Easy explanation: They finished in the Top 16 of the BCS (15th), and were ranked ahead of a (BCS) Conference Champion (2 actually, as they were higher than both Wisconsin and Louisville).

That gave them an automatic bid.

Them nikkas won't travel nearly as well as a major conference team will and BCS conference schools can't get automatic bids? :wtf:

i think they'll travel well. small schools that don't make it to big bowls usually pack the place cause they never know if they'll go again

This and as small as NIU is, they have a rabid fanbase so they may show up. Even tho their allotment of tix that they need to sell is basically a sellout in their own stadium. Oh well :yeshrug: more tix for FSU fans who want to go to South Beach. Me, I won't be anywhere near that travesty that I'm expecting

not so fast my friend their game against iowa at soldier field was empty as hell
mac championship past two years empty as hell


but i do agree with you and porcityplaya on the other side about niu will probably never get this opportunity again, thi sis the first mac school EVER to reach a bcs bowl, this is big for teh conference and i will imagine that they should do very well in selling of their tickets

im sure alums will pick up the slack


and well niu deserves it rules are rules, jordan lynch on the big stage, blame nebraska for choking, blame ucla for choking as well as texas, all those teams lost and kent state beat a ranked team in kent state thus they move up:whew:

MACTION

MAC MAC MAC

this reminds me of a few years ago bum ass buffalo finally made it to a bowl game , played in teh international bowl and they were like 20k strong in the skydome i know that wasnt a far journey but fans re rabid

:childplease:

clemson was in the orange bowl last year and ditn even sell their allotment of tickets, same with virginia tech in teh sugar bowl, conneticut a few years ago didnt as well

hell dont you watch bowl games? the majority of them are Empty as hell

for example i remember the bowl game a few years ago the hawaii bowl against tulsa

THE BOWL WAS IN HAWAII at their own stadium and these nikkas couldnt even sell their allotment of tickets

UCF Knights vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane - Box Score - December 01, 2012 - ESPN

ATTENDANCE: 17,635

nikkas wont even travel up the street to see their team, most bowls even teh bigger ones are empty as hell just like how the acc championship, pac 12 championship, big ten championship, mac championship were Empty as hell


hell stanford played at home to ucla for a birth in the rose bowl and it was half filled, if a game aint on a saturday and up the road only the die hards will travel

Well all that is fine bur my point about them still stands. Them nikkas didn't even go undefeated with a worst schedule then every BCS conference team. At least Boise played an elite team or two per year. These nikkas couldn't even beat fukking Iowa. :beli:

they lost by 1 on a neutral field, firstt game of the year iwth a brand new qb

:manny:

beat a 11 win team in kent state, beat a 9 win team in toledo a 9 win team in ball state


like is aid dont be mad at them, be angry at ohio state for being sanctioned,. be angy at ucla for losing to stanford two striaght weeks, be mad at louisville and rutgers for choking down the stretch and falling out of the top 25, be mad at nebraska for getting killed yesterday by llike 34 points
