Korcek: When it comes to Fleck, NIU folks should root for NIU folks

Right to the point: What’s with this venemous, almost malicious P.J. Fleck hatred? I mean it.

Daily Chronicle beat writer Jesse Severson made reference to it in a recent column.

Admit it, you’ve probably heard it in the Huskie Stadium stands or read the vitriol online in fan forums for years.

Benedict Arnold Fleck, eh?

Former Northern Illinois University quarterback Josh Haldi, a Fleck family friend, ex-teammate, and 2004 team captain, wonders about the local version of "Fear and Loathing", too.
