There is something to be said for the sheer level of hideousness that is Western Michigan's attire this evening. Just in case the super-shiny faux Notre Dame helmets weren't enough, they've added the oars to the jerseys. At this point I'm surprised they haven't just changed the team nickname to the Boats or the Oars or something!

Meanwhile, NIU's no-name QB completes less than half his passes, they trail by 5 going into the fourth quarter, they get doubled up in time of possession…and they still win.
It must be nice to have a coaching staff that doesn't micro-manage everything and knows what they're doing.

What these midweek MAC games have shown me is that we have fallen way behind in coaching and caliber of players. Good thing Eastern I in the west because they are the only team we can beat

How about their uniforms when they played us? Brown logos on brown helmets. You couldn't even see the logo unless the light shined just right on them. Why put a logo on the helmet at if it isn't going to be visible?

I am beginning to dislike NIU as much TSIB. I am now going to call NIU TSID.

I admire NIU's football program. The reason I don't like IU are the arrogant fans of one of the worst football programs in the country for the last 140 years.

Niu is the program Pete should be worshipping, not OU.

If IU loses to PU I think IU will bring in Carey as the new coach. If IU gets to a bowl Carey waits another year to go back to the alma mater.

After what Wilson did to Jalen, I have been waiting for him to get fired!!! That IU UofM game about gave me heart failure, I hope IU does not win another game this season. Sorry I know that sounds like a poor sport.

With regard to TSIB, I am just worried about us being in a position to beat them next September. I would like to see us continue the streak.

Wilson HAS stockpiled talent there, even if he can't win big 10 games. He's very close to getting them over the hump as evidenced by their very close losses to OSU and UM. Physically and athletically they are far superior to us now and I don't see any hope that we'll close the gap back up. I don't think we'll even be competitive with them given the productivity of their offense and the atrocity that is our defense. Our roster was better and the coaching was better during the years we did beat them and sadly that has since gone the opposite direction. IMO we'll regret extending the series with them.

If the staff takes the leash off Neal next year we will move the ball, but we need more creativity in our play calling. More diversity in our running game and receivers that will run 12 yard routes on third and eight rather than six yard routes. The defense could be a problem but we will be better. The most important factor of all will be if Coach Lembo can recapture the team's confidence. He needs to have a face to face with many of the team members put his arm around them and let them know we are all in this together. Tell each and every member of that team he cares about them as people and players. Then he needs to show that he cares by his actions in the off season. Be visable, laugh with them a little, interact with individuals more. Less of an administrator and more of a COACH. A hands on Coach. I have heard on more than one occasion that Lembo works the Special Teams himself. Our Special Teams play is outstanding. Maybe we need a little of that magic dust sprinkled on the offense and defense too.

We have been saying the D is going to be better for years now and it never is its actually became worse. The problem is I do not beleive we have the players to do any better or the coaching to make what we have at lwast serviceable
