It is crucial that NIU make an announcement on the new facility quickly before too many recruits make their verbals. We cannot continue to talk we need to walk the walk. The publicity on ESPN about our crappy facilities did us no good.

Exactly. We need to start living in the present and looking to the future. I am VERY TIRED of every story mentioning Novak mentioning a 23 game losing streak. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT. It's ancient history. Talk about where we are today and where we are going. Period. Stop trashing our facilities. They are what they are. Maybe not luxurious, but effective enough. The bottom line is, if a kid is going to choose a school based on facilities, he's not choosing NIU. But if he's got heart and ability, and likes the staff, then he should seriously consider NIU.
But let's not continue to talk about how bad our facilities are, or how bad the team was at one time.
If you enjoy this success and want to see it continue, we absolutely need to upgrade our facilities.
The bottom line is right now the administration and Foundation and completely dropped the ball on this, from John Peters on down. Phillips is excused as he just came on board, but he needs to go from 0 to 180MPH. Everyone else has completely blown it.
Chi -- I agree about the losing streak and the stories. Enough already. I've had that thought for a while now.
Dan -- agree on dropping the ball. We had all the momentum in the world last year and have ZIP to show for it.
:mad:
Hey we still have a hope for the MAC title...
We still have a hope for a bowl game, i'm hoping our brilliant money people will use those as spring boards.
I fully believe that BGSU will win, they are talented on O, and can stay in a shoot out with toledo, something that we could not do.
