Re: Let’s do better Macomb

Rocki,  you just have to shake your head in disbelief and utter disgust.  These kind of things are happening all over Illinois and the United States.  I just listened to the news and a young lady was killed while she stopped at an ATM, another couple were beat up and robbed including their car , in ...

Finally getting things right!

So for years people have complained about the marketing of our programs and sports as almost non-existent.  "How come we don't have a basketball "Madness" night.  When are we going to tidy up Western Hall with a more classy floor design.  When are we going to sell beer at the games.  ...

Re: 10/7/23 - at North Dakota

Give me a "hungry" fundamentally sound football team any day.  I am tired of seeing players bounce off solid runners with poor tackling skills.  How many times did we see UND convert a 2nd and long or a 3rd and long for a sprint up the middle by a tough looking solid Quarterback.   :x  jc

Re: Western BOT wants action now !

For some reason I am not surprised by this.  Its time we worry about quality and not quantity.  If quality goes up, so will enrollment.  WIU really took it on the chin with the Chicago Hope kids last year and I think we are at 6 Hope Scholarship recipients this year.  I am sure that WIU and Hope are...

Re: Western BOT wants action now !

In the past I would have been sitting here frustrated with things going on at WIU.  That's probably why I spent 6 years on the alumni board and have worked as the Leatherneck Club Liaison in the Chicagoland area.  But the BOT's demands and Kirk Dillards reference to a "mandate" from the go...
