Nice to see only NIU mentioned and not another "Toledo is so great and are the obvious favorite" previews.

We are the top football program in the MAC. Have been for the last decade-plus. It's time people start realizing that.

An appearance in the Orange Bowl seems to have that affect. Very cool article.

Exactly. It certainly has changed the perception out there. I love it.

It's really been the last 5 years. You only have to see that NIU has 5 wins in the last 16 meetings with UT. 4 of those are in the past 5 seasons. 2 MACC, 3 MACC appearances, and the Orange Bowl during that period - absolutely great. CMU's 5 year stretch('05-'09) with 3 MACC in 3 appearances was very similar to NIU last 5 seasons.

best feature of article and link for me was entering the old spice swimsuit sweepstakes and a chance to win new speedos for summer.

Well, NIU does have the best record in the MAC I believe, over the past 10 years. The one win against Toledo that wasn't in the last 5 years, was 7 years ago.
