Re: 2017-2018 Season
It seems WIU712 has passed along a number of news notes about Eastern being very pro-active in a number of ways that creates an image that they must have strong leadership who understands the need to be visible and involved with issues.

Re: Football Attendance
I have no idea what's going on,however, that does sound pretty lame.

Re: Football Attendance
Also, how could it be a far better fan experience? Really. HS football is unique, and should be played at the school so family and friends can connect with the local school they support- not going somewhere else for no need.The school wants the fans and students to connect with what they have, not w...

Re: Football Attendance
I just don't see this having any advantage for Macomb HS. Why would they do this? Leave their school grounds to play in a stadium that would likely be 80% empty- I'm guessing they don't draw 3,000 or so to a each game. Have the hassle of students and players going back and forth on the weekends. Why...

Re: Greatest Quarterback of all time
This is really a no win type of "survey". Everyone in a certain era at Western will say their QB was the best. Offenses have changed, defenses have changed, number of games has changed, how they are graded has changed etc. etc. Maybe best to just talk about some of the QB's in Western's hi...

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff
I still like the idea of being a part of the U of I system- I think Western would benefit in the long run with that designation. University of Illinois- Western has a nice ring. Would automatically enhance the image of the campus with the general public- I think. Leave the Western name- as a part of...

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff
Isn't Agriculture still one of Western's premier programs? Makes sense if this would be a majot niche. Isn't Champaign the only other state school with any ag program?

Re: Updates to faculty layoff plan and other stuff
This concept makes some sense to me. This fellow who identifies himself as a "psychologist by trade" still believes Western can be a comprehensive school- offering everything for everybody. I don't know about that. I don't believe Western has the facilities or resources to compete across t...

Re: Football Attendance
I think a lot of it comes to school pride- or lack of it. Alums in general just don't seem to have any school affinity, or pride with Western. I've noticed that for years- when compared to other school's alums. Maybe it goes back to their days as students, and no engagement or fit or whatever was ev...
