Think Kill wishes he was back at NIU?
“You guys [NIU] don’t even deserve to be here,” the Orange Bowl rep said to the NIU staffer. “We didn’t even want you here.
By the way, did anyone else see this:
Supposedly a Orange Bowl rep told someone from NIU that they didn't want them there. Probably true and not surprising, but not really something you should be saying.

There looked like a bunch of empty seats at the Orange Bowl, also.
NIU was able to hang with the big boys for most of the game. Just don't have enough.
I still don't think they deserved to play in the game, but that's not their fault.

They did as well as a couple of the B1G schools that WERE "supposed" to be there...
In fairness to the B1G this year....very few of our teams were 'supposed' to be there. We were all slotted up 2 spots thanks to osu and psu. By all rights, we should have been in detroit playing central michigan or something
Obviously they didn't match up well, but shoot, you could have said that about plenty of games between major conference teams over the years. I mean, most thought the B1G didn't belong on the same field as USC during their little run there in those Rose Bowl games, and they proved it by getting worked over. Bad matchups happen all the time in these games, just because it's NIU doesn't mean they should get clowned on more than any other over matched opponent.
