                      CONGRATS TO THE NIU HUSKIES

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Northern 
Illinois University Huskies football team for winning the 2011 Mid-
American Conference championship.
  Last Friday, the Huskies overcame three first-half turnovers and a 
20-point deficit to defeat the Bobcats of Ohio University with a last-
second field goal as time expired. The incredible win caps off another 
great season for the Northern Illinois University Huskies as they 
finished with a 10-3 overall record and now head to the GoDaddy.com 
Bowl on January 8 to play Arkansas State.
  Congratulations to the players, coaches, and support staff for all of 
the Huskies for another fantastic season. Go Huskies.
