NIU talk starts around the 20 min mark

Bielema was very respectful to the huskies (although his facts are a bit incorrect) but at the same you can tell in this press conference [/b]he is not at all concerned about the game Saturday[b]

Why should he be? Last time he faced us was with Wisconsin in 2012 and we got crushed 49 - 7 with a team that won the MAC. If we want respect we will have to earn it Saturday.

Russell Wilson ain't walking through that door.

Did Russell Wilson play defense too?

NIU is just as good if not better than Louisiana Monroe and Rutgers was those games. Arkansas is also better than then as well, but I'm sick of this defeatist attitude that people are acting like NIU is rolling into Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa.

Quote:Also. Yall was very sloppy in the second half. UNLV tied the game with 9 minutes to go in the game. Huskers answered. Down by seven UNLV drives the field, is on the Huskers ten yard line and throws a int. Huskers clinch game with a late td.

I don't have to watch the game to see how it played out. If you commit penaltys against us in Fayetteville , it will be a wrap.

Quote:Huskers....Huskies....who knew?

If you expect me to sit here and give the HuskerUskies credit than you can think again.
You haven't played a team like ours yet, and won't for the rest of the year.

Nope, I only said Bielema in that press conference you can tell does not really respect NIU or fear NIU for this game. I have to say its pretty amazing that a coach would talk about an opponent two weeks from now and even mention the game time for the game 2 weeks from now. Anyone find that a little odd? After seeing this press conference, makes me wonder if maybe there could be a little bit of a look ahead to Texas A&M. I know it may not matter if there is a look ahead, but still, did anyone else get that feeling watching it?

Arkansas is a top 25 team, I don't care what the poll says, they are a better team than the team NIU beat in Tuscaloosa in 2003, by a long shot.

They're good, but they aren't a top 25 team. Id say like 35-40. They kicked the crap out of an FCS team, and a tech team that will be 7-5 at best.

They play in a division with 5 top 10-12 teams depending on the poll. They're good, but they've got a long way to catch that division.

I think Arkansas goes 5-7, which will be misleading because the schedule, but they aren't quite top 25. Not good enough on d yet and don't pass well enough yet. Next year they will be top 25.

Well that's definitely true about Tech, that defense is real real bad. Central Arkansas cut through them pretty easy.

Who gives a **** about what other fans think of NIU? Stop.

If you knew our local media, you'd know he's probably been asked about a&m non stop since it is our next SEC game. Our media looking forward is our media being dumb, and also fishing for something to write about. I am confident that Bert and the team understand that this is a game they could easily lose if they aren't prepared. NIU has a recent history of playing some really really good football. The last 2 years we've played some really bad football. There's no reason to think we're ready to start looking past any team.

If you watch that press conference and think he's being disrespectful, I think maybe you're just looking for the worst and fitting it into an agenda.
