But it's different. It's not like they'd be complaining about Illini or NIU either way since it's not a BCS club -- that would be a better comparison.

I don't know, Todd, are they? I have not spent any time on the Marshall boards, but I have read that a number of times on the NIU forum.

I find it difficult to believe that the vast majority of Marshall fans longed for a matchup against a bottom feeder Big Ten program. I suspect this was posted a couple times and NIU fans ran with it and turned it into far more than it actually should be.

You should probably go to their message boards.
