He's from the family that did their grocery shopping at the "Jewels".

I agree that it was jarring to hear "Huskies First down"

But I also agree that it may be grammatically correct

But I also think that maybe an incorrect tradition does not need to be changed

But I also think that, as an institution of higher learning, perhaps it's best to get it right.

So I am going to go with the last one. Get it grammatically correct, and I will live with the change!

I'm just thankful that the announcer works for Northern Illinoise.
