Two predictions:

1) Score
2) Will ESPN fufill its broadcast obligation for the game


Huskies win

BGSU 24
NIU 38

ESPN announces 12 days kickoff that Heartland Poker Tour of America will be shown in its place.

Oh wait I guess its less than 12 days before kickoff, has a decision be made yet?

I think it's pretty obvious WMU gets ESPN2, we get ESPNU. Obvious to me, anyway.

We could always get the great ESPN3.com! I have always dreamed of mid-week games relegated to streaming.

a couple of years ago, this would be a very difficult game. This year, NIU by 24.
BG has taken a bigger set back than NIU if that is possible. It is good to see that we can still beat the bottom of the MAC.

Huskies win 27-17. They crack the top 100 on Massey's.

NIU 42
BGSU 17

We continue to roll.

NIU 38
BG 17

Dogs 38
Birds 24

We get called Northern Iowa once, and the clock operator only gets yelled at once for starting the clock before the ref signals him to. There will be one seriously dysfunctional targeting call that gets an important player ejected, and no one will be able to tell what constitutes pass interference. Every 3rd down and short or 4th down and short will be JB up the middle. Which still won't work.

The bigger question is: Will we have enough plump wieners nestled between warm, moist buns and enveloped in fresh condiments, or will we experience another hot dog shortage?

If they run out of hot dogs with possibly only 1500 in attendance, and only probably 100 of which want hot dogs, that will be something.

We need to take these sumbiches to the woodshed after what happened last year. Still a bad taste after the 2012 season as well. I demand satisfaction!!!!! NIU 55, BGSU 30

Yea, you're right about that. They beat us 2 out of 3. They don't have Matty J so let's get them back.

2013

They do have a history of kicking our butts. Huskies 45 BG 21
Time for payback

If you take the MAC standings, and flip them upside down, this almost looks like a MAC Championship game.

NIU - 31
My son-in-law's alma matter - 24

BGSU scores a lot of points and gives up a lot of points. I say we come out on top, 42-35.

From ESPN:

Points For

21.4

117th

So I'd say they don't score a lot.

True, but they've gone with Morgan exclusively at QB since the Memphis game and averaged 27.5 points and 443 yards in those games so they're getting better. They put up 35 and 502 on Toledo.
