It's a damn shame that they have to play in the fucking pizza bowl. They deserve a real bowl game. |

Argument from haters club: "But Minnesota had something to play for while Iowa had nothing to play for. Minnesota really wanted that rivalry trophy, oh so bad." |

They have always found a way to disappoint me. Before every year i have taken it with a grain of salt, but this team has not had a single letdown against an inferior opponent. We have outscored our MAC opponents 372-127. That's an average of 47-16. The last team to go undefeated in the MAC with an average winning margin of 30+ points....#10 Miami with an 11-1 record. I'm not saying this team is as good as that Miami team, but just saying. Under the current BCS rules, that Miami team would have played in a BCS bowl. |

So i guess Illinois basketball shouldn't be ranked either? |

St. Xavier is in the NAIA semis. Where do they rank in the state football rankings? |

Interesting little tidbit when you consider these schools that are playing seven, eight home games nowadays... Link Quote: The Huskies...are the only 10-win team in the country to have played only five home games in 2010.

I don't see Illinois or Northwestern ranked in the top 25. NIU is the best team in the state. |

You think if Illinois played the same schedule as NIU they would have a worse record? |

So, I was perusing the Daily Herald this morning, looking for some knowledge from the latest Seacrest column, when I decided that I wanted to check the Big Ten standings again since the latest Iowa loss. I soon discovered that the MAC standings were directly below them. I decided, just for fun, to check the Out-of-Conference records for each conference. I discovered - MAC - 22 games under .500 Big Ten aka "Little Sisters of the Poor" - 27 games over .500 And, to be even more specific, there was only one team in the MAC that had a record over .500 and it wasn't the University of Northern Illinois. Seems like the MAC is really good at beating teams in the MAC - not so good at beating teams not in the MAC. Fun fact. |

Did you also discover the discrepancy in the number of OOC home games for little sisters of the big ten and the MAC? NIU played three BCS teams on the ROAD. I wouldn't be surprised if 70%+ of the MAC's OOC games were played on the road while 70%+ of the little sisters of the big ten played that same amount at home. |

Breakdown of OOC home games: MSU - four OSU - four Wisky - three Iowa - three Ill. - two; one neutral site PSU - three UM - four NU - two UP - three Minny - three Indy - three ___________________ Total OOC home games: 34 of 44 (77%) NIU - one UT - two MU - one OU - two Temple - two WMU - two KSU - two BSU - two CMU - one EMU - one BGSU - one UB - two UA - two _______________ Total OOC home games: 21 of 52 (40%) Huge discrepancy between OOC SOS and # of home games. Must be nice to not have to play all those road games. |

I would call those lots of 'fun facts'! Also - Dr. Ken's 'fun fact' has absolutely nothing to do with what has been the ongoing debate - which in-state team is the best right now? |

I love that NIU's best season ever has been ruined by losing, quite handily, to, what was at the time, a fairly average Illinois team.

"Ruined"? It didn't change anything then, and it didn't change anything now. We lost our shot at the BCS Championship* week #1. *Down boy (Irish version) - I'm being sarcastic. I wasn't expecting anything more than the Fiesta Bowl this year. |
