Quote:"[At NIU], I said, we need an indoor practice facility, period," Peters said after Saturday's ceremony, which took place before NIU's annual spring football game. "We've had such tremendous success without it. Now, there's just no limit to the level of our competitiveness, relative to the fact we're in the Mid-American Conference.

Quote:With the Chessick Center, Peters thinks the school can reach the next level in college athletics.

He knows that we are not going to compete for a National Championship but we can still make some noise.

On thing that I did notice gone from the previous speaches was about being the first MAC team to go to a BCS game. He likely knows which way they are leaning and has told Compher that our chances of going to a BCS game after 2013 will be reduced from slim to none.

Hey you never know!

If the B12 does not expand to 12 in the next 5 years then we have a shot...if we go undefeated for the next 5 seasons.

So I give that a one in a billion chance...but its a chance!
