Not to jump on your rant but it’s beyond me that whether it’s a business decision or not that State Farm has basically no interest. They could single handedly make us relevant and have a good local team to entertain clients with etc. Especially in the NIL era but choose not to. I don’t even...

So you noticed the smart fouling on their part too

Geez I’m not even that far in but I’ve been certainly getting less and less committed and I hate fairweather fans……….but we haven’t seen fair weather in a long time

Same old Redbirds

Oh wow I remember this. They used to bus kids in and give free tickets to UIC students in those years so it didn’t look so bad on the opposing broadcast.

Same could be said about us coming off a loss to Valpo.

This is Johnnys team now. Need to have the right guys around him. Let’s make some noise in the meantime.

JK is going to be the guy. He is playing his way into the starting rotation/more minutes. Would have loved to see him get the last shot because everywhere he’s been he has been that guy. Has the making of a typical undervalued player by high majors because of his size but has the skills and...

Seems like a very solid hire. I had a feeling they already had their guy lined up with the whole Muller finishing the season and not finishing the season mess. Which hopefully translates to being a very good thing knowing they got exactly the guy they wanted.

I’d be fine with them just adding Murray State, but if they start adding those others, it’s time to look at the MAC and hopefully UNI and MOST come along too.

I’ve been a Redbird fan since the Moser era. I’m sure some of the older guys/gals can point to other great teams, but could this be one of the best assembled Redbird rosters in a very long time? On paper it seems that way. We didn’t really have the defections we thought we might and we signed...
