Conference results do matter to some fans and coaches. Joe Novak always said the goal was to "Win the MAC", which he ironically said again before NIU was to play Alabama, with the assumption that NIU did not have a chance as a 14 pt underdog....
I will take a MAC title and a bowl blowout any season as opposed to say a 5-7, 6-6 season where NIU does not win the MAC , but does win a bowl game.
The odds of NIU going 5-7 or 6-6 and get invited, let alone winning a bowl game, are pretty slim. Is it really too much to ask to win the MAC and then manage just one win in every three or four bowl appearances? Seriously, are you and the fans who place so much value on conference results not the least bit upset over six consecutive bowl game defeats?
The offense we run sucks. The qb we have running it sucks even more. It does just enough to do well in the Mac, but mostly gets us destroyed out of conference vs a good team. Until we get a real offense and a real QB I don't expect too much outside of Mac level wins
I would never say that a college athlete sucks. Childers is limited but he is a fierce competitor that is giving everything he has to give every single game. I do think that Santa was the better QB but that is on the coaching staff.
