It's wait until next year for the women to get their fair shake in intercollegiate athletics. With gender equity promised to be the talk of the 1994 NCAA Convention, this year's gathering of university presidents and athletic directors didn't provide...

Logan, Utah has a new resident. And it's not NIU Athletic Director Gerald O'Dell. Utah State University was in search of an athletic director over the holidays. O'Dell was one of four finalists for the USU position. Joining him were Charles Johnson, an...

NIU's football team was hoping to finish the season on a high note as the title of a winning season was on the line. However, the Huskies will have to wait another year because there will be no winning season in 1992 as the Toledo Rockets (8-3) pounded...

While Charlie Sadler and his football team prepare to hang up their helmets and spikes for another year, Brian Hammel and the NIU men's basketball team are warming up their high tops. After last season's misfortunes, which ended with no more than six...

When you hear the name Army, you think of awesome ground-offensives. Saturday, the Black Knights gobbled up ground against NIU like General Patton was back in command. The Black Knights used an old NIU favorite, the wishbone, to churn out 361 yards and...

With only eight players on his 1991-92 roster, NIU men's basketball head coach Brian Hammel managed to scrape up an 11-17 record and a 7-9 ledger in the Mid-Continent Conference (good enough for a sixth-place tie with Cleveland State) in his inaugural...

The Wishbone. It is something that NIU is very familiar with. Former NIU head coach Jerry Pettibone, now head coach at Oregon State, used it in his five-year tenure (1986-1990). The Wishbone offense helped the Huskies finish No. 6 in the nation in team...

Must have been the southern hospitality. Must have been the weather. In any case, excuses should be abandoned. Because it must have been the Huskies. On Saturday, the NIU football team met the Ragin‘ Cajuns of the University of Southwestern Louisiana...

Last May 6, the decision to drop the women's field hockey program in favor of a women's soccer program was made by the NIU Athletic Board. Consequently, the board thought that it would be left at that. However, a complaint was filed last week due to the...

The Huskies are back, though some will tell you that they never left. The only thing they did different last weekend was win. LeShon Johnson again rushed for more than 100 yards, Scott Crabtree again threw for less than 100 yards to go along with multiple...

Where's the justice? It happens so often. But fairness is forgotten. Hopefully, last Saturday was the last game the NIU Huskies lost on the football field this year. Hopefully, it wasn't the last game for senior free safety Tom Rhomberg. No, not for the...

With three games left in the season, the Huskies (4-4) have a chance to finish above the .500 mark and LeShon Johnson has a chance at the NCAA Division I-A rushing title. The next stepping stone is in Lafayette, La., tomorrow when the Huskies face the...
