In the past it's always been the broadcast department. It's also only the 4th day of classes, so everyone is probably still pretty green. I think until we can convince WGEM or KHQA to do live coverage, we don't have a lot of options.

Watched Morehead State (Non Scholarship FB) and broadcast was 10x better. WIU's has been poor for a while now, broadcasting department needs to be looked at... thought announcers weren't bad for students

Definitely need some work on special teams. I was very  impressed with the crowd they brought. Its hard to judge after the 1st game I still think 8 wins is very dueable

I didn't listen or watch, but not sure what is up with Carswell but do we have a new number #1 QB?

It’s the joe Davis rollercoaster experience, hoping carswell is the starter the rest of the year as he was a stud last year. 

on a more important note, the spread was 39.5. Western Illinois covered it by a point. Good teams win, great teams cover.
