Indiana St made the playoffs in 2014 and won at EKU the lost at UTC

They also made the playoffs in 1983. They beat EIU in the play in round then lost to Middle Tennessee St

In 1984 they were ranked #1 at points in the season then lost to eventual national champion SIU in their first game of the playoffs

Thank's for setting me straight. My memory is fuzzy at times.

Did you guys get any snow. depending on where you are we got a couple/few inches. It could be an uncomfortable game to watch....extra uncomfortable for the fans of 1 team. which one we wont know until after.

SIU won the Championship in 1983 (Dec 17th in a route of Western Carolina), not 1984. Not sure about Indiana State's playoff history, but they were ranked #2 in 1984 when we beat them the final game of the season to finish 6-4-1...the only winning season between 1976 and 1986. The goal posts ended up in Lake Ruth. Gil Peterson cheered them on. We also beat SIU (the defending national champions) on their home turf that season. If you're feeling nostalgic, you might recall this team was the highest scoring offense from 1972 to 1987, and had a +75 point differential, the largest from 1970 to 1988. http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/ac ... totals.php

Only a tiny bit this morning, gone by lunchtime.

Weather for Saturday is currently listed as:

Rain showers in the morning changing to snow showers in the afternoon. High 36F. Winds NNE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 40%.

I had the 1983 and 1984 conflated. at one point in one of the seasons we were #1 but im not sure how long. in 83 we won a play in game vs EIU then lost to SIU. In 84 we lost to MTSU in triple overtime. we probably failed to make the playoffs with a loss at the end of the season in 95 to EIU and 96 to what used to be Southwest Missouri St.

Call me crazy, but I love that forecast! Football weather! Go 'Necks!

Given the weather conditions, I think I would go with the 40 weight stickum for this game.

Is it considered an NCAA violation if I buy LeSure a pair of gloves made out of fly paper?
Maybe a bottle of gorilla glue?

Here's what Lesure is saying on Twitter:

Big time players make big time plays in big time situations. #JustWait (was going to try and remember how to post his actual tweet, but feeling lazy)

Lets hope he's a big time player Saturday!!!!!!!! If you're getting pairs, so ahead and snag Brunner some as well. He's made some of the toughest catches this year, but also dropped a few in the breadbasket.

Weather might be iffy for the passing game, but hope they both come up big for us tomorrow.
