Re: Men's Soccer


Man i like Paul Bubb but it seems like he just throws a dart at a board when hiring and firing coaches. Fire a volleyball coached one year removed from the best runs they've had in several years. Yet we keep a softball coach who's gotten worse every season. We hire a basketball coach without a ...

Re: vs Columbia College


I thought Columbia tested us with only a 4 point lead at half. We played good defense holding them to only 10 second half points. Like watching live on espn+. Western wins!



It seemed like, at least in the first half, JD was playing a lot of players who don't usually see a lot of playing time ...

As was mentioned, Illinois State knocked off #1 North Dakota State, 29-28.
Other MVFC teams had a rough time, as #4 Tarleton State beat North Dakota, 31-13, and #3 Montana beat #14 South Dakota State, 50-29.
That means that the only MVFC teams left are Illinois State, and #11 South Dakota, who ...

at Drake

WIU plays at Drake today at 2pm, I think this is a game WIU can win. Drake is 1-6 on the season and are coming off a loss to fellow OVC member Lindenwood. Drake's only win was their first game of the season against OVC member Eastern Illinois. A common opponent was Iowa were Drake lost 100-58 ...

Re: vs Saint Francis (Illinois)


The crowd size was an eye opener. Old attendance record was 1,800 set last year vs Missouri. Shows what we can do in Macomb.



Yeah, if we could import school kids every game, that would be awesome - I can only imagine the electricity in that gym yesterday!!!
It's great energy for what should ...
