NIU football: Fleming lightens mood at Huskie Bowl by wearing cape and wig

DeKALB – When Northern Illinois offensive lineman Levon Myers walked to the Huskie Bowl coin toss for Team Black, he couldn't help but laugh.

Walking from the Team Cardinal sideline was senior defensive end Ladell Fleming, wearing a bright red wig and a vampire-style cape.

"I'm not really surprised because Ladell is kind of a goofy guy like that," Myers said. "It made me laugh. I got a big laugh out of it."

No, Fleming didn't lose a bet.

He said he wanted to do something in his final Huskie Bowl to lighten the mood and had to use what he had.
