Re: Western BOT wants action now !
WIU invested in the Hope Scholarship program which brought more students from Chicago to the plains of Macomb. But the Hope Scholarship group failed to inform WIU and others (EIU, NIU, etc.) that these student really lacked the ability to navigate through a 4 year college program. And at some poin...

Re: Western BOT wants action now !
I listened to the BOT meeting back in June "live!" Amber really took it on the chin and I am not totally sure that it was all her fault. I like what is going on now and I look forward to a stronger "WIU" in the near future. "Change is a commmin brothers and sisters."

Re: 2023 Recruits
We are really making a connection with Chicago Suburban football, especially COD and Montini Catholic High School. The kids from Montini are definitely gamers. The more we get along the way, the more suburban kids see WIU logo walking their halls. There happens to be a direct correlation between ...

Re: Hanson Field
There has got to be some way of refurbishing the westside on the basis of safety! It is basically crumbling beneath our feet as the years pass.

Re: Kirk Dillard named to Board of Trustees!
Would like you to listen to the BOT meeting which took place today. Start around 1:48:00 and listen all the way to the break. The BOT is really asking some important questions and the statement from Kirk Dillard just before the break gives you an idea of why Kirk was placed on the BOT when he was....

Time to join the Leatherneck Club!
We received a message last week from Paul Bubb standing next to the Colonel Rock statue, thanking us for our donation to the Leatherneck Club during the annual Western Challenge. He also charged us with the job of recruiting more friends and WIU grads to join the LC at a time when the advancement o...

Re: Leaving the conference
This is a really good slide presentation, taking us from the beginning with the Little 19 through to our OVC membership. I remember when a group of schools who were a major part of the Mid Continent decided to leave, NIU heading back to the Mid America Conference and the rest headed to the new Hori...

Re: Spring Sports
Seems like we have lost alot of games where we just did not finish in extra innings or in the very late innings. Those wins make all the difference in the world when it comes to your overall record. I am not sure how fundamentally sound we are in hitting, fielding, and pitching. I have always tho...
