And, lookie lookie, it's on a SATURDAY!! My goodness, the world must be ending soon! I sure hope ESPN and the MAC don't find out about this!
P.S. You need to make a reservation for this, so don't just show up.
And its on the Saturday of Corn Fest in downtown DeKalb. Go to the Huskie event and then downtown.
"from 9:00AM-11:00AM. The morning includes a breakfast buffet, a cash bar..."
Cash bar at 9:00AM .Now that's the NIU I remember.
Very nice. Planning to attend.
Who's going?
I'll be there with the better half.
And I believe there is a practice at 3:30.

You probably tried registering after the deadline. I'd give them a call tomorrow and see if they can fit you in.
It was an excellent perk for season ticket holders. The missus and I had a great time. Sooo much better than time at 2 Brudders.
Carey says he knows who's starting at QB, but he's not telling.
I was at Saturday's practice. Sure looks like Graham will be the guy.

Should have told him that we know too.
This was my second year attending and once again it was a nice event. This year's event filled quickly due to demand and was at capacity.
The team is working hard.
Coach Carey liked the new practice schedule.
Coach Carey and STF are not big fans of the midweek MACtion games.
What exactly is this? Just a place to meet up with other season ticket holders while the coaches are in their own corner, is there a Q & A, a meet and greet with the coaches or what?

All Season ticket holders are invited. It is a brunch and they have Sean T. Frazier, Coach Rod Carey, and the Leadership council from the Football team. All of those people came around and introduced themselves. We unfortunately did not meet STF.
There was a session where Sean talked about what is going on with athletics and specifically Football and then there was an open Q&A. Not a lot of questions. Would have been better if they had paper to write out questions instead of yelling the questions up front.
It's a fun event. I would recommend going to one at some point.
