Gee, what fun will this thread be now that onmypole is on vacation?

Why do I feel like 30% of NIU's fan base has either been on vacation here already, or will be so in the near future?

because we haven't seen anybody by the likes of Ryne Robins.....errr....Garret Wolfe. Sorry.....got my MAC fan claims mixed up.

I wouldn't take Fleck being hired as a "We're scared of NIU" move.

Here's your tin foil hat.

Can't believe I never heard this news. Fleck was from right by my hometown and always one of my favorite players.

Found this picture over at SI. The caption read, "Without a doubt, the least intimidating dog pound, ever."

Too funny. The NIU logo is pretty tough looking, so I'm surprised they are so nice looking. I wonder if those are NCAA sanctioned, or just something they picked up at Toys R Us.

I'm assuming they lost the game since Corso picked 'em.

Looks pretty intimidating to me. And to the guy on the left who's about 2 seconds from falling on his ass.

He's just practicing for his next slam dancing session at Otto's when the Goodyear Pimps play. (Yes, that's a real place, and a real band)

I didn't think slam dancing required practice. Who practices slam dancing? That might be worse than guys in the NFL who pre-determine and rehearse their touchdown dances (you know that some of them do).

If you're not practicing your slam dancing, you're not doing it right.

Actually, I was doing a little research on NIU and the surrounding area for my part in the Game Preview, and I was alarmed at how popular hardcore punk/power violence bands are ("Power violence" is a genre I was unaware even existed.) Apparently the band Charles Bronson got it's start in good ol Dekalb Illinois. I guess staring at 20 miles of soy and wheat fields on the last 20 miles of the hour ride from ChiTown makes people angry.

It's a little off topic, but we'll let it go.
