This is clever but still shocking to NIU Huskies for the suspension of a star player

DeKALB, Ill. – Excitement is in the air as the Northern Illinois University football team returns to Huskie Stadium with a 2-0 record on the season heading into Saturday’s Mid-American Conference opener against the Buffalo Bulls (2-1). That excitement extends to the stands as NIU will hold its Salute to Service game, , honor local teachers for Extra Yard for Teachers Week, welcome almost 2,000 high school band students from 21 area schools for Band Day and host parents and others who are on campus for NIU’s Family Weekend.

Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. and after a busy week of ticket sales, getting tickets now, getting to the game early and getting into Huskie Stadium well before that time are all recommended this week. Check out this gameday guide for the “need to knows” before heading to Huskie Stadium.
