Sounds about right to me!! 05-stirthepot
All means little except to hang something on the board in the KSU locker room. Thanks!
You need extra motivation while playing for a conference title and possibly a BCS bowl?
It does not hurt further it takes away from the possibility of coming in too confident.

More motivation is a good thing especially for a team that loves feeling like they are being slighted.
This should be a high scoring game. Archer on turf in doors could be the difference. I predict Kent St 56 NIU 52. This will be a track meet. This should a classic. Two 11-1 team that have won 10 or more in a row. MAC has its title game with BCS implications.

NIU has the 15th best defense in the country (17.5 per game) and you think they're going to give up 52?
I dont think there has been this much traffic on this board this late in the year since I joined. Im loving it, now if we could just repeat this for basketball and baseball season!!
Spread down to 4.5. That was fast.
Going down 2 points so quickly means people are putting their $$$ on Kent State, I expected that but not so soon.
I was thinking the spread would be about 4 points so the change isn't too surprising to me. Should be a good game.
I don't think this is last year's MAC. The scores in the sixties and fifties aren't happening like they did last year. Some teams actually played defense first.

6.5 was definitely high. Frankly, I see this as a "pick em".

Line back up to 6 in most places. I can take a guess as to what happened. Rankings came out Sunday night with Kent ahead. Public sees rankings, bets up Kent St. Sharps wait for the line to lower a bit and get NIU at -4.5 - -5.5, instead of at the original -6.5.
