I'm predicting a curb stomping. WMU 48, NIU 11

I hope not ... NIU has been in many games this year and I think that we win this at home. I have no idea what the margin will be but I suspect it could be low scoring perhaps NIU 20 and WMU 13.

I will be listening in from Central Ohio on the Varsity App as Bill Baker's tenure is rapidly coming to a close and watching on ESPNU on mute. It is easy to synch up the audio by pausing whichever broadcast is ahead of the other.

I am thinking it’s going to be closer than that. If it isn’t hammock should be ready to take some time off.

4321 for attendance.

Listening to Baker on varsity app and watching on Espnu. Baker called games are a premium to me now. Otherwise I might have taken a pass on the game.

I like your optimism but doubt that many. Crazy too with how warm it is today and last week, actually enjoyable to watch outside. I'll be there

It is so hard to predict how our Huskies will do from week to week (and even quarter to quarter). But, with it being senior day and bowl eligibility on the line I think we'll be in the game. Even though I have my concerns about pulling it out at the end I'm hoping we will either pull out the W with a game winning O drive or a D stand!

No matter what I'm behind our team - GO HUSKIES!

It's nice out now while sun is out but it gets dark at 5pm. With DeKalb winds it will be chilly by gametime. But at least no cold rain.

I'll reverse the numbers, 1234

What's the over/under on NIU turnovers?

Somehow NIU is favored by 4.5, I don't see a win here though.

31-23 Broncos.

I'd like to see the seniors, especially Rock, go out as winners. Rocky was the real deal in 2021 but has had a rough couple of years.

Wow, the crazy thing is my prediction is:

Huskies 31.5
Broncos 27

I really wish Rocky had made that pass. Good drive and stalled out.

Well…that’s how we kind of do it. Waste time. Don’t score. Couple ugly plays. Kind of the season in a nutshell.

WMU is busy jumping around on the sideline and blasting a rap song right before opening kickoff. They seemed way more pumped than us.

Great throw on 4th down.

Good to see Dane Partridge making plays. His dad is a great guy and one hell of a player
