Does that make us more likely to play in that game?

Another Forbes article quoted the Mayor talking about the bowls affiliation with the MAC and NIU being a great potential opponent because of our close proximity.

I heard they barely beat out Worth.

Was really looking forward to "The Friendly Village" Bowl.

Or Joliet where all the fun is downtown!

Really, the competition was Berwyn.

This is a great idea. Kudos to Elk Grove Village-- "Makers Wanted!"

"Northern Illinois (making the game) would be icing on the cake," Johnson said.

Seems like if NIU is bowl eligible this year, you can book your flights for the Bahamas, Huskies vs MTSU perhaps?

Just as long as it's warm with a beach, the Huskies will be there. Whether they show up for the game is another story.
