This weeks game is between two bottom of the barrel programs fighting for last place in the worst FBS conference. This may be the second time in three seasons NIU finishes in last place in the MAC. The program is about as bad as it has been in a long time and anyone thinking otherwise is nuts. Hammock is making Rod Carey look like Nick Saban.

Sadly my thoughts too. I hope I am wrong.

FWIW, it is mathematically impossible for Akron to finish anywhere other that alone in last place in the MAC, so looks like we won't get that "second time in three seasons" you're concerned about.

NIU is bad but you still only get 1 win for beating us.

48 degrees and a 41% chance of rain.

HuskieWire article says that Tucker doesn't know if he will get to play in the last game as a Huskie due to his injury.

That’s too bad. He’s had a terrific career.

Put the pipe down, we're a season remove from the MAC Championship. We had injury prone year that damage all chances of defending. We have at the very least above average line play with a QB WR receiver tandem returning healthy we will challenge for the title and go to a bowl game.

We have to balance the last two seasons - over achieving with overly injured. There’s a truth somewhere in there. We also have to objectively analyze the recruiting and coaching. NIU will be competing for the MAC West next season. But NIU will also be a team that should be ranked around 80-90. We have a chance to to win the MAC bc the rest of the mac has dropped down. NIU didn’t rise up. Hammock still has time to prove his recruiting and coaching chops. But that time is running out soon.

Expected high of 51 tomorrow.

Sounds like a perfect Saturday afternoon for a football game. Can't wait to be one of the 350 in attendance. Go Huskies!

The MAC west champs lose again. This Conference is becoming more of a joke

It has been a down year for the MAC, but not sure how parity within the league would make it a joke?

Everyone in attendance should be able to get one of the jersey giveaways.

Me too!

I’d love to know what STF will be thinking watching his 3 win team play in a completely empty stadium.

The Turds aren't even that good this year and will probably lose the MACC. If we had 3/4 of last years team NIU would be the west champs, but coulda-woulda-shoulda.

Ohio will put up 50 on the Rockets in the MACC

Huskies will win BIG and everyone plays. Akron has a new coach in Joe Morehead, he is an offensive guru, but has a lot of work ahead of him

Why can't I find the game on TV? Anyone? THX
