I think it will be better than it would have been had NIU won.... Maybe 12k? Noon, black friday, no students, everybody is working or with family?
56 degrees and rainy isn't the worst thing in the world?
Hopefully the rain is more of a drizzle/light rain that comes & goes and not the weather we had for Stony Brook!
I really hope that someone at the University is contacting every possible student organization...we are still largely a commuter campus, so there is still a chance that a good student turnout could be coaxed!
16900, would be great if people really understood what could happen if we win out and Navy loses.
I'll say over 16,000 if no rain. 12,000 if it's light. IDK if it's pouring. Oh, and UT wins 45-27.
Which scenario is worse - we lose to WMU and don't make it to the MACC. Or we win Friday, go the MACC and lay an egg in our quest for 7 straight against BG. They stop the streak and win a conference championship playing in the MAC Least. They have had such an easy road to the MACC that it makes me sick.
From our standpoint, as long as we are not beat up, we have played a tougher schedule and won em all except the one we laid an egg in. Please, no repeats of that performance - ever again.

If we beat WMU and lose to BG we're 1-1. We lose to WMU we're 0-1. I don't worry about BG- they WILL beat us again SOME day. But I don't think 2015 will be the year.
There is no such thing as a worse loss, especially late in the season.

Better to have played in the championship game and lost than to have never played.
Although the Rockets have never won a bowl game at Ford Field they have never lost a MACC game there either
MACtion rears it's ugly head in my universe again. Traveling for the holiday. If it was on a Saturday as it should be, me and my family would be there with bells on. Groan.

And belts off, to accommodate the additional Thanksgiving poundage.

I believe we have won at Ford field. Didn't we beat Cincinnati there?

Taylor ran wild and Boyd? broke up the potential game winning TD pass. Aretha sat two rows in front of me.
