Fleck. There's nothing quite like being a Huskie, and only the
chosen few can comprehend the feeling of pride, loyalty, and honor
that defines the experience. Northern Illinois Huskies Football
captures that feeling through revealing interviews with some of the
greatest players to ever wear the Huskie uniform. Sports journalist
and historian Dan Verdun chronicles the memories and stories of the
countless young men who blocked and tackled their way to victory as
a part of the great Huskies football tradition. Telling the
fascinating story of Huskies football decade by decade, Verdun
recalls all the important moments, unforgettable games, and lasting
traditions that have been a part of football at Northern Illinois
for over 113 years. From the school's very first team led by coach
John L. Keith in 1899 to Dave Doeren's most recent squad and its
unforgettable trip to the 2013 Orange Bowl, Northern Illinois
Huskies Football will dazzle and delight fans of the subject with
its irresistible mix of pride and nostalgia. Lavishly illustrated
with photographs from throughout the program's storied history, and
with a foreword by beloved former head coach Joe Novak, Verdun's
book deserves a place in the collection of any football fan ever to
sing: Forward together forward. There's victory in view. Come on
you Huskies. Fight on you Huskies. And win for NIU.
