Early NIU vs. Troy Prediction

[Bleeding Orange]

Not NIU.

I've said it before, and I will say it again: Jesus just doesn't like the Huskies. Unbelievable. They get to #12 in the nation last year, we beat them, they don't go to the MACC. They also don't go to a bowl game. They inexplicably lose to TOLEDO for the ELEVENTH TIME IN A ROW this year, no MACC, probably get the crappiest of the MAC's five bowl games this year (based on location and time).

And, once they get to San Diego, one of the sunniest and nicest places on EARTH, its raining and there are power outages throughout the city. The game is delayed, ESPN is showing the game like its 1983. Trev Alberts is running his mouth about Troy playing -- OMG -- a team from the MAC!!!!!!!!!

Well, I say God bless them, regardless of our rivalry with them. I truly do feel for them, and I think everyone else hear does as well. Believe me, if we're playing them, f*** them right in the a**. But, as a fan of our conference and "mid-majors" in general, I really do have to feel for them. I can't imagine what it would feel like if this were happening to our beloved Falcons.

The benevolent side of me wants them to win to break this string of bad luck, but I do have to admit that the selfish Falcon side of me doesn't want to see anything change.

OK, everyone sing with me: "Manic Monday..."

Wolfe scores. I'm cheering my ass off. Time to go and hug my new new-Falcon head pillow...

Wow....talk about a turn around for the Huskies. NIU just INT'd and returned to the Troy's 28.

I know. And, I am extremely happy. What is happening to me? Somebody please help!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was worth pointing out that the game was in San Jose, not San Diego.

I don't think San Jose is typically as sunny. It isn't as foggy as San Francisco, but it is in the Bay area.
