I think we gave hit that low point. Totally embarrassing two weeks in a row.

Salukis take care of business, rout WIU.

(Per Bball Fan post): What was the high point?

'Necks have been out-scored 384-120.

BTW, that SIU story used last year's pic and cutline, when SIU won 30-7 down there. What ... their photog couldn't make the trip, when the Salukis are ranked #11 and #12 in the two FCS polls?

Definitely no high points. Embarrassing

No bark no bite. Time to send all of the coaches packing.

I sat out in the cold until the band played at halftime. This stunk. It stinks watching SIU ascend while we plummet. We were bad at passing, rushing, pass defense, rush defense, punting. It was difficult to take any positives away from that game.

Since 1996 I have missed an average of approximately one home game every other year and it’s exceptionally rare for me to leave a game early.

This weekend, I left after halftime…only sticking around long enough to see the band and some of the hall of fame inductees that I remember from much better football teams of years past.

I just couldn’t bear to sit there, in the cold, and watch our team completely fail to come near the end zone for another half.

11 completions for 48 yards, so in addition to our defense not stopping anyone, we are now refusing to throw it vertically. I was at the game and could not believe we continued to throw it sideways every time and think this wouldn't cause the defense to continue creeping up.
