Re: Roster Updated

Coach Nielson mentioned at the Downtown Athletic Club lunch on Monday, that Nikko will play this season & expects him to be a contributor. He did mention Nikko would sit the first two games, but didn't add whether its a disciplinary issue or not, but he did mention Nikko had a good camp and has ...

Re: Game at Illinois is their "white out" game

Illinois (team) has the option to wear Blue, Orange or White tops since they're the home team... if they let our Leathernecks where the traditional white since we're the road team, I say let the crowd wear as much white as they want... sprinkle in our Purple, and we're good to go!

Re: Purple & Gold Auction

Agreed Tere... sometimes you go to an auction and it' the same ole. Which, in some cases the P&G is. The format & many of the faces are, but the items up for auction were outstanding once again. I put bids on several "silent auction" items and was able to come away with a couple. I...

Re: LEATHERNECK CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Hey Seal... We had Interim Dir. of Athletics Matt Tanney in this morning who wanted to & did thank everyone for their support. Reminded potentials that $10 will get you started. He made a quick note that the athletics dept. would tally/Tanney up the #'s and you might expect an official release i...

Re: Western vs Illinois State - 10/18/2014

It was 1998 Scott... okay, so the attendance wasn't 16,000 that year, but it was still pretty big. It was a nice, sunny day and I was sitting w/some WIU & ISU friends in the North Endzone when there were bleachers there. Our (WIU) sideline was on the East (WIU facing sun), but I recall a swarm o...

Re: Western vs Illinois State - 10/18/2014

Weather-wise, it looks like it's shaping up to be a pretty good Saturday. Sunny & low 60's. I believe tailgating officially starts at 10am, but I'm pretty sure the Athletics Staff won't mind if you show up early. If you're in/around the WIU campus, spread the word.. would like to see a really ac...

Re: 10/4 #1 NDSU at WIU

Former WIU asst. coach Bill Wilt once said, "if you ain't strechin', you are a duuuuuumb ass!" If you're not at Hanson Field, for arguably one of the biggest games in our programs history, he'd probably say the same thing. Tere hit it right on! I recall back in 1998, when Erik Rogers carri...
