Good day!  Got my tickets to Carver for Wednesday night.
Also a good day to buy a couple of lottery tickets.

 

 
Your 2 cents are spot on!  Apparently it takes a crap ton of effort though to get the website updated.  Our Website is a joke.  The softball Non Conf schedule isn't even updated yet; and first game is 2 months away.  The football page is rarely updated timely.  It can be a major marketing tool, if they would actually use it!  
 
Yeah, I’m not sure who they go through, but it’s one of the few university sites that is hosted outside the university. I’d imagine some of that has fallen by the wayside with all the turnover and the lack of a proper marketing person (maybe they have one now, but we didn’t for a while).

I will say that I think a lot of Athletics sites go through that same service (at a bunch of different universities), so I think it must just be a situation where we don’t have the personnel to keep things as up to date.

You are right.  It might be harder than we think.  I browsed around the Iowa campaign site a bit.  They obviously outsourced the whole thing to a company from North Carolina.  But on a small scale, WIU does have a few campaigns currently in progress within their direct or indirect control.

You can try going directly to the file here: https://media.rss.com/fcsnation/2021122 ... a69fa6.m4a

Or you should be able to listen to just the Coach Hendrickson section here:

I was one of those thinking that Coach Hendrickson was quite young for the head coach position. I didn’t realize that John Madden was just 32 when he was hired as head coach of the Raiders. Madden led Oakland to a 103-32-7 regular-season record and a Super Bowl win. Hopefully Myers will have similar success!
