Please stop with Prairie State... That sounds dumb as heyl! N I U

Just get rid of the U and be Northern Illinois, or NI for short.

That we can change our mascot to the Knights, and we can be known as the knights who say "NI".

Illinois Agricultural & Mechanical University. IAMU.
'course, we'd need agricultural and mechanical classes (whatever those may be) but why let facts get in the way?

Illinois School of Mines and Technology. ISMT.
No worries about a lack of mining history within 500 miles of DeKalb. Unless you count the quarry down in Thorton.

Illinois Seminary and Information School. ISIS.
For the Pope in all of us.

Prairie Dog State University

I kind of like IL A&M lol

Diesel University. You get a high five with your diploma. I'm sure we could throw in some trucking classes.

Hey, great idea guys. Now that everyone has finally learned about NIU through the Orange Bowl and the ESPN contract LET'S CHANGE OUR NAME!

Glad we're so tight with the ESPN crew after all of the Saturday games we've sacrificed in their honor.

***I'm officially ready to no longer be an Illinois directional, could care less about any name recognition we've created recently, ripping off the bandaid and re-branding would be WAY better at this point.

What do you suggest? Maybe Bart Simpson U (by the way anyone know if he supports NIU)? I would steer very far away from any political references.

Not sure if anyone corrected you but it is Homer Simpson, not Bart. :)

Those classes teach you how to maintain and repair farm equipment, like tractors and combines.

The voice of Bart Simpson is actually a woman.
