    ESPN does it again

    I would post a link to the article but if you are not an insider it probably wouldn't work. The article is on UNI's home page on ESPN named insider tourney tips and in that article it says NIU 4 times. It also says we beat Stanford on November 19th. Great research ESPN once again.

    Lunardi added a comment today and he was able to get UNI correct.

    A month ago, the Panthers would have been a solid upset choice over Purdue. Now, the Boilermakers are playing (and shooting) too well for UNI.

    I could see where they could get Illinois-Chicago and Stanford mixed up.

      I was just watching ESPNEWS and the analyst on there, Brennan I think, just picked UNI to beat Illinois in the first round.

        That would be the story of the tournament.

          Did anybody watch the Big Ten Channel last night at round 10 or so? It was a half hour show that had media coverage of the UNI-Perdue game. At the very end the guy called us NIU, with a huge UNI logo right behind him. This wasen't done live, and they could have easily done a redo, as the clip was only a few seconds long. You would think that somebody watching (camera man, director, anybody) would have seen the blatant UNI letters right behind him as he called us NIU.

            Well, if the BTN were originating from Iowa City, with a bunch of Iowans running everything, we might see them calling Northern Illinois UNI without thinking about it, so it can go either way.

                I might be mistaken, but I believe "perdue" is French for "lost" (some variation of the verb "perdre", which is "to lose").

                So perhaps HOP's reference to "the UNI-Perdue game" was a French pun referring to the game that UNI lost.....
                But I highly doubt it. heh.
