Re: Toilet Bowl

Did any of you make the trip over for this historic game? I see a few purple sweatshirts here. First time two 0-9 MVFC/GFC teams have ever met in league history.

Re: Last year in MVFC

It’s something we needed to do but in my perfect world Illinois State and SIU comes with us too. Just like having those rivalries (well not recently lol) Does anyone think anyone else will eventually leave MVFC too? Like Indiana State?

Re: At Illinois State

I listened to the radio broadcast of the 2nd half of the game. This one intrigued me since it's a MVFC matchup, except in hoops. Was pulling for you guys and was happy that you all pulled it off. On Saturday my team and y'alls will have a good match on the football field. Will be interesting to see ...

Re: OVC Expansion

I've been seeing a rumor a couple of different places that WIU wants to join the OVC, but that WIU doesn't want to pay an entrance fee, and that the OVC and WIU can't come to an agreement on that. Anybody on here know anything about that? Seems stupid if true. OVC needs another football school and t...

Re: OVC Expansion

Putting this here because it's somewhat more relevant to the thread topic... Just for reference, the impression that I've received when I check out other school message boards and talk to people who are MVC team fans/alumni is that it would mostly be the private schools that would block a potential...

Re: OVC Expansion

Putting this here because it's somewhat more relevant to the thread topic... As much as I wanted to get out of the Summit League as it seems to favor the Dakota schools, I don't know what other good options there are. I once wished they would leave for the OVC, but that seems like a dying conferenc...

Re: OVC Expansion

The ASUN has this verbal rule that they won't poach a league below AQ status. The question is that if WIU joins the OVC, does the ASUN try to poach another OVC school? With the instability of the league I'm not really sure WIU should try to join.

Re: OVC Expansion

Any new word on the street about the OVC? I guess our AD at ISU completely dismissed the idea of going to the OVC for football when asked about it by our beat writer. The MVFC commissioner Patty Viverito said she didn't think this current FCS realignment would impact the MVFC. She compared it to the...

Re: OVC Expansion

https://twitter.com/mattbrownep/status/1355165819995566083?s=21 I definitely believe WIU will pursue this. It’s a matter of whether the OVC picks us. At this point, I'm just hoping we are coming along with you guys for football. I'm so sick and tired of sending our football team to Timbuktu every o...

Re: OVC Expansion

Some of our fans think we might be going OVC for football-only.
