2nd Huskie roadtrip for me this year - Ball State was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to the short journey to Kent, Ohio to see our boys in action! I'll have the grill, the crabcakes, breakfast stuff I guess as well. Does anyone know when tailgating lots open at Dix Stadium? After Thanksgiving at my sister's, The BaltimoreHuskiemobile will be rolling! So who else is in for tailgating?

Coming from Toledo, +2

Will be west of DeKalb for Thansgiving, too far to get to on Black Friday morning. Will watch on CBS Sports Network.

awesome

Appreciate greatly the diehard NIU game day fans.
I prefer to watch NIU from home.

Well, I'll be arriving at 8 A.M. or so, ready to tailgate! I'll be driving a grey minivan with Maryland plates - Please pm me to let me know which lot is preferable for Huskie tailgaters, and please stop by for sausage and cheese sliders and Maryland crabcakes on the grill! I look forward to hopefully running into some of you in the tailgating lot Friday morning. Driving from my sister's Thanksgiving celebration. I'll have a Santa suit, #7 jersey, and a sign to match - Probably should have a "stadium flask" to go with the outfit lol. Go Huskies!

Assuming we don't go to a bowl game, that would mean the team plays @Nebraska, @Hawaii, @San Diego State in three consecutive weeks...with a "bye week" in week 2. If that happens I'll renounce every positive thing I ever said about Frazier.

Wait is that actually a rumor that we might be playing at Hawaii next year?

Hadn't heard it until gcd just mentioned it. Not sure if we take that with a grain of salt or if he has heard something. That would be a ridiculously awful schedule. I'd love to hear the argument on that one for how "student" comes first as a student athlete.

There is no rumor. We will NOT be playing Hawaii. GCD just used that as a hypothetical example. We do not have the money to fly the team to Hawaii. That would be beyond stupid.

Agreed that it makes zero sense

I am going to try and get there a couple of hours before game time. I am driving in from the Chicago area. I will try and find you when I arrive.

I will be there.

Playing at Hawaii followed by San Diego sounds like a great two week trip away from home. Unfortunately, I guess the team has to go to class.

Given the records of the two teams and it's Friday I suspect we'll be able to park about 20 yards from the entrance!

And some fans are not wealthy and actually need to work for a living.

So what you're saying is that I won't have to buy my tickets on Stubhub?
