Should be a great game!! (from a Herd Fan)
You all have a great team. The disgust you saw earlier on Marshall boards was because this (the bowl game) was going to be our one opportunity to play a P5 team this year, and fans have been anticipating it all year (regardless of how the year went).

If you go to the Marshall boards now you see that the tone has turned to "NIU is for real". We have not proven ourselves (haven't gotten the chance), and you all definitely have our respect and attention.

Look forward to the game!!

This is not how it works. Oversensitive posters from both sides cherry pick posts from dumb people and other people have to harangue them until they give up.

All the respect in the world for the Marshall program. I think it will be an excellent game. You guys wear all green, we'll wear all red. Can't wait until kickoff

Herd1, I was hoping you ran the table and was surprised you stumbled. Should be a great game.

Yeah, I can't deal with nice, rational, and good-sporting. I've been punching little kids in the balls for weeks on the off chance their parents are Western Michigan MAC Message Board posters.

Best of luck to you guys.

Regardless, it's Miami at Christmas time & it's college football. These are great days we're livin', Herd Bro.

The others on your board are not getting over this matchup. I guess they didn't hear that in 2012 we played FSU in the ORANGE BOWL. We were in that game for 3 strong quarters & did not get blown out.
Thanks for the post. Should be a good game 04-cheers

Classy post. Thank-you.
Marshall had a better season this year then NIU.
Hope this game draws a huge TV rating and lives up to the hype.

I knew this was going to be bad, Marshall fans are not exactly a model to follow, we are in for a long two weeks. All I ask is that they keep the rifles in the closet.

RE: Should be a great game!! (from a Herd Fan)
I wasn't hoping Marshall would run the table unless they beat EVERY team by 20-to-30-something+ points, counting a "stumble" as not winning by much against their best opponents. Why? If they were going to beat NIU (or Boise) for it, I'd want them to Demonstrate they're upper-level P5 quality -- not "well, they're undefeated though, so...". Personally, I wanted Boise & Marshall to stumble enough for NIU to go. But if not, I did NOT want the potential of seeing a P5 crush a G5 in a bowl.

Marshall's a real team -- a good team. They've showed their weaknesses the last 3 games. They shouldn't be so mighty & proud -- they should fear NIU due to their history and seemingly getting back on track in a solid way at the end of the season.

But Marshall fans shouldn't be butt-hurt about Choosing NIU over Illinois. Here's why it was a SMART MOVE:

(a) It's a 6-6 B1G team that's a basketball school. That's NOT going to impress voters or media over NIU. NIU gets more attention of being a more powerful football team.
(b) Illinois is actually on their way UP in the last 3rd of the season. Marshall hasn't played up to formidable par. Losing to Illinois would be a real possibility -- and it would KILL more than losing to NIU. In some ways, Illinois is the G5, NIU is the P5 in the eyes of college football media/pollsters/etc.

If they wanted to play the Flailing Ill-ness - THAT is beyond hilarious! Illinois is a joke in football & everyone in the country knows it. Playing them would be a death sentence LOL

Playing a P5 team may not be all they would expect it to be.

Especially if Illinois won. They did somewhat improve the last 3 games.

Their boards just keep getting better and better. Its as if they legitimately thought they would get an invite to the NFL if they played Illinois. Can't wait to roll them over in a couple weeks.

My whole thought set is "who the f*ck do they think they are"??? Last I checked, Marshall hasn't been some national power house and this is the first time they have won double digits wins in 5 years...5 YEARS I SAY?! Yep, the same 5 years NIU has WON DOUBLE DIGIT GAMES...

So Marshall fans, shut your mouths, stop b*tching, and go get your f*ckin shine boxes

Illini beat NW because the Cats backup QB turned the ball over like 12 times. I hear he's transferring to WMU.

Illini have been silently better in the last third of the season. They beat Minnesota who's Good this year, and Penn State... while winning @NW scoring a lot of points. Their new QB and a good receiver are the reason. But yes, NW has had potential to be better than they were that game. They have a lot of injuries, etc. And they started the season playing pretty poorly too -- just not a great team.

Marshall shouldn't want to play Illinois -- a loss would hurt much more than losing to NIU, as Illinois is the lower-name and unknowingly a bit better than people think -- while NIU is NIU and has a name in football.

The HOD bowl is ranked as the #37 most appealing of #38 bowls with the current matchup hah
