No crow for me, thanks.

If we are able to slow them down more than we slowed down Eastern Washington, I think we could see something resembling a 42-38 Leatherneck victory.
I’ll be busy with alumni band next weekend, but I need to stop by your tailgate at some point this season, if only to just say hi.

Our 28-point comeback win is officially the highest mark in Missouri Valley Football history !!
Previous record was 23 points.
This was the previous best from for Western (from the official recruit book):
DOWN 23 IN 3RD QUARTER
Sept. 17, 1988 (Western Illinois 35, Missouri State 31) Western scored 27 unanswered points in the final 16 minutes to erase a 31-8 third-quarter deficit, including three touchdowns in the fourth quarter and the game- winner with 1:11 remaining. It was called Western’s greatest comeback ever.

We may not be a top-half of the conference team right now, but we’re never going to give up or quit. The team has a lot of grit.

I totally agree with Scott. To all the constant naysayer's out there - we all know what we have, a inconsistent young team that needs to grow and improve. We have what we have and those that care have shown flashes that they can step up and perform. Let the boy's celebrate this one, I know I will regardless. GV - I'll help you man the grill.
