Dang, that is one hell of a great shirt! I want one! Selling this shirt would be a great fundraiser for the Diesel memorial.
That is a great idea! I wonder if there would be a way to sell them at games. If I was close enough to go to the games, I would set up a table during tailgating.

If it isn't officially licensed, they won't let it sell.

I wouldn't have been nervous. I ALWAYS maintained NIU had a chance. PJ McBoatrower would never have the oars to get it done.

Well PJ is now Engaged! So maybe that adds two more oars in the water to paddle against OSU. :)
Maybe there can be a spin-off of this thread's aim -- "What Dumb *** will you do if WMU somehow wins on Saturday". Maybe for anti-PJ fans, wearing a PJ-Fleck shirt would be a good one for the NIU vs CMU game! :)
I will say this though: If OSU doesn't get their offense act together, WMU does have a chance. BUT, after NIU pushing OSU to the edge, WMU's chances of winning are more slim of course. So I would think the "what would I do" would have to be even edgier.

Didn't WMU just give up 400 yards rushing to Georgia Southern?

Yeah, they ran all over us. And our O couldn't go anywhere much. Thankfully due to the correction during the stomping of Murray State, and with some guys healed a bit more, we'll be playing better vs OSU than GA-Southern. I'm sure OSU's going to do what the announcers were saying OSU should have done vs NIU -- just pound the ball.

OSU did try to just pound the ball.....we stuffed them.

It's hard to stop that kind of offense (GS's) with one week of practice. I was surprised WMU couldn't score more though.
OSU did pound the ball, despite what the announcers kept saying. But you don't get first downs by getting 2 yards up the middle. Anyway, the NIU defense's weak spot should have been the pass defense - so they tried to pass.

Wasn't a bad decision to pass, but I think getting into the 2nd half it was more of a "We got this. I mean, we have 3 QBs who played awesome to bring us to the Nat Champ last year!"
I think the main key was that they didn't just pass when they had to. Or they'd run W/E too much. Against WMU, I think they're going to just throw their star RB right up the gut on us and do decently well at "Sticking to the basic run".
HOWEVER, OSU has a QB thing to figure out. So WMU's hope is that OSU still does what they did against NIU. They won't be as sloppy, but hopefully they won't be good.
