Re: 2017 NCAA Tournament

GOOD LUCK in the WNCAA Tournament!

Beat the CrimiNOLES! (Dealing with their football fans leading up to the Orange Bowl against them really soured me to that fanbase)

Go 'Necks!

Re: vs South Dakota State

Howdy Leathernecks! NIU will face the Jackrabbits in Brookings for the 1st Round of the WNIT. Would anyone like to provide a scouting report for SDSU? I see that WIU split the regular season meetings with the Jacks (Jills?). Are they more a defensive team or offensive team? How are they in the paint...

Re: Coaching Changes

I know not technically WIU related currently, but former coach Steve Crutchley is the new WR coach at NIU. Also I like the new hire, give him a chance.. I have faith in Coach Fisher that he knows what he is doing. Howdy Leathernecks! Can anyone give me any insight/opinions on former Coach Steve Cru...

Re: Summit League's Future

Only 6 teams are required for a football conference in FCS. The Big South is an example of this. Good to know and thank you for that. I know it's eight for FBS conferences. That actually facilitates the possibility (if the Summit League wanted to pursue it). If the Summit were to admit North Dakota...

Re: Summit League's Future

Actually, I have a related question regarding the Summit League's future. If the Summit were to admit North Dakota that would make five Summit members (WIU, NDSU, SDSU, USD, UND) that sponsor football. Under the scenario described above where the Summit accommodates New Mexico State football that wo...

Re: Summit League's Future

Just posted this on another thread: If the objective is to get the Summit to 12 members (assuming North Dakota is added as the 10th member), why not try to snag New Mexico State and maybe add SIU-e (St. Louis presence) as the 12th. The incentive for NMST could be that if they cannot survive as an FB...

Re: North Dakota to Join Summit

While I have always been leery of so much Dakota presence (influence) in the Summit, I think this is a good thing. Would still like SE Missouri, SIU-e and Eastern Illinois to join one or both, but, that's likely not to happen. If the objective is to get the Summit to 12 members (assuming North Dako...

Re: Week 9 in the MVFC (and other games of interest)

Ok...those are really slick. That's a good look...especially for a late season game. Wouldn't have worked out well in the heat of early September though. They're even cooler than I originally thought. The numbers appear to be in White Sox font and the pinstripes on the sleeves are in silver so the ...
