It is good to be #1 in something!

Bottom 10
"1. Northern Ill-ugh-noise (0-7)
The Pillow Fight of the Week between natural regional and conference rivals Northern Illinois and Hawaii wasn't so much a pillow fight as it was like when Bussetta tried to smother Hyman Roth in a Cuban hospital. The Warriors, who had one victory all season, won 56-21."

Leave the gun, take the cannolli. Pretty much sums up the season so far.

OMG, we’re number 1! I wonder if signs proclaiming our exalted status will be posted in Huskie Stadium at the next home game. And….after the loss to UNLV, our #1 ranking will go even higher!!!

This is exactly what Athletics needs. How long before Athletics does a fundraising campaign with #1 T-shirts as a premium (which we won’t receive for 6 months)?

Have no fear! STF is on it.

I listened to STF interview and he said he is going to every single football practice. No offense, but that isnt working, maybe he should stop. Maybe he should be spending more time fund raising so that he can make the stadium nicer. But ok, go watch practices every single day, that is what you are getting paid to do, be a spectator!

That or fundraise so he can buy a better coach or players.

As much of a dump Huskie Stadium is, it's the least of our worries.

That means there is a problem with Sean Frazier, a small mind micro managing. Maybe he was the one who started Macon against ISU? Maybe he is making more player decisions, Harley is an interim and he can step all over him. He can't keep his mouth shut.

Where is this interview ?

Would we be able to beg for funds from the state? Or is that a big nah?

Beg, quid pro quo…. Anything … seems like NIU is not getting as connected with the power people in Springfield .. that needs to change .. we are a public school and need funding to come back instead of being funneled to we know where … the the public has to hold a public school accountable …

The state has no money. The first ones getting cut is higher education.

Yes but we can lobby and justify to getting a bigger slice of a smaller budget because we have been continuously getting the short end of the stick so maybe some times we can get a bit more to fix the infrastructure and save some valuable programs that benefit the state ..

Last big dollar capital project I saw from the state was for that new research center

https://newsroom.niu.edu/niu-breaks-grou...#gsc.tab=0

And previous to that, all those funds from our boi Patty Quinn for the Stevens building

All I want to do is go to a game in Huskie Stadium - as it is now - and enjoy a nice win. Is that too much to ask?

You know what? I noticed he was ALWAYS looking over Thomas Hammock's shoulder (from next to him!). And he treated Thomas like he was a little boy. I remember on more than one occasion saying Thomas just needs to put this guy in his place. Stay off the sideline. Stay off the field, and stay out of my locker room, unless I invite you is what Thomas should have told him early on. He is a joke.
