Each loss is equally shocking as was the Michigan loss to App State. To us Irish fans, the loss to NIU will not be soon forgotten or forgiven whether we get in or not. It's part of the Marshall, Stanford, OSU missing men, and NIU lore. Irish fans were still talking about NIU at the Louisville game. Don't doubt me.

- To US... the NIU loss was humongously large. To the nation it is dwarfed by the Bama loss to Vandy. - Curly1918 - 9:01pm 10/5/24
