Re: OVC Commissioner Resigns

Such a bad move.  MVFC and Summit conference was literally only good thing going for the athletics department.

I contribute most of it to the same thing I do for the downfall of society. Cell phones and social media.

Re: 2025 Week 5 - vs Eastern Illinois

Just so sad to go to these games. Walk up the literally crumbling steps. Sit on splintered benches. Watch the team barely compete (usually lose) in the weak OVC, all while trying to tell my kids how it used to be. The hills would be full of people, the pit FULL of tailgaters, peach blossoms making ...

Re: vs. Eastern Washington


I'm probably the only one, but I have been more impressed with the backup QBs than I have with Irvin - right now not understanding why he was the "go to guy". Both Oline and Dline need to play tough, and special teams.......well, they need to do much better than against Valpo....

Re: Hanson field new turf?



Ok, well that tempers my expectations at least. Times are tough money is tight.

Caterpillar CEO

The new caterpillar CEO is a WIU graduate. 

Might be a good time to reach out to CAT see if some kind of partnership can be developed.  The construction industry isn’t going anywhere and they are a global powerhouse.
