NIU Homecoming 2018-- Part 14: No 'Stompers But Good Time Anyway

Continued from January 8, 2019.

As I said, Lord Stanley's was crowded, but not near wall-to-wall as it is when the Footstompers play.  We were kind of hoping that the group would "come" out of retirement at least for this date.  Hey, I mean it just isn't a Huskie homecoming without the 'Stompers.  But, there was hide nor hair of any of them (and we would definitely recognize the three original members still with the group as we have grown "old" together).

And then we were hoping that Lord Stanley's would at least have another band playing, but they didn't.  Too bad.  We did get to watch the last quarter of the Huskie homecoming game and despite doing pretty much everything to lose the game, we won!!!  Now, had the 'Stompers been there we would have had a rousing rendition of the Huskie Fight Song.  But no.  We sang it ourselves anyway.

A good-sized crowd anyway.  Two people fell down off their bar stools due to severe gravity storms.  And both of them were at least in their sixties.  You just can't teach an old Huskie new tricks.

We had a couple pitchers then drove back to the motel and went to Pizza Pro's across the Lincoln Highway from the motel.  We watched all sorts of football games on the TVs and had some good conversations.
