Hammock-

118 players on roster.

Excited about Defenses' improvements.

Biggest depth-RB, Safety and 10 guys on DL.

Foley and ST are a weapon.

Rudolph had surgery Friday and returning in January.

6 WRs they can win with.

KR Blakemore, Kacper, Credle

Fattys was packed. The enthusiasm was unexpected. I’ve been a big SF critic but I did chat with him today for a bit. Also spoke with Coach Hammock. These guys are pumped. All the captains were there…they all seemed to be genuinely having a blast. I feel like this could be a very special season.

Same here. He's growing on me. I wish him continued success.

Sorry, I didn't look to see if there were any threads before I made my post.

Sharing a post and my thoughts around my day in DeKalb and around NIU campus today.

Started the morning by going to the NIU football season ticket holder event at Fatty's. They had eggs, breakfast potatoes, biscuits & gravy, and some humongous sausages.

Bill Baker was the MC for the event. He made it a point to tell everyone who came last year that he told them to bring one more person to this event or to a game and to grow the Huskie Nation fandom. It was a large crowd and there was no parking spots left at Fatty's. They were happy with the turnout.

He introduced President Freeman, then Sean Frazier, and then Coach Hammock. Hammock did a Q&A. Some questions asked were how Rudolph was doing, who will do kick returns without Rudolph, the most competitive positions (RB, secondary, and defensive lines were called out). Hammock introduced the football captains but none of them spoke to the crowd.

I met Coach Hammock for first time and we talked and good 5-7 mins. Also briefly spoke with DC Derrick Jackson.

Walked and drove around campus. I went inside the Stevens Bldg, Holmes Student Center, and went by the Ralph McKinzie baseball field. Not much going on with the Field Turf installation there. Many of the classroom buildings around campus I was unable to get into.

Holmes Student Center and Huskie Den 1st and 2nd floors are really nice since the renovations. Bought a few things from the NIU Bookstore but a bit disappointed with the t-shirt and baseball hat selection.

Few other thoughts. A lot of the roads around Neptune, Stevenson dorms and parking lots really need to be replaced. A lot of the roads are in very bad condition. There is essentially plastic tarps all on the roof of Swen Parson (law school building). I assume they are having roof/water issues and the university is waiting (or can't afford) to replace the roof.

I took a bunch of pictures. I can post them later if anyone is interested. But for now I'm going to grab some Fatty's cajun potato salad to go.

Go Huskies!

Oh, I also drove by Hillcrest. That is a very rough area. They had an SUV police car just sitting there with a bunch of people just standing around.

I believe that’s HuskieBob that lives on FL. I’m still in the Chicago burbs.

We hit Cornfest after and I couldn't believe my eyes. It too was packed, midday. Dekalb is really trying to get back to it's glory days.

Free corn today and it was delicious. Downtown never looked so good and yes most of the street repairs were completed in time.
