NIU has always had a solid football program. This doesn't surprise me one bit.

Purdue sucks. I was on a Big 11 board the other day and their fans don't even care about the football team. They're just sitting around waiting for basketball season.

NIU was one of the worst teams in the nation the last few years.

this is true... i have a couple friends that go there, and theyve been saying the same thing.

That was pre Jerry Kill and post Michael Turner. He's restored the program and they've been pretty solid under him.

They had a couple decent years when Garrett Wolfe was there as well.

Hey, I played against them for the National Championship on the 360.

They were pretty bad for a couple of years but they are starting to turn it around.

[ajk4st8]

IS NIU back on our schedule again next year?

[CycloneErik]

Yes they are.

[CylentButDeadly]

IS NIU back on our schedule again next year?

I believe so. Either next year or 2011. I can't remember.

[CycloneErik]

Next year, they are our home opener, I believe.

[gocubs2118]

IS NIU back on our schedule again next year?

Yep, we play them in our opener. Should be a good test for us.

[gocubs2118]

Speaking of our schedule next year. There is a chance we could go winless in our non conference part of it. Its pretty brutal.

[CylentButDeadly]

Next year, they are our home opener, I believe.

Can we get a cybookie on this. I enjoy placing bets 11 1/2 months out.
