Their coach and AD have been quoted as saying that Boise State is their model.  If they reach another BCS bowl, one will have to think that they've arrived.

Except for the Cold weather, would love for them to round out the new C-USA.  Not Chicago, but close enough.

It is obvious that their AD and administration is committed to winning and perhaps moving on to bigger and better things on the horizon.

They have done well but....... they only had 18K for their game last night. Our fans would have a cow if we were in their shoes and only had 18K.

I'll take 10-0 and 18000 fans any and every year.

They may "model their program off of Boise State" but they will NEVER have the fan support that Boise has. If they do then good for them but I just don't see NIU coming close to what Boise has done. They better  hope that UCF doesn't jump them in the BCS rankings as they will get snubbed for sure too and won't get a spot due to not being ranked over an AQ team.

UCF... AQ... Completely ridiculous.

What we don't need is more fans like you Extra, who complain and boycott for eight years. Let's put the Huskies on our schedule or invite them to CUSA and see how quickly they decline. They would not give up their  soft schedule that would due harm to their BCS payday. Play em Mike.
