The MAC looks bad this year. We should be competitive in all games the rest of the way. So…there’s that.

This felt a lot like 2011 Wisconsin and 2014 Arkansas. Both years we won the MAC lol. Not saying we will but the league is bad and still a lot of season left.

Felt a lot like the Arkansas game. They just dominated us that year and the team overall was good.

I have a solution.
If we start referring to ‘soccer’ as ‘football’ like most of the world, NIU Football no longer sucks.

The Arkansas and Wisconsin games sucked, but it was NOTHING like today IMO. I’ve never seen a Huskie team and staff lay down like they did today. What did they do, let Michigan score a TD on their first 8 possessions!? If Michigan’s scout team wasn’t playing the 2nd half they would have dropped 90+. Im just still so disappointed about today, especially with Hammock’s comments after the game. He played to lose the game, just like 7 said. Im not one for moral victories, it would be nice if the coaches and players were pissed off instead of saying they will learn when they play teams more like them? Ha wtf?
These comments drive me nuts:
“We played three really, really good football teams,” Hammock said. “That’s the reality, right? For us, we have to figure out how we match up against people who are similar to us. We have yet to see that.”
Seriously!? We played 3 good teams, let’s see how we are vs crap teams????? What? Lol

Only Michigan could be considered “not similar” to NIU. In no fooking world was Wyoming or Georgia Tech “out of NIU’s league” as this statement implies.
That statement is more embarrassing than the clusterfook that played out on the field today.
I’m with you on this.

Right. Why even play P5 teams or other G5 teams from other conferences if the only “similar teams” are a FCS team in Maine and MAC schools?
It’s like all the big talk from Hammock week 1 about being the tougher team and going to GT to win went completely out the window. All the confidence and swagger was completely gone. He went to Michigan to get his ass kicked and it showed
Logging off for the night, obviously i haven’t taken this loss well haha

Hell of a way to earn 1.5 million for the school. There's got to be easier ways to raise cash.
Sucks big time but forget about it, move onward. I want this season to have some fun in it again, I hope we're competitive against Maine and MAC schools, else what's the point.

Let's look on the bright side, this season the MAC is currently 2-13 versus P5 programs. It would only be us if WMU hadn't won today. Plus the MAC is 1-5 versus the SEC thanks to us.

I’m really worried about Hammocks ability to be a head coach. Every compliment about how great he’s recruiting is just an indictment of how bad he’s coaching. I’m done with the “youth” excuse. That’s a 2020 crutch.

Was the NIU loss the biggest loss by points today? And was Michigan’s 63pts the most scored today?

Maybe it's a dumb question but what website do people use to find out all the college football scores? Every place I look I get nothing but top 25, maybe a few others. Why is this so freaking hard?
