Who woulda thunk it before the season started? We were supposed to fight each other for the MAC West title.

I think CMU will win, maintaining its dominance over the Huskies.

When does the NIU depth chart come out?

Probably Fri or Mon. But don't count on it being accurate.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we call this the Bowl Elimination Bowl?

NIU - @&$?
CMU - £%#!

Chips by 3 because, karma. 34-31.

We can’t and won’t throw the ball so it makes us super easy to defend. I can’t believe we are reliving this nightmare.How can we be so inept in the passing game? I feel so bad for Tuck and Rutk. WMU 31, NIU 10.

Yep. All CMU needs to do is load the line for an automatic win.

CMU - 38
NIU - 17

The sad thing is that we may have 2 decent QBs on the bench who can pass. But, they can’t do it sitting on the bench.

We have been speculating if Rocky is going to go for medical redshirt and play next year, which I really hope is the case. After the long layoff between games, is it fair to say if he does not dress for CMU it confirms he is coming back next year?

I can see the articles now; "From worst to first, then back to worst; NIU's last three seasons"

Worst to First to Worst to First in 2023.

Beating a dead horse, but this season doomed by injuries to key players, mixed in with some questionable coaching decisions. To finish it off, virtually every 50/50 type situation has not gone our way. A perfect storm has creating a crummy year thus far.

Let’s now run the table and grab a Bowl win & on to next year!

You are absolutely right about injuries, but it's not like those players are going to be around forever. Those coaches should have all back ups up to speed and ready to go. I am not asking that they should be extraordinary, but they should be able to hold their own when called upon. I chalk that up to coaching for not having the heir apparents ready to go. And if they cannot do the job, then they have a bad depth chart.

We were in every game except the disaster with Toledo, and Hampton did a pretty fair job. We lost to Kentucky by a TD.

Th defense finally showed up and kept teams to under 50 points, but then the offnese slowed down.

Still have faith in Coach, but he's make some head scratching decision this year.

We are 4 point favorites.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!!!

GAME TIME TEMPS IN THE 50’s AND LITTLE CHANCE OF RAIN!!,

CMU is not very good and have to go to DeKalb. It's really a pain in the a55 to play in deKalb especially if you are not playing for anything. It's cold, windy and the Huskies are leaning on you all night. Not a fun experience. Huskies will win. Lombardi listed as starter and Lynch as backup.

I predict that I'm not motivated to make the trip.

NIU 28
CMU 24

Hard to make a prediction with our Huskies. I'll go with:

NIU: 24
CMU:17
