You're taking something personal that wasn't meant that way, and happens to be the majority opinion around the MVC, although as I said, we may be overrated; so might MSU, ISU, and YSU. I don't know if we'll stop the run or not, but if we do you're in trouble. I think that obviously both teams come in to stop the run first, I also think that if both teams succeed that SIU has the advantage through the air. I don't see why having an opinion like that should cause you get all histrionic, I think its a valid position. You don't hear me complaining about you mistaking excellent halftime adjustments for for a WIU collapse.  Not taking anything personally. I will admit you could have a point about the halftime adjustments. I was only going off of box scores and articles. If you were at the game, you would know better than I would what happened. And even if that is the majority opinion around the league, your not going to find too many people that agree with you on here. NOT SPEAKING FOR EVERYONE but I certainly don't share the opinion that three teams we beat with a down team last year should all be viewed as better than we are. I'm not asking anybody to agree with me, I was prefacing my opinion with the facts as I interpret them and I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing first hand about the Yotes. Maybe you guys match up perfectly and we can't run or throw on you. I don't believe that but we have a couple of thin areas due to injury like everybody else. I think that is what will make the MVC such a dogfight this year - you know that nobody is going to be full strength through the conference. Anyway, I don't think I'm being too homerish when I pick SIU at home against an opponent without their starting QB. And I extend the same offer of bourbon to anybody else making the trip, we'll raise a glass to no injuries. (Edit- We've trailed at the half in every game this season except NAIA Taylor.) |

I will drink to that. Unfortunately I won't be able to make the trip, but I will pour a strong drink and hope for a good game. While we're at it, let's drink to good streaming video quality!

What's with the short kickoffs? Jeez. Let's finish the half tied.

i am not calling for a change at the ST coordinator position but Triplett isn't getting it done.

Really strong first half effort by the Yotes. The KO return that UsD gave up is the only disappointment. Hope the Yotes come and play even better in the second half.

These catestrophic special teams plays are killing USD. How can the consistent errors be tolerated? How often in the past few years have we seen worse special teams (possession change units - punt and KO) from opposing teams? I can't remember seeing an opponent execute these worse. Should we really be satisfied with this? It negates some really solid offensive and defensive efforts.

Well, I wouldn't mind seeing Earl get a little action if we can't manage anything on offense here
