Forfeit? Kicked out of the conference? These things are getting ridiculous.

The MAC is the stupidest and worst conference in the history of college sports. I hate it so much.

This is awful. Please no more cold windy games in a weeknight. I can’t stand this crap
Every maction game against WMU we pass for less than 30 yards because we are playing in a frozen wind tunnel. No more maction for crying out loud

This was 2010 game vs Toledo. That team isn't much different than this team on the field tonight. Listen to he crowd. Look at the crowd shots. Not even close.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI3jrBb566Q

WMU freshman QB was able to pass effectively in the wind tunnel. If NIU is going to become a championship team they cannot be one dimensional even in bad weather.

If it makes anyone feel better, the Toledo-BG "rivalry" game is a ghost town as well. BG is 2-8 but that's probably the biggest conference rivalry​ game. Thanks MAC

From 1966 to about 2016, I missed maybe 10 home games, if that, that's 51 seasons. This year I missed all 3 weekday night games. Look what this has done to me, and I was one of the most loyal fans. This has so damaged NIU football, to the extent that it may never recover.

I remember discussing this back in 2013 or so - the opposing QB always seems to be able to handle the wind in Huskie stadium better than our own QB. Although in this case it was probably playcalling as much as anything else.

It was absolutely brutal out there. I was sitting there tonight in my three jackets, long underwear and flannel lined pants thinking that I'm pretty much done with this garbage.

I could only stomach the east side for one quarter tonight and then had to move to the west side where the wind was a little bit less. That fourth quarter was tough but a fun game nonetheless.

Wasn’t 2013 WMU but it was bad. I still think Ball State was worse Last week.

Yea, last week was slightly colder, at least on the West side. It was interesting watching the wind knock down some of those punts.

And frankly, before Beebe dropped that punt, I looked at the flags in the northwest end zone which were sticking straight out and thought, it's going to be tough to catch, I'd be okay with letting the ball go and taking your chances.

Your account really needs to be heard by STF and NIU/MAC administrators.

Starting with Ball St I’ve gotten into the bad habit of watching one possession and then hanging in Chessick.

There needs to be a boycott (even from the most loyal fans) on a weeknight game.

Yep, already is. I would love to hear Frazier’s thoughts on it. If it is even an option, what the future of weekday games looks like, how he feels about them, etc. I want to support football but these hurt my football spirit, nothing against the team and players (i feel bad for them playing in that in front of few fans on a school night)
