You can be a loyal supporter and also realize that a mistake was made by NIU Athletics in this instance. To this day, CheerDad has not been contacted by NIU regarding Diesel's passing nor was he recognized at the Murray State game. And that's not right.

The support shown for a memorial to Diesel in this thread has been overwhelming. Would NIU support it financially and otherwise? Don't know. As Dog Fan said, the fact that there is strong support, financially and otherwise, for a memorial should be communicated to NIU. Hopefully, NIU will be supportive and discuss what things need to happen for it to become a reality.

Damn you Bob you only went to what 80-85 games in a row?

Anyone that flew to Idaho to see NIU play in the Kibbie Dome should never be questioned on loyalty!

Actually it was 97 in a row... Wish I could have gotten to at least 100, but it just wasn't meant to be.
