Hi, fellow Huskie fans and alums,
I discovered this board a few months ago and have been lurking through the ups and downs.
I am a Huskie alumna, Class of Before Most of You Were Born.
Actually, I graduated in 73. I am no relation to Huskie73--his registering that username the same time as I did is strictly one of those, "Whoa!" coincidences. Of course, as Dr. Sheldon Cooper knows, 73 is the best number.

I attended NIU when the great Jerry Z played basketball, the high-rise dorms still smelled like new carpet, and The Village Commons was an empty lot.
I met my Southern-California-born-and-raised husband shortly after graduation, married him a few years later, moved to Southern California, and have lived here ever since.
I have two nieces, two cousins, and a cousin-in-law who also are NIU alums, and my two brothers still live in the Chicago area.
I love the Internet because it let me follow the Huskies before they were nationally ranked, and I'm really excited to be able to keep up with the NIU news with people who are equally as excited and supportive of the Huskies as I am.
