WIU at Illinois State (10/24/2015)

So is this game sold out? Wasn't sure I would be able to go, I am now able to, but, I fear I have waited too long and there are no tickets left.

I am pleased that I have been able to watch all the games but CC this season on TV, but, this just feels like a game that would be better experienced live.

The ISU message board says it is now sold out as of yesterday, but I'd check with the ISU Ticket Office: http://www.goredbirds.com/sports/2014/4 ... x?path=tic
and with our alumni association: http://wiu.edu/wiucalendar/index.sphp?c ... w&id=27912
to see if there's a few spare tickets kicking around somewhere.

Just heard that Illinois State is selling "Standing Room Only" tickets.

Offense keeps playing well in all aspects. No huge SP miscues. Defense continues to eliminate the big play and we win.

Facing a very good team at home, but a team we can beat. Limit Coprich and spy/limit Roberson running and we'll out score them.

28-21

No blocked punts, no blocked field goals, and Western has a shot at this huge road win.

I hope Norvell can build off his really strong showing last week. I know he's had better numbers, but I still think the UNI game was one of his best as a Leatherneck.

Very windy tomorrow. Best running game and tightest spirals from QBs and kickers will win this one.
