What a win. Way to show those Big Ten snobs!

Sad to say, the way the MAC has played recently, the entire conference belongs in D-1AA. Believe it or not, the Huskies are among the best teams in the conference. That being said, the MAC has got to get it's act together and start beating these BCS schools on a consistent basis.

@usarmy NIU is D-1 and plays in the Mid-American Conference alongside WMU, CMU, Toledo, etc. We're a program that, for the most part, has done really well this decade. We went 10-2 in '03 (a year in which we were ranked as high as 10th in the country), and produced such NFL stars as Michael Turner, Ryan Diem, and Larry English. We slipped in 2006 and 2007, but have started to come back the last couple of years.

I visited a Purdue message board the last few days and I think the Notre Dame fans are more likely worse than the players in terms of cockiness. They sure have some attitude! What I would give for Northern to beat them!! We have tons of Irish fans here in Chicagoland and the drive me NUTS!!!! I think Purdue will give them a much tougher game than many believe. If Washington can beat USC, there is no reason why Purdue can't beat the Irish. Good luck to you guys. I'll be cheering for you!
