Solid MAC team? I think that's up for debate. Mediocre MAC team is more like it.

OK, Chipdip.

Watching this years NIU team play, they just looked uninspired and lazy. Maybe they got rattled when Hare went down and lost some confidence, I don't know. Sure Graham pulled off wins against WMU and Toledo, but again we looked god awful in those games too. I remember at one point in the WMU game their TOP was 30 mins and ours was 10!

Sorry, but I don't subscribe to the mentality that the coaches were "put in a difficult situation" and are therefore absolved of all accountability for how the team performs.

We play poorly: Carey sucks blah blah blah
We play well: it's a fluke!

Anything to fit your narrative...

Solid MAC team? I think that's up for debate. Mediocre MAC team is more like it.

OK, Chipdip.

This loss definitely set our program back in terms of national perception, without a doubt.

Not that it's any solace but at least it took place with our 3rd-string QB in there, and one that was still recovering from injury. Not that anyone will remember that part of it other than NIU fans.
