Not sure what Toledo was doing but as they ran onto the field but every player went to the east endzone and knelt on one knee. Does the whole team pray prior to kickoff? I find praying on the field a little much.

Well, some pray, some do other personal tributes, it's all in respect for the game they play. But yes, before every game they do this.

It worked.

Would have been great if our people running the game could have coordinated this with the moment of silence for John McDougal. So bad.

Why do you find praying on the field a little much? Just curious

Maybe we should try it. Probably work better than listening to the coach.

Maybe they can start praying for no injuries next year. Geez.

Our players would probably pray for a new coach.

So will the fans. Maybe we should take a two-minute timeout for prayer prior to the game so we can ALL pray for a new coach.

I noticed two players for NIU who weren't dressed to that knelt during the national anthem.

I wonder what the NIU fans' take is on this. I for one am tired of seeing this act of protest. I get that they may be upset but that is a lousy way to protest. It's too bad it's trickled down to the collegiate level. Stupid Kaepernick.

I don't have a problem with it. If you want to kneel silently go ahead, if you want to stand silently go ahead, just don't cheer throughout like those idiot blackhawk fans....
