2 Things

First of all off-shore gambling site 5Dimes lists NIU as only -7.5 favorites against SIU on Saturday. YIKES! They are one of the only sites I've seen that hand out I-AA lines, so it's pretty accurate. Still waiting on my transaction to Nicaragua...shhh

Second of all, here's a frightening Sun-Times article on the thought of Wisconsin playing NIU at Soldier Field next year:

When NIU hosts Wisconsin in 2009, Phillips might seek to play the game in Chicago because Wisconsin is another neighboring school that travels well. And because Iowa is an exceptional draw, Phillips said he is looking into scheduling NIU-Iowa games again starting in 2010.

Yeah I don't think so Lacy J Banks. Is this a woman covering football for the Sun-Times? 2 wrongs do not make a right in this situation. That is a horrible idea.

Soldier Field is not our home, Huskie Stadium is! Wisconsin will play in Dekalb and we will do our best to defend our home turf in front of thousands of Huskie fans that live and die with their team.

And Jim Phillips, don't get greedy now. I know the revenue is very nice, but we need more BCS teams to come to our hometown.
