So the discussion on the other thread got me excited about next year's D, so thought I'd start an actual thread to discuss. Interested in hearing everyones thoughts on starting lineups, key role players, next big star. Plus thought I'd put out some career (D1) stats to emphasize the experience of th...

JJ 164 tackles in 17 career games. Not too shabby.

Another solid year by Martinez and he'll get much deserved looks by the NFL.

And yes was joking that you were Jonathon Rollins. He's one of my favorites on the team. Should have another good year.

Qb play should be even better this year. Everyone should be stronger, more confident and with improved timing/chemistry. Minus the horrible start to the SDSU game, thought Norvell played pretty well for a Freshman qb with mostly newcomers as pass catchers. Remember he added at least 3 picks on final...

I think we have a solid defensive backfield coming back and should be pretty good. With that being said, I don't think being the #3 pass defense means as much when you trailed 8 of the 12 fourth quarters. Most teams were running the ball against us in the second half, which limited the passing yards...

Firstly, I'm glad we're having a passionate and opinionated discussion of WIU football. Let all do this for the next few months until kickoff. Secondly, I do have to admit I was bested by Bam after calling out the game film he was watching. I recall watching UNLV's highlights and it wasn't JJ's best...

In case anyone is interested in seeing an updated transfer list for D1 basketball. Both Barnes and Foster listed, but not Hawthorne. Neither showing their landing spot, but do know from Twitter Barnes is going to Cape Fear CC in Wilmington, NC. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/1...

I know this is off topic, but in response to BamBam's comments on JJ. I agree with you that JJ lacks speed, but he is run stopper and one of the best in the conference in stopping the run. He has a nose for the ball and makes tackles. Would like to see the video you watched on him and show me where ...

It'll be interesting to see how Coach Nielson handles disciplining players. Seems like a no nonsense type of guy, but we'll have some time to see how this all unfolds. We'll have to wait and see what either player is actually charged with and then what sticks. This should all be hashed out before fa...

website showing a third commit and new name of Dalan Ancrum. Maybe that TX kids who was mentioned in an earlier post that was thought to have verballed to WIU a while back. http://www.goleathernecks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=209481764&DB_OEM_ID=12000 http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/...
