Northwestern Sports ‏@NU_Sports 3m BREAKING: @NUFBFamily will host @NIUAthletics on Sept. 6, 2014 at historic Ryan Field. First meeting since 2005. #B1GCats

BOOM!!!!

Oh wow

OOOOHHHHH SHIIIIIITTTTTT. Time to put up or shut up next season against them.

That means our OOC schedule next year is @Wake, @Arkansas, @Northwestern, and hosting the Blue Hoes.

Why are we having 5 home games a season lately?

Fantastic! Well played Mr.Frazier, well played...

We had over 20k my guess for the OB, there is no reason we shouldn't have that at Ryan Field and then some. Almost will be like a neutral site if we can get a great turnout, their fans don't show that well.

Only 5 posts in and there's your complaining

So that means we have yet another year of 5 home games? Nice of Northwestern to wait until Lynch is gone before getting the balls to schedule NIU! So, when is the return game in Huskie Stadium?

It makes a lot of sense...but man that's a tough schedule for a new QB.

Damn that is a good schedule. Can we get Jordan for one more season?

So tired of the 5-game home schedules. Hopefully the Wake Forest game is going away or is it confirmed? Yes, it would likely be our easiest of three road games but this team deserves a minimum of 6 home games every year.

Just wish it could have been the last 2 years, not sure we get an better on D next year. Without JL, O will take a step back as well.

Just try to win one of the BCS games and get to conference play at 2-2 and I'll be happy.

Love it. He did say that unfortunately there are some scheduling things that he can't do anything about. But I am very confident that going forward we are going to be much happier. Who knows maybe he could even work some magic and re-schedule one of the away games.

Agreed on both counts, but I'll bet there won't be a return game. Hate having 5 home games again, as well as a front-loaded road schedule, but I do like playing better opponents.

Cubs have a home game that day so no chance of it getting moved to Wrigley Field.

Isn't this a defacto home game? Would you be mad if it was against wisky at SF again?

NU will have a new QB also.
