Re: WIU at Weber State (11/25/17) - Playoffs Round 1

So, in many ways, they're very similar to both us and Illinois State, although they get really tough defensively once you get into the red zone. That last bit might be the key! I guess I didn't realize that we were one of the worse red zone offenses in the MVFC. I picked that up on the broadcast fr...

Re: WIU at Illinois State (11/4/17)

A few quick postgame thoughts from BloNo - what a 2nd half! McGuire played inspired football and fired up the offensive unit. Would have loved to been in that halftime lockeroom. The defense plays so much better when Saunders plays well, and 99 had a heck of a 2nd half. For a sellout crowd, the East...

Re: WIU at Illinois State (11/4/17)

Makes me cringe when I hear you all talk playoffs and seeding when we're playing our worst football of the year right before the biggest game of the year. Herm Edwards would be going ape on you all! How about we show signs of being a decent football team again and then talk playoffs when we secure A...

Re: Football Attendance

Coach Fish lives out the by MCC. His house has been for sale for awhile now, good luck to him selling it in this local market! I've always thought of WIU as a stepping stone for him - but that's really up to him and his family - not my business to try and foresee his view of WIU or Macomb long-term....

Re: WIU at Illinois State (11/4/17)

Excited for this one to get started. Should be an electric atmosphere in BloNo this weekend; certainly glad we got our tickets a few weeks ago. If you're a player (or fan) and can't get up for this one, you chose the wrong school and sport. Anticipating Coach Fish to have them ready to play with bad...

Re: WIU vs South Dakota State (10/28/17)

Not sure it would have matter with the way are line played not sure if we changed blocking scheme or what but 2 of are lineman have been getting owned lately. Seemed liked Cox a former WIU commit was all over the field. Exactly my opinion too. Tough to run jet sweeps and stuff on the edge when NDSU...

Re: WIU vs South Dakota State (10/28/17)

The jury is still out on our running game. We seem to be fairly successful when we mix in enough jet sweeps to keep the defense guessing. Where was the jet sweeps against the Bison? I dont think there was a single one and I came in expecting a new wrinkle or two off of it. Our play calling seemed t...
