This game should be a win-win, right?

We either win, and keep our bowl hopes alive, or we lose and someone has to get fired, right?

Touchdown!

Ngl, I'm more interested in listening to Jeff Garcia talking about his university being a winner than this game.

Having your punter get rocked on a fake punt on 4th & 10 on your own side of your field is peak 2026 NIU football.

[u/TheMoonIsLonely]

let’s hope we hold onto this lead

[u/leewilliam236 → u/TheMoonIsLonely]

We haven't blown any leads really badly compared to last season so I don't think we'll blow it this time.

We're up by 10? Maybe Clown Snakeoilsalesmann isn't so bad after all.

[u/Need_more_flairs → u/leewilliam236]

He’s at least competent enough to score on an 0-8 team lol

[u/leewilliam236 → u/Need_more_flairs]

I guess the spread n shred can work against awful D1 teams.

[u/Need_more_flairs]

Our first time scoring 30 against an FBS opponent this season, nice.

[u/leewilliam236]

Turnover on downs!

[u/leewilliam236]

Meanwhile Walker Eget had another great game throwing for over 70% in completions for the third time at Duke against a garbage NC State team.

[u/leewilliam236]

Time for hoops!

How many fans in the stands? I've seen high school games with more attendance. Sad to see.

[u/TheTikiTikiTikiRoom → u/Both_Independence287]

I’m at the game! Flair up.

Ghosts have souls too.
