tOffiicial Badger fans overrun Soldier Field (Wisconsin vs NIU) thread

Only on ESPN3. Mother trucker...

Soldier Field? Why the move from Evanston?

 

[ForkEmBucky]

Dekalb you mean? I think NIU is just trying to build their profile in Chicagoland. It will probably help Wisconsin's more. But not necessarily. NIU is a pretty good team with one of those scrambling QBs we struggle with, and their head coach was our defensive coordinator last year.

 

[TexasMan]

My bad. For some reason I though you said Northwestern.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

I figured. But ya, Northern Illinois. They're actually a pretty good sized school. I think they're hoping to win over the fan base that Illinois and Northwestern can never seem to capture. Notre Dame has a pretty big presence there though. South Bend is basically a suburb.

I guess you probably know all that. Forgot you have family in Illinois.

 

[TexasMan]

Yuh. I have some family that went to NIU.
