Mid-August is often referred to as the "dog days of summer." Whoever coined the phrase was probably referring to the oppressive heat that is typical this time of year, but the term could also refer to Northeastern's athletics preparation and summer training.

Northeastern was competitive almost every week in 2007 and scored impressive wins against ranked opponents New Hampshire and Hofstra.
