Congrats BobCats, you played well and deserved to win. You have a good team and are going bowling for sure.

Not to be picky but it was 38-31. That was a fun and seriously nerve-wracking game to watch.

Wild game that went back and forth. The pick six late was the difference. Ohio secondary has made play after play this year.
The game lived up to the hype as the best in the MAC this week. NIU likely will get a bowl too. They are a solid team. 4th down stop in 4th quarter was critical. Ohio stuffed the run today made NIU throw it.

I am pretty disappointed. Man 'o man 'o man..........

Congrats to Ohio. Good game but very disappointing outcome. I just get the feeling that a bowl game just isn't in the cards for us this year. I know all the "lots of bowl games" stuff. I can just see lots of upsets coming along with at least one more MAC team getting to 7 wins. I can see the conference picking an Ohio team over NIU again.

Not to jump too far ahead, but Friday's game between Temple and Ohio is going to be very good. And it's even on TV!

No offense but since we just beat you and will end up with the same or better record than you, they had BETTER pick us over you!

Even if you lose to CMU, 7-5 will get you a bowl. Listen, I know you're down right now but last year NIU and BG were both 6-6 and NIU got the bowl bid. The "an Ohio team will get a pick over NIU statement" doesn't make sense.

It never did. A MAC team that does not win -8- games has no reason to b**** about bowl games.
