Bowl bids excite football fans
Northern Illinois University will go “bowling” on Jan. 1 after winning an Orange Bowl invite. Coached by a Sauk Valley native, the University of Wisconsin also is bowl bound. Good luck to the Huskies and Badgers.
College football fans in the Sauk Valley have two reasons to smile after the past weekend.
Northern Illinois University fans learned that their 12-1 Huskies football team received an invitation to travel to Miami and play Florida State in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1.
The University of Wisconsin Badgers, coached by Prophetstown native Bret Bielema, won the Big 10 title game and the right to travel to Pasadena, Calif., and play Stanford in the Rose Bowl, also on Jan. 1.
