https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDMFa4B9VzA&feature=youtu.be Div 2 UCM in Warrensburg MO Very nice but IMHO, I dont really like football only training and meeting areas. Lockerrooms, yes. But why shouldnt weights and theatre rooms be available for all sports. When we move up to the FBS and get ...

Re: WIU vs Montana (9/15/2018)

They also have a much needed football building which we still have to address. The benefits of this would have a positive impact on all athletics and their athletes housed in Western Hall! ;) jc Completely agree! We are in need of serious football facility upgrades. And high tide raises all boats, ...

Re: WIU vs Montana (9/15/2018)

Yes, Wash/Griz stadium is very nice. top 5 fCS. However, the Griz do play at conference mate Eastern Washington from time to time, and also lose their from time to time. Is Hanson Field sub par for D-I in the year 2018? I would say yes. However, outside of the north end zone, is EWU Roos Field much...

Western Courier Archive

It looks like the library folks are making some good progress in digitizing many of the old Western Courier newspapers. Or maybe I just overlooked it being out there. I did some simple searches like "Ray Doyle" ( my Seal 6 RA) and "Seal 6" and sure enough came right to the issue(...

Re: WIU vs Montana (9/15/2018)

One thing I didn't know until after the game, they moved the Student Section to the West side. The students need to be on the same side as the team. That is now the west side. Long-time Western fans will remember that the team was on the west sideline until 1972. The team then moved to the east sid...

I believe she is a 2020 grad so we will have to wait a couple of years. When you get an early commitment from kids, you know you are running a good program.

Re: WIU vs Montana (9/15/2018)

Of course, you're pretty much preaching to the choir on this one. Most people here would be at every WIU football game if they could. A portion of it could be explained by the decrease in enrollment, but we used to draw probably 3-4 times as many fans when the enrollment was maybe twice what it is ...

Re: Western Band

I like the idea of reaching out into the community the night before a home game or even the morning of game day. Nebraska does it. They send their pep band into Misty's, a downtown Lincoln steakhouse, and put on a little show for the diners on Friday night. The also used to send a larger group to a ...

Re: WIU vs Montana (9/15/2018)

To anybody that was at the game, Does the announced attendance seem accurate? The posted attendance of 4,011 fits in with the numbers given for the 2017 games. Saturday's Family Day crowd appeared to be larger than the 3,217 at last year's Family Day game. But it also appeared to be smaller than th...
