And there's the stupid Finley throw

That's what makes it annoying. Now can they do it again next week

Wish it were common and not a pleasant surprise

It was a glorious three minutes

Aaaaand it's gone

Oh crap Akron leads. Color me wrong, I guess

Ah crap CMU has an insurmountable lead

I'd bet money Patrick is using his redshirt.

Dumb in the classroom. Dumb on the field.

Offensive genius works in mysterious ways

Speak for yourself. I'd still rather see what Roggow could do

Wonderful

I wouldn't touch that line with a 10 foot pole. CMU is more than capable of letting the Zips think they're competent.

Unsure, but likely negated with lower travel in the Horizon League.

Maybe not a financial disaster at all.

True. The "Cleveland market" that Akron would similarly give isn't going to be as lucrative.

The question I think will be interesting to answer (and part of this is difficult because the MWC probably won't want Akron)...how much will NIU's financial position change with this move? Is there a similar move for Akron to consider, if they're going to insist on staying FBS? That part seems difficult because NIU was somewhat attractive due to not being a terrible program every year.

So probably not. But they're a lot closer to popping an FCS playoff berth every now and again than they are to an FBS bowl game.

That's what the question is. Is the FCS money lost on the dozens of TV dollars made up by having more than 1400 people show up for the two November home games?

Honestly, I debated whether FCS or Division 2 was the better call.

Oh for sure, the time to move to FCS is well past

Ok Roggow wasn't anything special in this one, in limited work, but...this season is shot. Time to see what he has.

Ah ok. That could be it. Maybe he tried working it during the warmups and it didn't go. Roggow in now, which is probably a mercy killing for Johnson.

I had to step away for a bit, what was the delay for? Ah, injury. Hopefully the Toledo player is OK

Well, I guess now is the time to make sure we give them credit for beating Duquesne. Wouldn't want to be too critical when they play a team with a pulse, after all.
