Greeting Blazer fans, NIU huskie fan here. I come in peace.

Looking forward to playing you guys in Boca. An hour drive for me, and I'll be there. Hopefully a lot of NIU fans will want a couple of days out of the Siberian DeKalb winters and show up for the game.

Should be a good game. Our QB, Childers, has been erratic all year. Some flashes of being good, but mostly mediocre. After we won the MAC our offense played 10 quarters of the worst football you can imagine, losing the final two regular season games. Something happened in the 2nd half of the MAC championship, and Childers suddenly played like a Heisman finalist. I hope that continues.

The NIU defense has been consistently good, if not great. Iowa and FSU put a hurting on them, But the D has kept in competitive in most of our games, in spite of our offense's inability to move the ball.

I had followed UAB after what happened to your team. Glad you came back. Sounds like the Big Boys didn't like any competition from the upstart.
