlike the P.A. announcer.

Speaking of speakers, we were at the women's game last weekend, and the sound system was much improved. Not sure if it was fixed or because of where we were sitting. (We sit in different locations for the men's and women's games.)

Thank you!! :) I didn't want to quote everything to say thanks, but thanks!!


Ps tipoff is at 3:00pm CST. If you can come, come, and be LOUD!!

No problem! Usually when I come, I come loudly. Since I do not come all that often, it's usually a good experience and big day for me when I do. Tomorrow will be one of those days.

The darn band is trying to get people there!

Oh, they don't leak. I've learned to be gentle. Maybe it's just that I'm getting older.

I expect a few thousand screaming fans getting in the faces of the Toledo players. Hope the Toledo DA is not at the game.

Do they expect a big crowd? A few thousand would be the biggest of the year, right? Except maybe when the football team came.

There will not be a big crowd there.

No, it's just Dog Fan.

Nah, there won't be thousands there. There will hopefully at least be a bump in attendance. I've spoken with my friends in various fraternal organizations around campus and asked them to bring as many people as they can (even if they are inebriated).

P.s. I've been in band a long time, and I'm one of the drum majors, but requests from me are not from the band. :) I just happen to have avenues like this where I can advertise for NIU and try to take every opportunity to do so.

I....well I kind of like NIU sports...

Coming with 6, although some are more interested in postgame Pizza Villa than the game itself.

I am making an attempt to be there. Me + 2
