He does not tweet much but this one from back in March no doubt speaks volumes. About what, we can only guess.

Lot of Redbird fans with ruffled feathers over on the ISU board. Appears to be resentment that the St. Xavier game was scheduled (or at least that it stayed scheduled).

It will be interesting to see how a top tier NAIA school matches up with a top tier FCS school. My Niece plays softball for Lindenwood Belleville(LUB) an NAIA school, granted their football program is quite bad, but SXU brutalized LUB 45-0 and it could have been much worse than that.

I'm just glad that WIU didn't end up with a non-counter game on our sched.

If they're mad now, just wait and see what happens if the game is actually close. Full-on meltdown mode. It does kinda suck that they weren't able to reschedule though...brings down the conference overall SoS a bit.

No reason to feel sad or sorry for Illinois State. They have 6 home games this year.

Northern Illinois only has 5 home games. And they play 12 games. Two of those five home games will be on Wednesday nights in November as part of the "ESPN MACtion" schedule. Only 3 Saturday home games for NIU.

I didn't say I felt sorry for them. The only reason I care is because it "brings down the conference overall SoS a bit."
