I agree! But, this is exactly what the program needs to do. In fact, it has to. Can the current coaching staff achieve this goal. I do not think so.

Karma!

Yes, 21-20!!!! I have three wonderful memories of the 1973 season. Opening night, not sure who we played but it was the first real date my wife and I ever had. It turned out that it was a "win win" situation, Then, I broke up with a girl from Miami of Ohio who I had been seeing before I m...

So parent's weekend, 1971, Ball State game! Its when I was hooked on WIU Football! Final Score - 20-19. I know that game came down to the final moments and my sister and I were right their at the goal line as WIU pulled a huge win out. I also remember getting beat up by Akron that year which hurt a...

No matter what, I really think that Hanson Field is a great venue to watch college football. I think ...

I would love to see a victory against SIU but I do not see this happening. I see us losing the next (2) games with a 1-11 finish. A true embarrassment for this program...

However, I would still love to see a win over Southern Illinois. Does anyone know what the over/under is on 1,000 fans in attendance at Hanson Field on ...

Oddly enough, this may be an opportunity for Western to actually win a game. With a visiting "dome team" playing in cold weather, we have the opportunity to pull off an upset if this team can play some consistent and determined football. Emotionally, they have nothing to lose. The season i...
