Re: Time for a change.

38-73 over four years...a .342 record. What's the likelihood that Coach Wright gets called into Tanney's office when he gets back from the tournament and told that his services are no longer needed?

Re: 2018 Summit League Tournament

Augustana University (as opposed to Augustana College in the Quad Cities) does have pretty decent facilities and would fit in just fine with the Summit.

Re: Non-WIU coaching news

I know it only seems like yesterday when we said that Gunnard Twyner was named the new outside WR coach at Arkansas State...technically it was two weeks ago...but he apparently got an offer he couldn't refuse.
