Their is absolutely no way I can lose this over now.

Chi_archie · 11-05-08, 10:03 PM

oh ok... it was the middle of the year i see

Dbldown11 · 11-05-08, 10:03 PM

no Tennesee was like 5th or 6th week...Tennessee had the scoring fest with UCLA first game of the year

luffy · 11-05-08, 10:03 PM

Why am I not surprise that NIU ran the ball yet again?

B/c Tenn had no offense and I believe the game was in Knoxville, Fla ST plays in Tallahasse

luffy · 11-05-08, 10:04 PM

OMG, is the QB draw and running plays their only offense? If so, this game can end now.

Dbldown11 · 11-05-08, 10:04 PM

probably because it's early in the 3rd quarter and if they just start airing it out, it wont be good for any of us NIU backers

Tenn offense was really shit at that time... hard to believe its better now but it is. NIU is getting picked apart poor DBs

michiganstatefan · 11-05-08, 10:08 PM

Thank you NIU defense for securing my over 47.5

Dbldown11 · 11-05-08, 10:10 PM

lucky stop on 3rd and goal from the one keeps slim hopes alive

mmike032 · 11-05-08, 10:10 PM

Ball ST coach has some class at least he's not gonna run the score up

luffy · 11-05-08, 10:12 PM

NIU needs 2 TD......Next 3 plays for NIU, run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, and then punt. Book it. Im gonna go get something to drink now.

saddestbison · 11-05-08, 10:16 PM

Hey They Threw The Ball

michiganstatefan · 11-05-08, 10:16 PM

Some of the worst play calling ive seen on offense all year

Dbldown11 · 11-05-08, 10:18 PM

why is it that NIU's corners are never near Ball St's Wide outs?

teaserpleaser · 11-05-08, 10:18 PM

nice tackle....

bigboydan · 11-05-08, 10:18 PM

Another TD

pimike · 11-05-08, 10:18 PM

wow what an ass kickin

St. Andrew · 11-05-08, 10:19 PM

Have I ever seen a team collapse so thoroughly as NIU? I can't think of when.

bigboydan · 11-05-08, 10:20 PM

That call better not get reverse.

Lack of pass rush... its the reason all these MAC games go Over the total. we'll that and lack of talent and bad tackling.

bigboydan · 11-05-08, 10:22 PM

TD

michiganstatefan · 11-05-08, 10:22 PM

That dint take long

Dbldown11 · 11-05-08, 10:23 PM

I mean seriously.....these wideouts are WIDE open every play

diehardfan · 11-05-08, 10:23 PM

bigboydan · 11-05-08, 10:24 PM

Their is absolutely, positively no way I can lose this over now gentlemen.

thesnowman · 11-05-08, 10:25 PM

to those that picked up over 42.5 at halftime

luffy · 11-05-08, 10:25 PM

WOWOWOW, I goto the toilet and then to the fridge and Ball St. has a TD? NIU might as well forfeit. Their Defense SUCK BALLS. One of the top Ds in the nation? Did the main guys quit or something? Either way, thanks for your writeup Dbldown11. I owe you one.

Just gonna throw this out there but I bet just under elevendbillion US dollars on the Lakers -13.5 at home against the paper Clippers. I'm not saying it's much of an indication but the Lakers just beat the Clippers away on 10/29 117-79. If they can win by 38 away I'm banking on them winning by 14 at home, Got about 3-4 min to bet
