From one Midwestern team to another, we're sorry.
Dear Northern Illinois,
Hey. What's up? How are things in your neck of the Midwest? It was getting a bit chilly down here for a bit, and then it went back to being hot. You know what I'm talking about, right? Just some good ol' fashioned Heartland weather.
So, as I'm sure you know, we have a game today. Yes, I know we're the No. 1 team in the nation and the defending national champs. Yes, I know you're in the MAC and that we've never lost to a MAC team.
