Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

How 'Bout Dem Huskies-- Part 2

Until Tuesday;s game, Northern's record against Toledo was 8-28 and they had won 14 of the last 16 games.

One of the worst things they ever did to us was in 2003, a really fine year by NIU standards as the Huskies were 10-1 coming into the game. Not only that, but at the beginning of the season, Northern had beaten Maryland (then ranked at #14). Two weeks later, we went to Alabama and beat the Tide (then ranked #21) and the following week had a win against Iowa State.

Northern doesn't beat many big-time schools, but yet here we were. At one time, Northern was ranked as high as #10 in the national rankings. Number 10.

But yet, there was still that pesky Toledo. We lost 30-49.

We finished the season 10-2 AND DID NOT GO TO A BOWL GAME BECAUSE OF TOLEDO!! Can you believe that?
