Re: Spring Football

The Offense really sputtered early. The D got 3 and outs on at least the first 3 possessions. They did put it together in the second half. The OL still looks shakey at times. Hopefully they keep improving through the summer and Fall Camp. Connor is the real deal. He has every throw in his arsenal. ...

Re: Attendance Ideas and Solutions

My oldest son goes to Michigan Technological University they are a school half the size of WIU. Play Division 2 in all sports but hockey. The pep band makes the games so much fun, the students pack the arena and have a riot with all there cheers at the game. It is so entertaining. The interesting pa...

Re: WIU at Missouri State (10/20/2018)

I am hoping this team puts its first full game together this week. A complete game would go a long ways to getting the win. NDSU is #1 for a reason they are loaded with talent and play as a team with 11 guys on the field doing their job. There was nothing fancy just a team which worked in unison. Th...

Re: WIU vs North Dakota State (10/13/2018)

Our guys will not back down to NDSU and will hopefully play their first complete game of the year. A win puts this team back on track to be a FCS playoff team. The need to play their best team game. They need to play for each other and get this. NDSU just plays consistent solid football week in and ...

Re: WIU Bye Week (2018)

After watching this team for the first three games, it is clear to me this team has heart. This heart is driving them to work hard at getting better. I think the defense is pretty solid, there is solid speed which has allowed them to keep the plays in front of them, very few times have they been be...

Re: WIU vs Youngstown State (9/29/2018)...Homecoming

In the end, a win is a win. But I'll be a little disappointed if we don't beat these guys by double digits. Well, sure. I'd love to see us completely roll them by like 24 points. I think we can if everything goes our way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I just watched a team get pummeled by a te...

Re: WIU vs Montana (9/15/2018)

I want to say it was my first game at WIU. It was a very enjoyable day for a lot of reasons. My bride who is in advanced stage IV cancer was cleared to make the trip. Our son a true freshman was dressed for his first college football game. The barbecue, band, and excitement pregame was outstanding. ...

Re: WIU at Illinois (9/8/2018)

My thoughts after watching the first two games. I believe this is a good team. The team played better against a better team at Illinois. It was good the see the WR's get involved and see some long strikes to extend the field. I think the first game was more quick passes and less WR because the O-Lin...
