Looking at the NIU scores this year, it may sound crazy to say Toledo will crush you Tuesday. On the other hand, Toledo beat Arkansas State who has a shot to go 9-3 and win the Sun Belt without letting them score an offensive TD. We've played in 3 close contests this season. For one game and a half Toledo looked brutally awful and still won those games. I could see the game being close or Toledo's D getting it done and making NIU look like Puppy chow.

Not many fans want to predict that because it's been 5 years. Those other years dont mean a whole bunch with the talent and makeup of these teams tho. 5 years for Toledo means we are hungry and ready to show the nation why that Number 20 is in front of our name. When we play BG we will have to fend off a hungry Falcon team that believes they are every bit as deserving as UT.

Non Rivals - Love each other.
Maybe we are a rival now.

Toledo has not won a game in this series for 2000 days, when they string a few together, MAYBE we can open up the rivalry talks again, until then , its not a rivalry its a domination.

Coach Novak established this rivalry.

Playing against a ranked Toledo team is the first in 15 years.

We are playing for the unofficial Gradkowski-Lynch Trophy.
It is worth allot more than the Bronze Stalk.

Novak got his butt kicked pretty consistently by Toledo.

Pretty sure Novak lost every time but Jerry Kill won with Novak players. Jerry Kill players have been excellent too. It will be interesting to see how Carey's players perform once the legacy players graduate in larger numbers this year.

Joe beat Toledo once, in 2005. Then we gave up a hail mary to piss away the MAC Championship against Akron.

Uhh all of Kill's players are gone and there are only some Doeren players left. Most of the team is already made up of Carey recruits.

God I hate Toledo.

yeah, enough with the "these aren't his players". Kill's players are gone. And Doeren's players were also recruited by Carey! This is his team.

It is hard to hate a team that NIU has beaten five years straight, 6/7 and 7/10 years.
Then again the painful 14 game losing streak since Homecoming 1989.

Toledo is NIU's arch FB rival but no reason to hate them.

And their drinking water is disgusting, their city sucks, I don't like their fans, and our school is better. Toledo sucks

We were rated top 10 in the country in drinking water at one time. Then some algae stuff got in it and made all of our players turn into the Hulk.

NIU's got that country well water! Nassshty

Wow, that's impressive. I'll make sure to wipe my a$$ with that stat sheet after we crush you on Tuesday.

Updating a previous item:

2015: NIU 1-0 in November.

I'd come up with a better fake name than that. But he owes me a nickel!

Having said that, I do think that 6 year period of domination combined with a motivated talented Toledo team, could result in an ugly result Tuesday night. My one advice for NIU fans "Don't panic if NIU loses 49-14, its one game, and not necessarily indicative of a larger trend".

The NIU winning trend continues.

I know...

Paul Myerberg: "Northern Illinois hasn't lost a game in the month of November since Nov. 27, 2009. Almost six years, 19 in a row." I knew we played really great in November, but not that great! He should send that to ESPN; that is just the kind of thing they would love to start the broadcast off with! On second thought; that may jinx us!
