South Dakota is getting killed by UNI, Scott, or anyone I guess, do you think Bob gets fired. I'm thinking he probably does.

According to the poll on their message board, a lot of them want to see him go. I think some of them said he only has a year left on his contract, so maybe they'll just wait and not rehire him after that. Who knows? Let the "musical coaching chairs" begin!!!!!!

Northern Iowa beat South Dakota 58-14.  Attendance at South Dakota = 5,490.

Youngstown State beat SIU-Carbondale 28-21.  Attendance at Youngstown State = 7,381.

Missouri  State beat Indiana State 24-7.  Attendance at Indiana State = 2,575.

North Dakota State beat North Dakota 42-21.  Attendance at North Dakota State = 18,806.

Nearby Monmouth College played in the Lakefront Bowl today in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.  The Fighting Scots beat Concordia-Wisconsin 45-20.  Monmouth led from start-to-finish.

Yes, and they are very unhappy with that stat, particularly since they spent a gob of money on the stadium renovation.
