thats beyond sad

They won SIX games and finished .500. As the article itself says, "it’s always much more fun to cast aspersions than point the finger at yourself." Idiots.

The real reason is ESPN. They wanted the Chicago market over the Lafayette market. N. Ill is the only Ill team in a bowl.

It probably did not hurt that one of the athletic admins of N. Ill. was the exec director of the bowl from 1994-2005.

Nobody fricking wanted a 6-6 worthless football team that has zero fan support in their bowl! When you are passed over by Western Michigan and Northern Illinois then you are bottom of the barrel my friend!

---

eh, not really a good argument. West. MI and N. Ill are both equally as shitty as ULL

I really like how they think ULaLa is even on LSU's radar. Why even waste the effort to "keep them down," they handle that pretty well on their own.
And what do BCS computers and a playoff have anything to do with it. I can't believe crap like this can be considered Journalism.

Well on second thought...

I'd be interested to see a comparison of attendance figures between ULL and North Ill.

Here you go:
Attendence for the 5 N. Ill. home games.
Indiana St. - 20,936
Miami (Ohio) - 17,444
Toledo - 22,092
Bowling Green - 17,163
C. Michigan - 13,543
Total 91,178 Average - 18,235

Attendence for the 5 UL home games.
Kent St. - 18,241
Ark. St. - 23,684
FIU - 29,031
UTEP - 21,065
Mid. Tenn. - 15,321
Total 107,342 Average - 21,468

is that attendance paid or actual?

Its pretty funny they are mad they didnt go to the Indpendence Bowl.

Any other school would be mad to go to the Independence Bowl!!

wow....wow. just wow. ULL fans keep getting more and more pathetic.
