Email, tweet, call, etc. SEAN FRAZIER! He has done a terrible job..

Go Huskies! Beat CMU..

See thread on enrollment decline RedDog and/or send Sean enough $ to buy Carey out.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carey's contract ends 6/30/19. That's the time to do it. No buyout. But, I do not believe it will happen.

This year just win the MAC. I think many of you will lov a macc come December.

You believe we will see improvements on offense next year?

If Carey is coach, the offense is not improving. It's as simple and clear as that

The answer is not every team we play the rest of the year will be a Power 5 team. At Utah, Nebraska and Vanderbilt next year. Illinois State the only home non-conference game. What happens then?

I'm already looking at plans for the Vandy game next year. Will be one of the best NIU away games in a long time. Downtown Nashville flooded with Huskie fans. Can't wait

+1. Vandy is going to be a great road trip.

Heading over to the MAC board, fans seem to have NIU ranked anywhere between 7 and 9 in the conference power rankings. I understand all of us are down about NIU, but with a defense that good is it fair to say NIU is in the bottom third of the conference?

not even close... Utah & Iowa would beat 95% of the MAC by 21+. Yes, Childers looked awful, but having Tears back will make a huge difference. Again, we've been playing with a backup OT at TE and a majority of freshman with no to little experience at WR vs 2 quality P5 teams. We are going to be fine.

If Childers even plays as well as last year we should be better than that.

And the MAC will understand that at about 5:30 today.
Huskies by 4TDS at least.

I tend to agree. I think its reasonable to have NIU 3rd or 4th right now, but not 7th to 9th. People have lost sight of the concept of level of competition.

Right now though, just reading over there, CMU seems to be one of the few teams less regarded than NIU. I think to flip some opinions again it would take NIU coming out of Ypsi with a W.
