Best story of the weekend

Us Colorado alums thinking Substance over show

[@chm97chm97]

Hammock was quite the player at NIU. Only a heart condition prevented him from an NFL career. He was teammate of Michael Turner ( All PRO Falcons) and he was 1a to Turner 1b in the rotation before the doctors stop him from playing. . Great win Coach! Go Huskies!

[@JJF22]

Wow! Not a dry eye in the house. Kudos & Congrats coach. Well deserved recognition of a phenomenal accomplishment!

[@farmer8176]

So glad i chose to watch this game after i watched the Texas blow out.. Great game Coach Hammock, Great play calling on all sides of the ball and for the players, very well executed. That was the best game iv seen in a long time.

[@eric6282]

Thanks for sharing! NiU fan here and we got to attend the game and i agree, I was still coming off a high the next day and it was a very long day between the commute, tailgate, and game. I can only imagine as players and staff. Great job and Go Huskies!

[@eddiereece7815]

Class Class Class! Massive Respect to this coach and this interview. I'm a fan of them for sure now.

[@chazzreinhold]

Congrats coach. Huge W for the program

[@jdubbs5676]

Love this. NIU alumni 2007

[@ericsimmons7920]

I think Northern Illinois can compete for a Conference Championship what do you think?

[@cooperwolfe5478]

Honestly I was thinking about this after NIU beat ND. If NIU ends up winning 9-10 games they should automatically get the playoff spot reserved for a group of 5 conference champion.

[@AdamWild572]

Absolutely

[@DanFeely1]

Best story of the year (so far). Go Huskies - keep it rolling!

[@RogueStatusQVX]

Imagine this guy and Dan Campbell coaching together ❤ New fan of NIU

[@trevormiles4952]

NIU my best Friend played at NIU in the 90s Go Huskies!!!

[@jonnybalz]

Instead of just the movie "Rudy", They should make another called "Hammock".

[@AdamWild572]

Hammock wasn't an instant winner here. We were a program that constantly competed for the MAC and picked off low level G5 teams. Hammock came in here with a lofty vision to take this team to the next level (back to New Years Access Bowls). This changed the type of players we went for. This included a lot of departures. In this process we had many valleys, and a few peaks. Including theee losing seasons, of 3-9 and 0-6. But also a conference championship and a bowl victory. Through it all, Hammock continued to do his thing. I have to thank him for continuing to fight for his vision, the AD and the rest of administration for being patient, and the Huskie fans who continued to believe.

[@ErikJensen-ni3ce]

What a likeable dude!

[@jamescharles8663]

Fantastic interview! Congratulations NIU 🏈

[@Lancer-y5g]

NIU has been a quality program for decades. They have deserved an invitation to a bigger conference. They would give the Big 12 a team in Illinois.

[@williamdillard5060]

That was a classic upset. Np one gave them a chance to beat The Fighting Irish. What a fantastic game.

[@josecuellar3620]

Best moment in sports so far!! And that south bend touchdown Jesus mystique is gone. No one is scared to play there anymore.

[@earthychef]

Who wouldn't want to play for this guy?

[@mark11967AD]

NIU did a great job and they’ve had a few notable programs both in basketball and football over the years. Congrats to them tremendous achievement. That said. Wonder if a coach can survive this kind of monumental disaster.

[@TempeSoldier123]

Ohio Stare and Notre Dame are the Dallas Cowboys of college. They’ll choke when you expect them to.

[@irishcubs01]

NIU should win out this year

[@davidjanssen894]

Glad your giving the Huskies a little shine

[@JustinWhite-s3z]

Hmmm no mention about corrupt officials?

[@sneakyquick]

This guy is better than half of the overpaid coaches in d1

[@warrencold]

No luck needed! Go Huskies!

[@jessepalacios2806]

Irish should’ve never got the ball back after field goal , that was the worse spot ever by the referee $$$$$ clearly a first down by NIU great job by a great program , good job NIU

[@misskimmybaby3]

JC stand up! 🎉🎉

[@KennyWright-bv7sr]

Great win coach knocking off the Irish

[@JosephFerguson-bi1ul]

Northern Illinois. Who knew???

[@ezioaltairac]

Jordan Lynch truthers.

[@AdamWild572]

Michael "The Burner" Turner people

[@dustyflair]

DUDE@ I am now a HUSKY!

[@stingrey1571]

Not to take anything away from NIU. They deserve to win. This does prove my point, as coach referenced it too, the media over hypes and overrates notre dame. No school has coasted off a legacy like the Irish.

[@michaelpacak3401]

Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stingrey1571]

@@michaelpacak3401 are the UCLA mens basketball team ranked in the preseason top 10 every year? how about the women's tennessee volunteers? Nope. yet every year, the irish start the season in the top ten. then end in the top 50.

[@henrylee8510]

Colorado alums like thinking, substance over show

[@brandenhidalgo3873]

Go Huskies!!

[@tommyzee7251]

Best story/interview in a minute. Reminds me of when DP was good instead of Dick Eisen light

[@EthnosSynergyEnergy]

This is the type of Black Coach that deserves attention. Not Deon Sanders...

[@dustyflair]

no flash....just class

[@stephenbrowneda9126]

White Kevin Thomas Matthew Martin Timothy

[@ndbobby1]

"I wasn't surprised." Bullshit

[@ssssammyg5910]

Notre Dame is overrated

[@dustyflair]

He told hs team they would win if no one was a hero. Just do your job the best you can and we will come out on top.
