Fwiw...I'd want no part of that NIU team. Not in the Swamp, not in a neutral place... No thanks. That was a tight team playing some solid football. (Not that ND was impressive).
Okay, so yeah, maybe I just wanted an excuse to mention that SWAC lost to GaTech and/or that they’re 0-2 and on a three-game losing streak despite acting like they were a playoff team. Forgive me.
They tried to screw NIL twice, BS spot of the ball on 3rd down of NILs final drive and then didn't run the clock when they should have. Notre Dame overrated again. They shouldn't be ranked after this, they play nobody.
Leprechaun tears are flowing through South Bend right now. Northern Illinois had never beaten a top 10 team before. Congratulations to those guys, well done!
Northern Illinois had never beaten a top 10 team before. Massive win for their coach and players. Leprechaun tears are flowing in South Bend
Like seeing the Golden Helmets lose almost as much as seeing the Noles lose. Gotten such a pass over the years.
I was the same until my son’s best friend and kid I coached in youth ball transferred there from Duke. So now, I have a conflict when watching.
With every major upset so many teams get happy. Don’t forget 12 spots this year which is just INSANE!
Officials did all they could to help ND win with a terrible spot of the ball for NIU, the most spineless official review ever and an unconvencing snow job by the NBC crew. All three the worst I've ever seen. All you have to know is the number 5. It college football today. NIU would have to do more to win the game than beat ND. Too much money at risk.
