[QUOTE="85Escape, post: 818849, member: 3560"] [USER=5718]@Huskie73[/USER], look. I'm not trying to be disrespectful of the NIU program. And there is a chance (about 15% if you believe the numbers) that you guys surprise us. But let's all be honest and say that it would be a surprise to most of the college football world. It would be a VERY bad sign for our program. While our record of 3 wins might seem pathetic, please don't forget that it includes three losses to CFP-calibre teams last year (Clemson, ND, UGA). So it's fine for your fans to say that you think you could steal this one. But to pretend that this is an easy win (as it appears on your boards) and that we are at the same level as a program is what is causing the visceral reaction on the board here. Are we rebuilding...yes we are in year 3 (sort of) of a change of schemes. But the talent level difference between the programs is large and getting larger. Nope, we aren't a Tier 1 program yet. But I think this year we make the move back into a T2 program that has been our history much of the time since our 4th National Championship in 1990. I wish you guys well for the rest of the year. But I expect we put a beat-down on you this Saturday night. 42 - 17 [/QUOTE]
