Re: 17/18 Season - vs St. Mary's Univ of MN

So does it make you nervous to hold a D3 school to 25 in the second half while scoring 67 points? I am not going to fault Coach Wright for scheduling this game at the beginning of the season just as much as I am not going to fault JD for scheduling Illinois College which the Necks beat 122 - 40. The...

Re: Playoffs?...PLAYOFFS?!?!?

They have got to dot all the eyes, and cross all the T's this time! The rest will take care of itself. This is a well coached football team with a lot of desire and emotion ready to be unleashed. I would be happy as a clam if we host a second round game and I would definitely make the drive to be in...

Re: Playoffs?...PLAYOFFS?!?!?

The next game against SIU is truly a "payback" ball game! If I am a player its one game I could never ever forget! ;) jc

Re: WIU at Indiana State (11/11/2017)

We have a very well coached and led football team! They are on a mission and can "smell blood in the water!" There are no "easy" games in the MVFC!!! Charlie Fisher and the Necks know that! If we play in the second round, I will be watching in Hanson Field!!!;) jc

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff

Sounds like the 60's when a purchase of a refridgerator got you a black and white TV. This is gimmick recruiting! Not impressed! ;) jc

Looking for a New Head Track and Field Coach

So I was wondering when someone would mention this but since it was discussed on Tanney Talks I will instead. Mike Stevenson did a great job "twice" as Head Track and Field/CC Coach for WIU. In fact, this year's Men's recruiting class is really special. Nick Maas is working very hard to bu...

Re: How is Dunkin Donuts coming along?

I think you will get more and more specialty shops downtown as time goes on. The new parking, surfacing, lights, and landscaping have dressed the square up. Yahoo for Dunkin Donuts!!! ;) jc

Re: WIU at Indiana State (11/11/2017)

There will be an emotional surge from Indiana State early in the ball game as there always is after "Senior Day" activities. The Necks must keep that in check until the "air is out of the balloon" and then continue to do what they do on offense and defense. I am sure they will be...

A couple of stops on the Team Links Train!!

It has been very interesting looking at each team's Links this weekend. Just thought I would take a look at the Redbird comments initially and it seems to me that they have the same concerns that we have at times. Namely, how do you get fans tailgating into the seats at Hancock? How do you get the s...

Re: WIU at Illinois State (11/4/17)

So ST, I know you are pretty popular on the Redbirds Forum too, could you ask them about the 2/3's full eastside while they were selling north end zone lawn tickets to Redbird parents and to WIU fans. Yes, the west side was sold out which included the band section, but how about the eastside? ;) jc
