Re: Football Attendance Crisis

Wonder how expensive it is to advertise during the IHSA Football Championships? Watching on CSN Chicago, I've seen UNI commercials nearly every break. I figure anybody watching must like football, so maybe we attract more future students that enjoy watching football and we'll get more butts in the s...

Re: WIU vs Southern Illinois (11/18/17)

Finally home from the game and warmed up enough to type. :D Was glad the rain stopped before the game started, the cold wasn't so bad, but sideways rain would have been miserable. I was hoping we'd keep our shutout streak going as well, but I don't remember the last time we didn't allow a point for ...

Re: Playoffs?...PLAYOFFS?!?!?

A couple mock brackets. This one has us as the 8 seed right now. But they don't have Sam Houston in the top 8, which I'd expect them to be. https://herosports.com/fcs/football-fcs-bracket-seeds-1st-round-games-november-11-2017-ajaj This one has us playing Nicholls State and being fed to UCA. Would b...

Re: WIU at Indiana State (11/11/2017)

Are today's ESPN3 announcers in the stadium? There is like zero ambient noise. Really odd watching this game and not hearing the crowd or a band.

Re: WIU at South Dakota (10/29/2016)

Can someone please explain to me why the offensive gets so conservative in the 2nd half? It's been the same all season they can move the ball up and down the field the entire 1st half and then when they come out from halftime the offense gets predictable and doesn't really take the shots it did in ...

Re: What loss has hurt the most?

1997 playoff game against McNeese State was the most disappointing game for me. Great defense, brutal cold, just couldn't get that 2 point conversion late. Really thought that was going to be the year. 2nd would be the ISUr game from a couple years ago. That was not fun to watch.
