Re: WTF? with Directional school?

From my experience the term "directional school" is considered to be derogatory and at least, snobby in most social circles I have been exposed to. In order words, you had to "settle" for a directional school for your post secondary education...

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

10 of Western's last 14 games have been on the road. Am I the only one that thinks that's F**ked up? What is the average advantage a home team is given all things being equal with the opponent, I think the standard is 3 points. Well we lost to back to back BIg Sky teams at THEIR place by an average...

Re: WIU at Illinois (9/8/2018)

The Illini have adjusted their pass coverage from primarily man to zone but we have not adjusted our play calls. A coaching error. You beat the zone with crossing routes and pick plays routes in the middle of the field beyond the first down marker. Our offensive line needs to sustain run blocks beyo...

Re: 2018 Week 1 - Around the MVFC

K-State took the lead against USD and nearly gave the game away on a fumble recovered by South Dakota. USD would drive down the field, but a FG to tie at the end fell just a bit short. 27-24 K-State over South Dakota. USD forced 4 Wildcat turnovers and didn't give up any themselves. I attended this...
