Quote:I'd say right now the best team is between Northwestern and NIU
NU is supposed to have a good team ( for them) this year. I say the Huskies would take 'em, but it may be close.
The Huskies would :chair: :chair: :chair: U of I. Illinois State gave the Illini a game two years ago- and they are DI-AA :eek:
It was my pleasure to cast a vote for NIU!

The Huskies played in Champaign in 2001. Illinois, who would go on to win the Big Ten championship that season, beat NIU, who would finish 6-5 that year, by a score of 17-12. The Huskies were driving for the game-winning score when time expired, if memory serves.
You're damn right the Illini want no part of NIU these days...
What he said.
Neither NU or UofI will dare come to DeKalb. We go to NU next year - they've gotten better and play a lot of youngsters still.
UofI actually obsesses with our turnaround, to the point that they've taken 3 of our assistant coaches in the last 4 years, including both of our coordinators. They're taking a very close look at how we've done it, as they've REALLY slid since their Rose Bowl, and very quickly.
UofI can really kiss my nut sack. :chair:
