Congrats Zips. You guys really have our number this year. I nominate you guys as our next "Toledo" since we beat them this year. I am thankful that we don't play you every year. I just wanted to add my two cents about Ford Field. You guys probably have a better opinion of the place since you won, but I am trying to not be influenced by this. As far as I am concerned the place absolutely sucked for a football game. I wanted to tailgate before the game, but we quickly found out that that wasn't going to happen. We went to the Eastern Market to try to tailgate, but we realized that that wasn't going to happen when there was nobody else there to tailgate and it was in the middle of the ghetto. You cannot tailgate around Ford Field and Comerica Park. Our Toledo friends that we were with showed us a mud lot about 3 blocks from the stadium where they may tailgate for Lions games, but again there was nobody there and it was scary being the only people there. We were at Hockey Town following our expedition around Detroit, and while it was a nice big bar, it was ungodly expensive. $6 kool aid long islands, $8 24 oz CANS of beer! I guess that is what you should expect from a downtown bar when the wings are playing. As far as Ford Field is concerned, I will admit that I was in awe with the place when I got there, but that quickly changed when the game started. It was my first game in a dome and I am now convinced that FB should be played outside no matter what the weather is like. I would have much rather seen my third game at the Rubber Bowl this year than to see the game at FF. I really like your stadium. The RB would ROCK if you guys ever filled that place to capacity. Several people that I have talked to described the game as like watching a movie at Ford Field. I agree with this analysis. It didn't seem real to me. Also the place got WAY too hot by the end of the game. I can only imagine how hot the players were. Some snow falling on my head would have been a relief. Once again, congrats Zips, you deserved that win. Enjoy your return trip to Detroit. Make our conference proud with a OOC win. Just play better than how you did against Army (I was there)

Isn't that a NCAA recruiting violation?

Hey Zips fans, I wanted to invite you all to come join us for a pregame tailgate at Ford Field before the MACC. Tailgating is not allowed at the stadium so they have a separate lot for tailgating called the Eastern Market. I will have my Huskie Bus in the Lot. http://www.detroitlions.com/photos/Parking_Map_05.pdf http://www.fordfield.com/section_display.c...&top=92&level=3 I expect us to be there 3-4 hours before the game and would love to hang with some of the Zips faithful. NIU has a reception, but at $50 per head I would much rather do my own thing, have a lot more fun and save some $. Hope to see you there, should be a great game.

Very true Bullsh*t. A Northern loss in this matchup would be devastating especially since you guys finally got to the MAC title game. And the last time you have been to the MAC title game?

Thanks man. I will have it in Detroit on Thursday. Hope to see some of you fans out there.

Hats off to you man.

Very classy man. BTW, we still can get a bowl game if we lose, you can't. We have no more pressure to win the game than you do. I believe this game will be very different than our first meeting (which I was at). See you on Thursday.

Do you guys think that you will outdraw us in Detroit? You are 100+ miles closer to Detriot than we are. I personally can't see that happening.

So you are saying that NIU would bring 4,000+ less fans to Mobile than we did to California last year for the SVFC last year? Think again man. I would say that NIU would bring 5K or so to Mobile for the Bowl. No way Akron brings that many down there. Excitement is at an all time high for Huskie Football.

You will not be eligible for a bowl if (or should I say when ) you lose the game. You will be 6-6 on the year and you need to have a winning record to be in a bowl. I see you getting the MCB if you win on Thursday.

The Huskie Bus will be there.

Congrats guys, you deserve to go to the MACC after you got screwed out of a bowl game last year. You needed a second tiebreaker (I think) , but in the end all that matters is that you will be playing us in Detroit. Our team will be ready for you guys. I am not trying to be an a$s, but our team will be fired up for this game and it may get ugly. Payback is a Bitch! See you on Thursday.

It was a pleasure meeting you three. I'm glad you had fun. Best of luck the remainder of the season! Nice meeting you as well. I wish the best for you guys as well. We need the one MAC team that beat us this year to bring up our SOS.

Well, we took care of Can't State before I headed over to Akron for the game. I tailgated for a couple of hours at Akron with my NIU flag up in the tailgating lot. I would like to thank Campbells for being there! Despite the weather the atmosphere was good for tailgating. I am not going to go into details of the game, but with no disrespect intended, after seeing you play yesterday, I am shocked that we lost to you guys. It was a brutal game yesterday.
