Watching on TV, it is the 2018 MAC Championship game. I still have it saved on my TV so that I can replay Sutton Smith's last sack in that game. The way he came flying out of nowhere to bring down Tyree Jackson. That was a thing of beauty.

That BG game was underrated. Fantastic game. Beat Urban Meyer - after the game he said that the team was intimidated coming into Huskie Stadium with how loud it was. Might have been the first time I remember thundersticks at an NIU game, but I could be wrong.

For me, the 2003 Maryland game and just experiencing the Orange Bowl (tailgating, seeing NIU take the field, seeing our end zone painted with a BCS emblem next to it, TLL shimmy on the sideline, our TD - never will forget that experience).

The BGSU game in 02 was the birth of Thunderstix, wasn't it? I wish there was a MAC Network to reair that game. Would be awesome to rewatch that one.
