We opened as 17 point favorites over BGSU. We need to load it up, payback for the MACC that cost us the Access Bowl.

I thought NIU fell off the cliff, BGSU is worse. How bad are they that a 2-6 team is a 17 point favorite?

The defense turned things around with the young players and Maddie has provided spark for the offense. If the coaches could help this team instead of getting in the way we'd be 6-2. Hopefully we can still win out and make a bowl game for Maddie's sake.

I was a little surprised last week when we were 21 point favorites. We dominated so I'm not surprised this week. MAC has been unpredictable this year but BGSU has been consistently bad.

Anyone going to be in attendance at this game?

I'm going with a buddy of mine.

This game could never be payback for the MACC, even if the Huskies won by 80. BGSU has no hope of winning the MACC this year, and they are heavy underdogs for this game, so it would be hard for the Huskies to rain on their party. Last year, the Huskies could have been MAC champs, if not for BGSU. This year, while it may feel good to see a team wearing similar uniforms to last year's BGSU team getting destroyed by the Huskies, it will be forgotten long before the 2015 MACC.

If the Huskies win this year's game, it will put them on par with EMU and Miami, OH. Ooooo!

Might as well just forfeit so the players could watch the Cubs game. No one would even notice.

Five of us going. The weather is going to be fantastic.

I have 7 West side tickets available for nothing if you can pick them up in the Oswego/Yorkville area.

Only 3 of my 8 going.

+3 or 4

I'll be there.

I will be there, probably watching 1Q at the most, then leaving to watch NIU / Cubs on TV. NIU favored by 17 points, this game has the making of another blowout like the Buffalo game.

Why don't you just watch the Cubs game at the Huskies game on your phone?

Going +2 tonight. Cant beat this weather for a mid week November night game! Of course the cubs being on the same will damper that. Classic bad luck for NIU. But remember people, the important cubs game is on tomorrow night! The best thing that could happen tonight is just staying alive until tomorrow. Come to the game and celebrate and NIU and hopefully cubs win afterwards

I'll be there. I have to skip my sports journalism night class to do it, but I think the professor will understand. So I'll be one of the tens of students there.

I wonder if there will be many at the game who watch the WMU - BSU game on their phones. I'm sure all the PJ lovers will.

Ya think he'd give extra credit for you to attend the game.

Yea the Cubs could lose the series tonight, they can't win it. Might as well watch the NIU game.

I'm sure there will be millions across the country tuned to ESPNU to watch the Huskies. Our game will be MUCH more exciting than the Cubs game. I'm even expecting a few million more than watch the WMU - BSU game. Thank God they didn't stick us on ESPN3!
