Spoilers guys, THIS is a part of what that big surprise is that I've had to keep under wraps for so long. It was never about trouble raising the funds, it was about the state budget leaving us hogtied. We could hear something very soon folks...

Ahhhhh....

Still a good idea: Roundys owns Mariano's

I got it if that makes you feel better.

We're all so excited for news we're looking for clues where none exist ;(

I'm not trying to attack you or anything, and you shouldn't risk any trouble to yourself obviously...you're just stuck being a tease, is all.

How is a guy in Milwaukee at risk from NIU? Is there an NIU-Milwaukee branch campus?

Rumor mill here.....lets just say Huskie Stadium will look good with a roof.

Won't happen. Way too expensive unless there is a complete rebuild (which would be prohibitively expensive). But, let's dream: With an indoor stadium, we won't be attracting a mere 8K for our winter weeknight games. Give me an indoor stadium, and I won't dream about skybox seats anymore. A roof on Huskie Stadium would be my biggest wish.

I heard that Frazier was looking into renting the old Pontiac Silver Dome. Can anyone verify?

If you have to drop hints about what you say you know, you probably don't really know much at all. Also, UPS and Nissan have been sponsors for the past few years. It's nothing new.

Makes sense to me. It would greatly reduce travel costs to EMU.

...and the annual trip to Detroit.
