No one beat Vandy.

Yes, the MAC is really, really bad this year. But we are really, really good.

there are some bad MAC teams but the level we are winning leads me to believe we are pretty darn good. This team just goes out and takes care of business. They truly play one game at a time. Even the Big Ten always has 3 maybe 4 bad teams each year. An amzing comment by Mark Lindo is that we are redshirting 29 players this tear. Also, the fact ea play 65 players makes us a very healthy and deep team. There is an air of confidence not cockiness that surrounds this team. Well Huskies

I never thought I would see NIU have such a great regular season.
This is not the MAC of 2004 or even 2003, but it might be the best MAC since then.
The MWC and the WAC are better than us this year both have 2 ranked teams.
Looks like the MAC is about to receive one top 25 ranked team.
This must be the most offensive points scored in a regular season by NIU in Div 1a.
Congratulations Captain Jake Coffman.
Thank-you for returning.
Without Jake this may have not been possible.

2004 started with a bang and ended with a wimper.
2010 started with a wimper and ended with a bang.

Im pumped!!! Anyone wanna meet our macw champs as their bus gets back to dekalb???

What a dream season!
As Frank Sinatra would have said, the best is yet to come.
Detroit here we come.

Anyone doubts we will beat our third winning team this year in Detroit?
I have every confidence, that our team will not be over confident next week.
We are the Champions!

Do we know what time they'll be getting back?

I left the office at halftime and was reading this thread on my blackberry on the train. Very funny stuff, guys. Made the hour go much quicker.

According to a team manager I know they should be back around 9pm

He just loves it.

Get out there and welcome the guys back!

Attendance reported was just over 5,000 at EMU. I think that's probably one too many 0s.

EMU overestimates by about 3 times, so Im guessing there was 1500 without seeing the stadium

CBS postgame show of Auburn/Albama showed highlights of Kent's victory and then went onto show the MAC West and east standings saying Miami-OH would face the Huskies from lovely Dekalb, IL! Pretty nice mention!

Where the corn stalks reign supreme, they said. If our game had a proper video feed we would have had highlights.

From what I saw the attendance was in the 100s. The road crew boys will have a better idea, however.

It was a very nice post game summary of the MAC games right after a huge audience watching the Alabama Auburn game

I thought it sounded to me that they were making fun of the MAC and DeKalb. The reference to "lovely" DeKalb and "the cornstalk" thing was a slap in the face.

I didnt take it like that.
