Are you seriously trying to compare this current jalopy of a team to the great NIU teams that Costas references in this awesome piece on NIU?

Man, your devotion to selling the Coach Carey agenda knows no bounds.

Yes, this Costas video was made in light of a top 15 national NIU Orange Bowl team. NIU is currently top 60.

NIU just won the MACC is and is going to a bowl for the 10th time in 11 years.

There have been some setbacks but yes, it is still a great time for Huskie football, especially in light of the lack of resources for the team. They do a lot with a little.

This jalopy is f'in glorious to me! Just hope the ol girl makes it to Boca in time!

I believe since 2000 NIU has only had one season with a losing MAC record - 2007. And that was the year with a boatload of injuries.

It must be miserable having to put yourself through watching NIU football. How sad.

This Jalopy of a team is a MAC champion and boasts an All-American, and two potential NFL draftees in Sutton Smith and Max Scharping...say what you want about Carey and his 5 play playbook...but we are winners

I don't care if this NIU team is ready for the demolition derby. The range of emotions from very frustrating to pure joy has been amazing. All the close games kept me engaged as a fan for better or worse. Then the last game just wow. Keep it going Huskies in Boca. Can't make this one and we travel to Florida plenty. Wish I was going.

It's true... you guys just get it done. Year in and year out.

You're not flashy, you just win. You're the anti WMU/Toledo essentially.

Nice. A buddy of mine played for WMU back in the 90's so I've followed you guys and pulled for you, except when you played NIU, of course.

You saw what PJ did for your team, what with BCS bowl and all, but for the long term, do you think he was good or bad for the program?

PJ was the definition of flashy.

I randomly found that video on YouTube last night and I totally forgot how awesome it was. That’s why I posted it.

I wasn’t comparing the success of this year to then.

My god you people are miserable lol

What were the "Glory" days? When we beat a 4-9 Alabama team (That also got lit up by a Hawaii team at the end of the season). Carey is super conservative, but hey, we got within 7 points of knocking off #1 Ohio State. We also kept Ezekiel Elliot from running into our end zone.

There is just something fake about your reactions. Seems like you are trying to make a point to those who question Carey, and I think people get it

They were ranked 22 when we beat them Beating Alabama at home is a great thing, no matter who you are.

Carey prevented NIU from winning that Ohio State game

Many ways to look at it...So what are your thoughts on the 2006 OSU game that Joe Novak coached?

They beat a ranked Maryland team too. Although it was an out of conference game so I guess it doesn't matter.

I am not smart enough to know if this board was available in the 90's. How many would be calling for Novak's head in his 3rd year? Now he is a legend and rightly do. Yes I realize that this is not Carey's 3rd year. He was handed a successful program etc. He deserves some props. Mostly this team deserves props for what they did. Remember the Petibone led Huskies who ripped a ranked Fresno State team on a beautiful Saturday afternoon
