Still NIU.
Way to throw that one in the mix! If it was indeed that game, much of the East stands would be red. Miami brought a pretty big contingent for that game.

As far as the [weak] deabate over whether or not this is a game from 2003, there wouldn't be tents in the south endzone -- there would be stands.
Oh, rats. I was trying to refer to the game in Oxford, not the MACC. :wink:

There is too much daylight in the photo for the pic to be the MACC...and too many people there.

1. It cannot be the MACC game. Take a look at the trees. There are plenty of leaves on them.

2. Additionally, there is no red in the stadium.

3. Take a look at the right corner. It's predominantly black. NIU

4. I can see that Lee Corso has a beer in the Falcon Club tent.

Also, I wasn't at the Southeast Missouri game, but I question whether they would have brought so many fans.

The giveaway, for me, is how full the east stands are. I seriously doubt they were so full for the Southeast Missouri game and I know they weren't that full for the Miami game.

The only reasonable choices seem to be Northern Illinois or Toledo (for those, like me, who think the black could be interpreted as dark blue). And Toledo can be ruled out because the 2001 game had south end zone stands and the 2003 game was a day game.

SEMO probably had 1/10 that many fans. Only teams bringing that many fans over the past two seasons are UT, Miami, and NIU. It cannot be the Miami or UT games just going by the amount of leaves that are still on the trees. Some of them green I might add.
