That's great but if this is the big game in DeKalb, we have some issues.

The only good thing about this game is all the money NIU will get from the EIU fans showing up to the game.

Playing before a capacity crowd on opening weekend also shows the coaches and players that their fanbase is interested and cares about the team; moral is important also.

Au Contraire, Compher turned down a Northwestern game this year. The exciting Idaho series was more important since we get so many recruits from out there and the Kibbie Dome is such a destination.

It cant be overstated how bad Compher was.

For scheduling, growing a fanbase and fundraising, yes.

Everything else was outstanding.

We would both bring good numbers into each other's stadiums, and it would pump up instate interest in college football having a cyclical game to jabber jaw about. Too bad greed and fear get in the way.

Quit yo jibba-jabba!

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm still thinking of Rocky 3.

He did great if you like to stand directly next to Dog Fan as he makes detailed comparisons.

We should really romance Iowa State, we had a goo turnout for that game back in the day, we're close, similar in stature...

Have quite a few Northwestern fans writing in to say they'd like to see us on their non-conference schedule.
