Includes the clip of Boise's final play TD to beat OU in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl.
What a great trick play. We should totally run that in the Orange Bowl....

Well, the poll asked "CAN we win" not "WILL we win".

I thought Lynch looked a little slow and worn down against Kent State than we saw him at the beginning of the year. Did anyone else think that. However, he should be well-rested and at his best against FSU.

+1 I thought that when I watched his highlights from the beginning of the year.
He came up slow several times in the MACC.

Yes...his initial burst was not there...although he seemed to pick it up in the 2nd half of the MACC. I think the rest will do wonders for his body

He was sick. Had a bad cold at EMU and it morphed during the week before the MAC Champ Game. He'll be fine.

We thought he was sick. Someone said he had the flu that week.

Who cares who votes for us? Seriously. I don't get this.
If you're an NIU fan and you need the media to validate the Orange Bowl for you, you're doing it wrong.

Sorry 7, we're all new to this "a$$hole arrogant BCS school fan"-thing. I figure once we go to the Sugar Bowl next year, most of the NIU fanbase will be able to photograph our ballsacks resting on the forehead of a passed out opposing fan or poison a tree like we've been doing it for decades.
