Lets keep this thread going since it is the most important thread of the week. Certainly more important than the Billboard talk etc.
This is the way I look at this game as far as putting perspective into it and I hope many Coyote fans take a similar approach. I listened to the Air Force game and I watched the Wisconsin game. I paid attention but it wasn't what I call front of my seat attention. Sure I hoped for a miracle but I was realistic about the liklihood of what was to happen.
For Illinois State it's a total different ball game for me. I will be tied to the radio and/or video as if I was at a game at the dome cheering most every play and watching from the front of my seat. I will be into the game and may be standing during parts of it as I tend to do next to the radio during big moments. As a fan this game the Cal Poly game and the UND game are the biggest most important games in my opinion. Ill State slightly less so for this year but moreso from here on out. The home great west games are actually more important but I value Illinois State because it's a road game and one I would really like to see go down as a win.
After this season the Coyotes will barely have an unimportant game which for me will be like a breath of fresh air. I am tired of playing 3 non D1 games and 2 FBS games a year. I want a slate of at least 9 FCS games a season. We need to truley find out if this program is in it for the long haul and the best questions will be answered in the meat grinding Missouri Valley Football Conference soon enough. A 6 game FCS schedule is simply not enough of a true measurement.
