Went to DeKalb (Capital "K") for Da Game-- Part 3
I found out that after all these years of spelling DeKalb with a small "k" that it is actually a capital "K". That's a good college education for you.
A big crowd at Fatty's, but nowhere as near the standing room only ones they get after Huskie football games (and that includes the huge outside area which is closed now for some reason).
We had good talks with some of the fans, including the man who calls himself "Facebook Guy" and NIU dean who runs the school's Facebook page and a couple of grad students from College of Engineering who had been to all the games (home and away) and bowl games the last two years.
The crowd would have been bigger except the students were home for break.
We used our special 24 ounce Fatty's glass NIU schedule and Back-to-Back MAC Championship mugs.
Lots of cheering whenever the Huskies did well, but, unfortunately, Utah State had Jordan Lynch's number and he made mistakes and we lost.
Oh well, always more fun to watch a game on TV with a bunch of fans pulling for your team.
Sure glad we didn't spend the $2,000 apiece to go to San Diego.
Looking Forward to Next Year. --RoadDog
