Northern Illinois In The Orange Bowl

[ukvols]

I was hoping the Cotton Bowl would pair Texas with TAMU. Oklahoma getting bumped screwed that up.

Read a stat tonight that niu will need to sell more tickets for the orange bowl than they averaged in attendance this year.

This is a complete joke but i'm happy for the team.

The orange bowl will look like a regular season Miami game.

Yessir, A&M would run them off the field

I watched parts of 3 or 4 NIU games this year. (I taught there for 6 years).

Happy for the team and program. QB is crazy - Mansiel type though he looks more like a safety. Lost a heart breaker to Iowa or would be 13-0 this year.

Go Huskies!

NIU is giving all its students free tix to the game

If they had gone undefeated, I could see this. Not buying that this is deserved.

I think it's wrong how ESPN says that NIU stole Oklahoma's spot ... In my opinion, NIU is MUCH MUCH MUCH more deserving of a BCS bid that 5-loss Wisconsin ... give me a break.

The good news for OU is that the Cotton Bowl will be a huge draw.
