What repeat of 2024, with NIU? not sure what you are talking about

NIU upset the hawks in the 2014 opener with the most egregious type of officiating mistake ever. But NIU was 11-3 that year and MAC champs so they had a really good team and had been good for a few years .

2013 opener.
And NIU went 12-2.
I feel like we're playing the telephone game....

Is every Iowa loss due to an officiating conspiracy? I was at that game. Iowa lost because Rudock threw his second pick of the day and NIU kicked a FG to win the game. He was seeing his first playing time because Vandenberg took EVERY snap in 2012.

He’s talking about Northern Illinois beating #5 Notre Dame in 2024.

That Notre Dame team did make the national championship game though…

NIU's win @ Notre Dame was a beautiful thing. Then NIU went on to have a mediocre season. But winning at South Bend is a memory those guys will have forever. I loved it.

But it was still Northern Illinois not Notre Dame or Ohio State or Alabama. LOL

I was there, and Rudock telegraphed that throw to the sideline right in front of us. You could see it coming the second he dropped back. And, obviously, so could the cornerback. It was a moronic play call, and it was pretty stupid execution by a kid whose primary reason for playing was that he was so damn smart, pre-med, ya know. Had he pump-faked and led the receiver down the sideline, it would have been a game-clinching TD for Iowa instead of one of the most boneheaded losses in recent memory.

Ah, the magical season that truly cemented the Kirk'ism of 'Giving us the best chance to win' 4 games....
