Today's action

Tune into WSCR at 10 AM to hear the NIU Huskies face the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Why do I care? Because in addition to being one of the fine local universities here in Illinois, NIU shares some key attributes with Northwestern (not academics of course):
  • We both got thrashed by OSU.
  • We both beat Miami of Ohio.
  • We both played Iowa.
And today NIU faces the fearsome Eagles of Eastern Michigan, whom the Wildcats snuck by 14-6 on September 16. How have the Eagles fared since losing to the Wildcats? Pretty poorly, I'd say, having lost every game before and since except for a stunning win over the Toledo Rockets.

The Huskies will be playing for a possible bowl bid (the Poinsettia Bowl looms large) as well as pride.
