NIU ad in the Sun Times reads: "Illinois' Best College Football Team"

Touche.

Specifically cites a long home winning streak, 3 consecutive MAC titles, 5 straight bowl games, and a Heisman candidate in Jordan Lynch.

I actually have become a Husky fan over the years. I wish we would play them more often. But the guantlet has officially been laid down. ;)

Wasn't the Iowa game technically a NIU home game?

Do they play their home games at Soldier Field? If the home team in the Rose Bowl loses, is that a "home loss"?

You are really struggling today.

The loss, considered a home game for NIU, ended the nation's longest winning streak among Football Bowl Subdivision schools at nine.

That would be wrong then, I guess. And the second part about 9 games is overall, not at home.


Can you believe Navy lost at home that badly to Notre Dame?? You know, in Dublin?
