Yeah, it is. This matchup should have never happened, and I realized that as intriguing as it was before the game started that it was only intriguing in theory. In practice, it sucked, and it became obvious within a quarter. My hat is off to NIU for surving a barage of punches and not going to their knees, those kids should be proud of themselves. But c'mon, that was a horrible football game because one team didn't have a chance. How the score wasn't 100-0 is beyond me.Freed Roger wrote:If NIU had any semblance of a defense....
they still would have lost.
And pretty crappy that their hc doesn't stick around for significant game in the school's history. NCAA football is so very screwed up.
edit - also, did you see the empty seats? I've never seen a big bowl game with so many empty seats. ANd what seats were filled many were vacated after halftime. I've seen that at some HS games where the band parents all go home - that seemed to be what it was like. Those shots from the blimp were not good. They list the attendance at 72,000 ... so that means that stadium must hold 120.
