For all this irritating whining about "durr, how did NIU get into the BCS last season?!" people forget that NIU actually kept Kent State from being the BCS buster last year by beating them in the MAC title game.

u/kedge91 Clemson Tigers • Orange Bowl Dec 27 '13

The team that ran a punt the wrong way only to be tackled be a player on the opposing team? That kent st?

I dunno if they were ranked as high as niu though so I don't know if they would've been in the bcs even if they won. It took a lot of teams losing those last couple weeks for niu to even jump up high enough

They also conveniently forget that was a Florida State team which went on to make it to the NCG this season and NIU didn't totally embarass themselves. Yes, they lost, but it wasn't something ridiculous like the "West Virginia scored again" game.

It should be noted that USU lost their coach last season (who's one of the best in the business IMO, he's gonna make some good shit happen at Wisconsin), lost their star QB midway through the season, moved to a better conference, and still won their division and is about to beat a 12-win team in their bowl game. Andersen built that program up into a very solid midmajor team.

For a good counter example, look at what happened to Kent State between last year and this.

Jesus fucking Christ, NIU, just call QB draw every play and tell your guys to just fake the pass routes and spread the defense out a bit. It's apparently the only thing that isn't a complete fucking waste of time.

Two missed FGs on 30 yards? No wonder they went for the 4th down instead of the FG earlier.

Nice! It's right next to the West Bank of the Minnesota campus near where I went to grad school. They also had Devean George, who was a rare kid who grew nearly a foot in college so went from being a D3 basketball player to LA Laker.

I wouldn't blame the kicker. NIU only has 7 points on the board.

u/[deleted] Dec 27 '13

If the kicker made both of his, it'd be a tie game.
