Whats the most heartbreaking loss you’ve witnessed as a NIU football fan?

Back with this series and what other way to ask the school I’m rebuilding in CFB 27.

I’m doing a series where I ask all 136 FBS subreddits on what their most heartbreaking loss they witnessed.This loss could’ve been witnessed from the TV or while attending the game doesn’t matter.

If I guess for NIU, 2024 vs Buffalo.I get that NIU being ranked was a bluff due to the Notre Dame game, but still losing in overtime in your home crowd WHILE being ranked sucks.

2005 MAC championship vs Akron.With a 14 point lead in the 4th, the huskies looked destined for their first MAC title until Getsy and the zips came back and topped it all off with a 36 yard bomb to Dixon to seal the game.

2012 vs Iowa-NIU had a solid 8 point lead in the 4th, until Damon Bullock turned up for a 23 yard touchdown late in the 4th.That was NIU’s only loss until they played FSU in the orange bowl(Which was expected not to be rude)

If I had to guess for New Mexico, 2016 loss vs New Mexico State that would finish 3-9.1997 WAC championship that didnt seem bad at first being down 13-17 going into the fourth, then Colorado State scores 24 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to seal the WAC championship.

I’m doing a series where I ask all 136 FBS subreddits on what their most heartbreaking loss they witnessed.This loss could’ve been witnessed from the TV or while attending the game doesn’t matter.

If I had to guess for UNLV, without a doubt the 2017 upset against Howard as 45.5 point underdogs.The 27-0 comeback against Air Force in 2017, or the 41-16 loss to Southern Utah in 2011 after paying them $250,000 to play them.

If I had to guess for Nevada, 2010 vs Hawaii.Ruined an opportunity at a perfect season+ a potential BCS bowl game.1991 vs YSU, missed field goal to destroy the hopes of a FCS national championship, and 2012 vs Arizona when Nevada somehow gave up two touchdowns with less than 2 minutes left in the game.

If I had to guess for San Jose State, 2011 vs New Mexico State with the game winning drive, 2023 vs Boise State 20 point lead choke, and the 5 OT loss to USF in the 2024 Hawaii Bowl.
