Too late. I've gone too far. Now go get me some Kleenex.

I'll wait for official word before losing it. This is worse than a double overtime situation in a championship game because it lasts so much longer. I have been on pins and needles all day. I just won't allow myself to celebrate based on rumors and projections. It would be too deflating if things do not go our way.

This is very similar. I really really hope for this, but I've been a Huskie fan long enough to experience the big screw over and over again. And no, It's not a fantasy screw. This type of screw hurts. I say hold on until multiple sources confirm, not project.

Those were Fox news experts. Not very credible sources, if I may say so myself. Same with CNN.

If they don't after this post, I'm going on a shooting spree! Go MAC!

Um, probably NOT a good thing to say on the NIU board. Just sayin'.

I only see the one inside scoop, although it is being plastered everywhere. Would love for another reliable source to chime in.

All the players are tweeting about it. Pretty safe bet lol

Unreal. We finally get a BCS bowl and we STILL have to play on Tuesday night. :domokun:

Carl Rove says not so fast.

And now CBS sports has changed it from NIU in the Orange to Louisvile. This is crazy.

Well, the kleenex can be used for multiple purposes -- crying, or for use of extreme manish joy & extacy for the first MAC team going to a BCS Bowl!

There was no way this was staying a secret until 7:30. Many, many other bowl bids hinged on this. Everyone behind the scenes of the Universities and bowl games already know the official results. The wheels are in motion for all the other bowl bids now.

Look for an announcement about Oklahoma. They're the one we're competing with.

Hello Coach Carey. Your first game is the Orange Bowl. Awesome.

OH MY GOD!!!!
