NIU burned on the first play of the game. UAB 7-0.

MAC Champs NIU playing like chumps. Down to UAB at halftime 27-10.

Wait, the MAC is crapping the bed in the postseason?

I am so shocked.

It's almost as if the MAC sucks.

This is the NIU team we beat, right?

Hope this doesn’t happen to us....

This was not a good matchup for NIU...

Typical Rod Carey postseason showing. Dude is now 0-6 in bowls and we've looked like poop in all of them.

At least we have four more years of mediocrity with him at the helm. Thank you Sean Frazier!

The conservative play calling inside UAB’s red zone was atrocious. My God, UAB had nine in the box twice and NIU ran straight into the middle. Settled for field goals twice.

For awhile there I thought maybe Jim Bob Cooter was running the offense for NIU last night.

Well, we can't throw the ball apparently. But our QB is only a sophomore. Maybe next year.

Maybe next year? Sounds like us.

Yup, just a third year college player with 22 starts at QB. Yet every freshman QB we face puts him to shame.

Rod Carey, time to move on from Marcus Childers. Get it through your head already that he is not any good!

fyp

UAB is one of most physical D1 teams in nation. Even Texas A&M coaches were impressed.
