Can Illinois State pull the upset?

If they do, does UNI travel for the playoffs?
Or do they even MAKE the playoffs?







This thread brought to you as a courtesy to the board UNI-tards.

Man it feels good to still be in the playoff discussion...

UNI is eliminated with a loss to Il. State.

Weber State will make it at 7-4 before UNI does, IMO.

Unless UNI lays an egg in Normal, I dont see how they lose...ISU is improved, but not to the level of UNI

Don't count your chickens, clenzy. You guys shit the bed here, and playoffs are "bye bye".

I said it still feels good to be in the discussion of playoffs...unlike some other "Nothern *state* Universities"....

I dunno, there's a good chance that "Northern Illinois University" shows up during ESPN's bracket announcements.

(get it? "bye bye")

Listen here, Credit Union Craig, stay out of UNI's business and just worry about UM winning a first round game against real competition! That auto-auto only gets you in the playoffs, not past the first round!!!

Get it?

Got it?

Good!

Northern Illinois University is 7-3 and probably heading for a bowl somewhere. I doubt they are worried about brackets.

t'was a joke of sorts.
last year, before the selection show ran, ESPN ran the FCS playoff pairings on the crawl at the bottom (I believe some basketball game was running long, which pushed back the selection show).
Anyway, on the crawl they announced: "Maine at Northern Illinois"

That they did. During basketball last year UNI had one of the longest winning streaks in the nation, they showed a graphic but but NIU and the Husky logo


ESPN is going to shit themselves when UNI hosts NIU in a couple weeks in basketball

Cap'n Cat says

UNI 23
Crimson Crows 10

They will really shit themselves if SDSU ever ends up playing San Diego State in the future. They struggle with that as it is.

Hey, Slim, when's the bus rolling into the stadium? We'll be tailgating behind the south endzone somewhere. D1B will have clobbered six mouthy ILSU fans and as many bottles of wine by gametime.

leaving in a half hour...i will keep this thread updated from my iPhone...noon kickoff 60 degrees and sunny in Normal today!! Got my Sicilian Sausage and corn casserole packed and ready to go

game is on channelsurfing.

Great time with Cappy and D1B and pantherrob

uni punts on their 1st possession

A sack forces an isu punt

Uni punts again, winning the field position battle

Hooked the laptop up to my 47 inch tv, and watching it there. If only channelsurfing had sound with the feed...

Yeah, that's a really bummer. Oh well.
