JSS-- Valentine's Day-- Better Uniform Choice-- NIU Basketball Homecoming Saturday

JSS--  Just Some Stuff

1.  VALENTINE'S DAY--  Liz and I really don't "celebrate" this contrived holiday.  But, we did go to CorkScrew Pointe in McHenry, Illinois, with intentions of having a muffuletta sandwich, but, unfortunately, the kitchen didn't open until 3 and we had to be at a Kenny Reid's funeral by 3:30.

We ended up eating at Burger King, which is alright as I worked at the Burger King in Palatine, Illinois, when I met Liz and we ate there often.  Liz was an especially "cheap" date yesterday as she got the chicken nuggets, 10 for $1, and value soda for $1.19.  Thanks Liz.

2.  BETTER UNIFORM CHOICES--  I sure hope NIU's new football coach will be able to better pick uniforms for our team than the last guy.  His solid white uniforms with white helmets with just player number on them was extremely blah.  And, for crying out loud, we have a good-looking logo finally and let's return it to the helmets.

3.  NIU BASKETBALL HOMECOMING SATURDAY--  Planning on going out to DeKalb tomorrow for the basketball homecoming.  For $5, you get to see both the men's and women's basketball teams at home.

JSIS: Battle of Bristol-- What Not to Wear

JSIS-- Just Some Interesting Stuff

From Yahoo! News.

1. BATTLE OF BRISTOL-- On September 10, 2016, there will be the "Battle of Bristol" between the football teams of the the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech. I'm sure hoping UT gets a football team by then.

They expect a crowd of 160,000 which would set a college single game attendance record, currently held by University of Michigan Stadium with 115,101.

The race track will have to take down the scoring tower in the middle of the infield, however. Tennessee had to rearrange its schedule and was originally to play Nebraska on that date. (They replaced Nebraska with the University of Oregon on another date. (Hey, NIU plays Nebraska in 2016.)

2. WHAT NOT TO WEAR-- Army phasing out its $5 billion camouflage uniform, which was originally regarded as good for fighting in either desert or woodland. The UCP, Universal Camouflage Pattern, has performed poorly and is not being worn very often in Afghanistan.
