Cannon update: @morrisewhite3, Ryan Sedevie said school was working with national guard on Howitzer compromise, but couldn't reach anything.

Yeah this thread can get buried now.

What if they switched to a mortar? :-)

That's it!

And the cannon will be aimed at a different local eyesore each Home Game.

Week #1: L A Tan Building
Week #2: Meth Hotel at Lincoln & Glidden
Week #3: Illini Tire
Week #4: Lincoln Hall*
Week #5: University Plaza
Week #6 Pig Dawg

*Homecoming. Stop by after the game for a souvenir brick.

Probably some things like evacuation & relocation procedures to work out but other than that I think it's a "win-win".

National Guard, NIU can't figure out way to keep cannon

It's done!

Bummer. But I don't know where they could have put it now that they're using the endzone area. Unless they provided cotton for everyone's ears in the endzone tent. Hopefully they have good fireworks or something, though that's even less imaginative than a cannon.

Those endzone people will have booze in there - let them get numb from drink & they won't even notice the cannon.

I swear if they have a white picket fence around that endzone I will puke. White picket fence belongs in a fairy tale story not on a football field.

At times, the Huskies have resembled a Cinderella story.

I bet after this first game - everyone will forget the canon and then finally this thread can die.

Well if we put a garden hose out there, maybe a swingset or a sandbox we could at least complete the picture.

Kids these days would be accepting of that.

Mount the cannon on a platform on top of the scoreboard.

If the thread bothers you so much...why are you READING it?

If anything after the first game even MORE people will miss the cannon because I expect us to put a spanking on UNLV with many TDs.

I read all the threads - it is not like some threads have take a 90 degree turn and no longer discuss the thread subject line.

NIU used to have a cannon? cool.
