On TV or Radio? I'm listening to our radio broadcast and have the ESPN3 video on but on mute.

On tv. Play by play guy isn't too bad but other dude is pretty bad. Especially on the reviews. He thought the mcshane fumble was "extremely close". While it was stopped with knee down and arm high and tight with the ball three feet above the ground.

Good first half. Gotta come out strong in the 3rd quarter and put this game out of reach. Don't let them back in.

So far this season, that's been our biggest quarter, but 2 games is a small pool to draw conclusions from.
Still, in our first two games:
38 points in the 3rd quarters in the first two games
41 points in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th quarters total

Just have to play our game. Keep up what we're doing.

Man, looking good.

Like I said a couple or few weeks ago, I hope they don't waste this o-line. Talent and size.

Damn...I go upstairs to put my daughter to bed and miss 14 Leatherneck points. I'll take it though ;)

Yea, McShane wasn't in on that last drive, and I'd imagine the rest of the starting O will be out for the rest of the game now.

Make that:
59 points in 3rd quarters
72 in the rest of the games
That's 45% of our points in 25% of game time.

Walked in the door at 3:52 am. this morning after a 1 hour and 55 minute ride to the Quadcities on a SWIFTAir Jet and then a 2 hour and 16 minute drive back to the suburbs. I have a lot of thoughts about this trip and game, and observations galore. Had a nice visit with SealHall74! Will be back later! One thing to note, the WIU football team is not only talented but filled with very very nice young men, period!!! ;) jc
