IBU/ABV: N/A; 5.6%
Waaait For It. No, not you, that’s the name of the beer. It is also the mantra of NIU fans this year. After a near decade of being atop the MAC, the Huskies have seen some turnover in the coaching staff, resulting in less than stellar play this year.
NIU is situated in the north western corner of DeKalb, IL, a town of 45,000 or so, and only 50 miles from Chicago. It’s considered part of the Chicago metropolitan area. It’s also a university town, although there is quite a bit of agricultural in the area.
