Sometimes things like that don’t matter at all.The rankings are based on the product. The Sentinel's rankings don't matter, but then the Athlons and other "don't matter" either. This bullsh*t narrative you have regarding NIU football is continuously proven wrong each and every year. When will it stop? RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - NIUfilmmaker - 06-28-2018 12:48 PM I think in the 60-70 range is 100% fair for us as we sit right now. Nice to see a media outlet giving us a fair and reasonable grade, instead of sticking us in Mac-land to see if we battle our way out. #respect RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - MaddDawgz02 - 06-28-2018 12:49 PM (06-28-2018 12:19 PM)RedandBlackAttack Wrote:(06-28-2018 11:15 AM)MaddDawgz02 Wrote:(06-28-2018 08:49 AM)Rabid Squirrel Wrote:(06-25-2018 03:31 PM)PrideinthePack2 Wrote:(06-25-2018 02:20 PM)MiamiHuskie Wrote: The rankings are based on the product.

Since he obviously cannot coach offense, why not just delegate ALL responsibilities to someone else.

Instead of attacking others, can both of you argue logical reasons why you do not think NIUs offense will have problems this year?

That’s pretty much the middle of the pack. There’s 45-50 G5’s worse than NIU and maybe 15 or so P5s. +2 I'll bite. Why will the offense not suck? For starters: we have an nfl lineman (Max Sharping will be drafted next year) leading a pretty solid and experienced OLine, probably the best Oline in the MAC. next, Harbs is as good as any back we have had in the last few years a bulldozer & Jones is adequate. Next, our Qb is better than last year, even if you are not a Childers fan, there is almost always an improvement from Frosh to Sophomore season by virtually all players. Lastly, people are in a panic about our WR's but last I checked, Tears , brown and Wesley were all starters last year and are ALL returning. RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - HUSKIEFOOTBALLFAN - 06-28-2018 11:33 PM They rank Toledo ahead of us. RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - HUSKIEFOOTBALLFAN - 06-28-2018 11:36 PM Is Kentucky really ranked # 71 and #69?

That's to be expected. If Toledo is not ranked ahead of us, it is not a normal year. I expect Toledo to be ranked in the top 10. We all know they are the absolute best at every position. RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - Djud - 06-29-2018 09:09 AM The biggest issue I have with this article is not including Pugh and Cochran as Key Returnees, they will be difference makers this season. On the plus side we have the Freshman POY returning. On the down side, almost half of his total TD passes (7 of 16) came in two games Ball State and Bowling Green, both of whom were horrible last year. As stated numerous times, Childers improvement (and health) will determine the success of the season. Maybe as important as his passing will be his improvement in the running game.

I'm equally concerned about who could replace Luke Shively RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - huskie1stdown - 06-29-2018 10:35 AM (06-29-2018 08:02 AM)Dog Fan Wrote:Don't forget the MAC Media day.(06-28-2018 11:33 PM)HUSKIEFOOTBALLFAN Wrote: They rank Toledo ahead of us.

LOL RE: Orlando Sentinel countdown - IWokeUpLikeThis - 06-29-2018 02:38 PM I believe NIU was initially ranked ahead of Toledo, but the loss of Connor Schneider flipped the two in the rankings.

Either that or Barksdale transferring.
