They did lose to Western Illinois and the WIU QB threw for over 350. The Miami OH QB threw for over 500 yards against them. Micheal Turner for the Heisman!!!! Go NIU!!
bg
bg
may not have 11 defenders healthy on the defensive side this week....horrible defensive injury situation....no kidding

lol I just realized something...Iam in Cleveland and the MAC headquarters are in Cleveland hmmm perhaps I should go yell at them and say get rid of these losers like Eastern Michigan and bring in Youngstown St!
As far as BGs D...man your right, its thin with ZERO depth. I figure a good ground attack will beat BG. The more you run...the more Josh Harris stays on the sideline.
For NIU - Iam still boggled on how they lost to Western Illinois. Maybe they got blowjobs before the game and just didnt give a shit :lol:

New contract near for MAC boss
By Alan Schmadtke | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted October 22, 2002
With a job offer from Conference USA politely declined, Mid-American Conference Commissioner Rick Chryst is close to agreeing on a new seven-year contract with the MAC.
The new deal would keep Chryst in the Cleveland-based league through 2009, sources in the league office confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel.
Details are still being ironed out, but the long-term contract will give Chryst the chance to re-position the conference in college football's postseason picture when the Bowl Championship Series hammers out its new system for the 2006 season and beyond.
"I just feel really good about where we are as a league right now, real positive about the direction of things," said Chryst, who makes $175,000 under his current contract. "It's a great job. It really is."
Chryst, a 41-year-old graduate of Notre Dame who holds a law degree from Duke, took over at the MAC in 1999. He previously was an assistant commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference, specializing in corporate marketing.
This summer Chryst was approached by C-USA about its vacant commissioner's job. He declined on offer to replace Mike Slive, who left C-USA to become commissioner of the Southeastern Conference.
C-USA on Monday named Britton Banowsky, a Texas attorney, as its new leader. Banowsky has been an associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference for the past six years.
In the wake of C-USA's interest, sources close to Chryst said, the commissioner gathered opinions about the MAC and its future relationships with the bowls, the BCS and television partners.
BCS commissioners have begun holding preliminary conversations about the makeup of the next round of its system. The MAC, one of five Division I-A football conferences that aren't BCS "partners" or members, strives to change its status in some way after 2005. Chryst and leaders of the four other non-BCS leagues also have begun meeting to find ways to strengthen their collective position as BCS outsiders.
The MAC also is getting ready to negotiate a new TV deal with ESPN.
Chryst's new deal comes from MAC presidents. Sources said the league's presidents are delighted with the league's increased visibility, with the success of its men's basketball tournament and with the corporate partnerships Chryst and his staff have engineered.
Chryst is also credited with convincing Marshall to remain a MAC member and with orchestrating UCF's entry into the conference as a football-only member.

well I think I know why Northern lost to I-AA WIU(who is currently Top 10 in 1-AA polls)
From HuskieDan...
For the Huskies, of course our coaching has been questioned...I mean why else could we possibly have lost to 1AA Western Illinois?? It couldn't be because they're a good team (currently top 10 in 1AA) or because their QB played amazingly with a chip on his shoulder (we recruited him, he snubbed us waiting for the "big boys" to call, and when they didn't we had already gotten our QB committment), and it couldn't be because we just didn't play well (we were also missing our major defensive catalyst, CB Vince Thompson
That Vince Thompson fella he`s talking about...that brotha is going to the NFL. He`s the best corner Ive ever seen in the MAC since the days of when Blaine Bishop played at Ball St and gave Ryan Huzajeak (Toledo QB) a MONSTER hit and knocked him out of the game.

This isn't a play for me, but if I had to take a side in this game my lean would be with WEST MICH +2'
Here's why... Last 4 games...(#4 = most recent)
~~~ Northern Illinois (4-0 SU / 4-0 ATS) ~~~
1. v KENT........win/cover +1 ATS
2. @ Ball St.....win/cover +9' ATS
3. @ Mia,O......win/cover +15 ATS
4. CEN MICH...win/cover + 40' ATS
~~~ WESTERN MICHIGAN (1-3 SU / 2-2 ATS) ~~~
1. v VA TECH....loss/no cover -8'
2. @ Buffalo.....win/cover +2
3. v UCF...........loss/no cover -3
4. @ BG............loss/cover +14 (ot)
This game opened at a PK.
These matchup stats smell.
Kinda like a bar room hooker smells at 3 in the morning.
And the opening line looks too good to be true.

Thought I would post before I head out to my meeting...
Reasons for me taking Northern....
People dont know this...but Joe Novak is probably the best coach in the MAC. Yes better then my beloved Amstutz and Urban Meyer. He always has his guys ready to play and whats more impressive is that he is doing it without Thomas Hammock. Josh Halbi is doing very very very well reason because of the running game. Now, Western HAS TO respect the running game of the Huskies...which will open the middle of the field for the passing game. Western dont got shit to play for really. They are out of the MAC running.....they lost a heartbreaker to BG in OT, where they suffered a few injuries I might add. Northern is coming off a blowout win and the moral in Dekalb has to be higher then high.
As far as people taking Miami(OH)....I just cant see the Redhawks stopping our dominating running game. We run the ball...we keep Big Ben on the sideline.....
Adding Akron +21

Not bad 3-1....listening to the Toledo game over the net was very frustrating. Turned the ball over on downs twice in the redzone and then a fumble in the redzone...
However, Central Michigan did ALMOST pull the upset
