NIU vs. Kent

I know you guys are probably as excited as I am, but somehow we have to make it 8 more hours until game time.
If Kent wins, they are going to the Orange Bowl. If NIU wins plus gets help, plus gets a little lucky, they could go too.


1. NIU victory tonight
2. Stanford victory tonight
3. Kansas State victory tomorrow
4. Voters do the right thing on Sunday and not mysteriously drop NIU a couple notches on Sunday

I totally agree with all of the responses so far.

Think we can talk BigFan into opening up the chat for this game since there is so much interest?

Pulling for K-State tonight. Fan of the MAC, so good for the conference to get a team into a BCS game and they are much more likely to win.

At least log in as NIU Huskies or Hootmon so it looks like you're not having convo's with yourself, Spanky. :wink:

They are 6 point underdogs.

Spanky,
Why are you not getting blasted at Cheli's chili right now?

Good luck to NIU. I look forward to my team beating a team that went to the Orange Bowl next year.

Phrased that wrong. Easier path to the BCS with a win.

I'll be watching.

To me, it's like the Combine for the CFL and I love that kind of stuff.

Alright, I thought that was my role.

Good luck to NIU. I hope they make the Orange Bowl. I will make no further comment on NIU Football for the next 12 hours or so.

I can't even afford to get in the lottery for the hope of ND tickets (through ND).

I was kidding. Fire away. I can take it better than most.

Remember how exciting it was when Illinois was on the verge of a BCS bowl?

That's why I only root for teams with small fan bases.

The bright side is that tickets to the 2020 Big Ten championship at the Georgia Dome should be easier to get.

I am pumped up for this game tonight. This will be the first MAC championship game with both teams ranked in the top 25. The best college football team in the state of Illinois has a longshot chance to play in the orange bowl, but it might be difficult to get into the top 16, which they need to be in order to get into a BCS bowl game.

NIU 38
Kent State 28


GOODBYE KENT STATE!

GOODBYE KENT STATE!

I hope NIU wins and they play against a Big East team so that the teams no one wants to watch get quarantined in a single bowl

And they might have made it if Fitz had just punted the damn ball to them.

Any team that lost to a 4-8 Big Ten school does not deserve a BCS bid.

Or have GT beat FSU in the ACC Championship and have a 7-6 team play NIU. Works with Kent State too.

Hope you're not paying attention to who is potentially going from conferences like the PAC and the Big East then.

I did, but seem to have lost the link. NIU grad and I find them entertaining to watch. I will be looking for the chat tonight.
