We are the fan base that wants a Nick Saban-like coach, a luxury stadium with all the amenities, high-level marketing and robust media coverage, a new conference which would increase travel costs across all NIU sports, AND 4+ star recruits, but complain about the cost of going to a football game which is about as cheap as it gets compared to schools we'd all like NIU to emulate. Given that, our recruiting and what our coaches have accomplished with the 2 and 3 star recruits they sign--from the Novak era to the present--is pretty remarkable. Doing it "The Hard Way" isn't going to change anytime soon.

Yes it’s pretty remarkable that some people are never happy. What they have a handful of home games and you can’t pony up the small amount for a single ticket? It’s that type of mentality that we can’t even sell out against Utah or BC. Love him or hate him, STF has brought some big name schools to Dekalb and we as fans don’t show up. He has a game at US Cellular field to draw more interest in the team in the Chicago area and fans don’t show up.

And DON’T give me that BS about losing fans due to MACtion games. Those early September Saturday games against prime opponents should even be more special since there’s not many to go to. But nobody shows up. That’s pathetic.
