Re: New Home Football Uniforms

Yeah, I noticed the change from Leathernecks to Western Illinois. Looks good to me either way. Is it more common to have the name of ones school on the "away" jersey and the name of the teams nickname on the "home" jerseys? Maybe that is just an old fashioned practice. I guess pl...

Re: Video scoreboard

Thanks Themanwithmanyhats, Looks like you have some good information on what all was encompassed in the price tag. I'm sure those not involved myself included didn't fully appreciate how the money was appropriated. More has been done in the last few years as far as upgrades than had been done in a l...

Re: Video scoreboard

As far as the set up for football. I would have preferred a permanent video board 3 times as big with half as much picture resolution. Of course it will become outdated, so does everything. However, what is the point in having a video board that is so small that it does not really contribute anythin...

Re: Future Football Schedules

Isn't New Mexico State going to be Independent status in 2017? Wonder if they are still looking to fill out a schedule?

Being independent in Las Cruces seems like a very tall task.

Re: Future Football Schedules

Ouch. Losing Northwestern hurts. Especially at this relatively late juncture.

I hope WIU at least gets some decent $$$$.

Hope we can find another FBS opponent. If not that at least get a home and home with a good FCS program.

Re: Video scoreboard

Good find WIU0812,

Cool for Metamora,

WIUs "upgrades" in the scoreboard/videoboard area are looking great if it were a high school, very very underwhelming for any level of college program.

Re: Western Buys More Houses

I applaud the decision to demolish these blighted houses (hovels). Like Scott says, sometimes one has to act when one gets the opportunity as the opportunity may not present itself in the future. Also gives University flexibility for future development.

Re: New Seating/Confguration Western Hall?

From what I can tell from the pictures the new seating is an improvement. Not probably what most of us had hoped for (actual lower bowl) but then again 1 Mil doesn't go as far as it used to. I certainly understand that all involved are doing the best with what funds were available. I have not seen t...

Re: Representative LaHood

Was that Baseball Cap with Rocky part of one of the Leatherneck's alternate uniforms? Don't recall that one this year.
