Thought I'd go ahead and start this thread because this game is sneaking up on us! "TRAP GAME, this is," said Master Yoda. Sandwiched in between our 1st tilt w/ Buffalo & our 2nd go around w/ Ohio, we'll be on the road at Northern Illinois, who sits in 1st place in the MAC West and boasts an overall record of 13-8 (5-3 MAC). NIU is a team which wins both at home and on the road, with road victories over Kant, FIU, USF, BUGS, & most recently, at Toledo. In Dekalb they've beaten (among others) Indiana State, Idaho, UIC, & Central Michigan. Like everyone else in the MAC, they're going to want to prove their manhood against us, so they'll get a good nights' sleep & eat their Wheaties before the game. I believe that I heard somewhere that we were chartering a flight to Dekalb? So at least we won't have to suffer through that long bus ride. Hope the fellas can re-focus & be ready to play yet another tough one.
