NORTHERN ILLINOIS HAS A WEBSITE THAT SHREDS YOURS INTO MEAT-THREAD

I thought the pics above where jokes. Thanks to NIU’s Introduction to Marketing class, they are the real McCoy

Nice to see the alma mater getting some love.

By the way, NIU’s marketing department has been sandbagging for a generation in order to save up for this one fabulous effort. Usually their efforts are far more of the “short bus” variety.

how will they ever learn how to scream at someone else? This is one of many special parent-child educational opportunities that come with child rearing. Circle of life, my friends, circle of life.

“Chicagoland” does not mean “a quick and easy drive to a pleasant town near the city of Chicago.”

Chicagoland means sitting in motionless traffic while staring at the most heinous examples of suburban sprawl, built on frozen swamps under leaden skies.

The more you know….

To have Coach Kill be your official name exactly?

I love the smell of n00bs in the morning.

Note to Purdue fans who have yet to stop moaning about losing to the Huskies last year…Your coach is named Hope, theirs is named Kill. Do you see the problem?

Far more than a mere football team, NIU are also stone-cold bowl killahs. They have now played in the last Silicon Valley Bowl and the last International Bowl. If you’re one of those guys in a loud pastel blazer and NIU is the only option on the board for your game, polish up the resume.

I’m a Northern Illinois alumnus and can explain the corn cob thing to those of you who aren’t familiar with NIU.

DeKalb, IL is also the home of DeKalb Agricultural Research, whose company logo is a corn cob with wings. You can see that logo in corn fields all around the Midwest, but especially in DeKalb County. NIU students long ago started referring to NIU as Corn Cob U. When I was there back in the 1980’s, the joke was that in some of the dorms on the west side of campus bordered by a farm, if you had a ground-floor room you could reach out your window and grab an ear of corn.
