MAC Championship: Kent St vs NIU Gameday Thread

[swarthmoreCY]

good for them.

Better yet, good for you, the one man NIU PR department.

[cyclonefan15]

So how sure are we that NIU or even Boise State still won't sneak up into the Top 16 of the BCS rankings?

cuz NIU lost to iowa and boise st has lost twice.

thank u.

NIU and Kent State are near Iowa State in the computer 1/3 of the BCS.

Voters think the MAC is AWESOME for some reason this year. Computers, they think ISU has as much business in the BCS as these two teams.

NIU to the Big 12??? HAHAHAHA. Power conferences are just fighting each other for that valuable DeKalb TV market. And no, they do not bring the Chicago market. Hell, Northwestern barely brings the Chicago market.

I'd say 75% of the city is Bears fan zombies who don't know there is non-Bears football in this universe. Then Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State make up the next 20%. Then some Iowa and Wisconsin fans, then Illinois and Northwestern account for about one tenth of one percent combined.

NIU doesn't bring this market at all, but they're much closer to Chicago than Illinois and much easier to get athletes into than NW. If they could improve facilities and not lose their coach every three years they could become the next "BCS buster" like BSU, Utah, TCU were.

You funny.

They hardly ever play the three power conferences SEC, Big 12 and Pac 12. Let's drop the joke that there are more than 3 power conferences.

The MAC did quite well against crappy BCS AQ conferences like the Big Ten and Big East this year. Ball State beat South Florida and Indiana. Ohio beat Penn State. Kent State beat Rutgers. Central Michigan beat Iowa. Western Michigan beat UConn. Toledo took Arizona to OT on the road.

You funny.

Why is the MAC's competitive record against the Big Ten and Big East funny? Are gravity and math hilarious too?

Coping mechanism.

I personally find the pythagorean therum hilarious.

well, Iowa State would beat both.

They'd beat NIU 7 out of 10 times and Kent St. 9 out of 10 times.

I don't watch a lot of MAC football but that game was pretty exciting. I can't believe those coaches only get $300-400K.

The attendance at the PAC12 championship game was pathetic.

[bowlfan912]

that game shouldn't of been that close. Lynch is a beast!

[aauummm]

I personally find the pythagorean therum hilarious.

Were you trying to use the word "theorem" in a sentence?

[jdoggivjc]

I personally find the pythagorean therum hilarious.

As do I.

The Pythagorean THEOREM, on the other hand, is serious business.
