Go Huskies!
The 1,300 NIU students who took the Orange Bowl Student Fan Bus trip began arriving back in DeKalb shortly before noon Thursday, still glowing from an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives. “It was awesome – probably the best experience I ever had,” said Chelsie Bram, a nursing major from Buffalo...

As the tops of the four coach buses appeared on the western edge of the NIU Convocation Center about 2:40 p.m. Wednesday, the joyous clanging of the victory bell grew louder. Many in the crowd of well-wishers who came with flags, banners and handmade signs began to wave, most of their hands tucked inside red...
Go Huskies!
The buses heading north to DeKalb today will be quiet, not because of disappointment over the New Year’s Day loss to Florida State in the Discover Orange Bowl but rather thanks to laryngitis. Not a single vocal cord among the Huskie faithful was spared a night of absolute abuse as NIU fans did their best...
Go Huskies!
There was no official proclamation. No formal ceremony. To anyone paying attention, however, it was obvious that Florida A1A in Ft. Lauderdale had been transformed into “Huskie Way” for New Year’s Day 2013. Members of the Huskie Nation were out in force on the sidewalks, on the sand and in the waves, and they didn’t...

Altgeld Hall in winter
2012 was a busy year on campus. NIU Today spent most of December counting down the top 25 stories of 2012, topped by the Huskie football team’s historic bid to the Discover Orange Bowl. The list also included the October announcement from NIU President John Peters that he plans to step aside in June. We...
NIU campus in autumn
College costs money. Lots of money. But those dollars are, of course, an investment – a down payment of sorts on the kind of prosperity that the achievement of a higher education can provide. NIU students who wonder whether it’s worth the financial strain can take this to the bank: It is. The university ranks...
NIU students arrive in Miami
At most hotels on New Year’s Eve, the big excitement takes place at midnight. At the Embassy Suites in Ft. Lauderdale, however, the party got started a little early when more than 300 NIU students invaded the lobby at about 5 p.m. Luckily for the hotel, these invaders, all clad in red and black, were...
Call it the Orange Bowl Express: a 24-hour drive, 26 buses, 52 trip advisers, 78 drivers, 1,300 Northern Illinois University students, 1,400 box lunches, 1,430 miles and 12,480 bottles of water. Caravans of buses packed with students and supplies left the NIU Convocation Center in four waves Sunday afternoon, headed to South Florida, where Huskie...

Northern Illinois turned a good second half yesterday into a complete game Saturday evening in a 69-38 win over Norfolk State to take third place at the 2012 Cavalier Classic at Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena. The Huskies (5-7) used a season-high nine three-pointers to win their first all-time meeting with the Spartans (2-10). “I...

Trailing by 11 just past the midway point of the second half, Northern Illinois cut the deficit to just two, but was unable to complete the comeback, falling to Massachusetts, 64-59, on Saturday afternoon at the NIU Convocation Center. A 12-2 run by the Minutemen to close the first half proved to be just too...

A strong first half performance by Xavier was too much to overcome for Northern Illinois in a 66-54 loss at the 2012 Cavalier Classic on Friday evening at Virginia’s John Paul Jones Arena. The Musketeers (6-6) outscored the Huskies (4-7) 37-30 in the first half, which was enough to withstand NIU’s 34-29 edge in the...
