    Illinois State to the MAC?

    Joining the MAC and “moving up” 10-15 years ago would have been a good move. I’m not sure with what it is we’d be moving up to now….possibly moving up to stay in the same pecking order. I have always enjoyed the bowl games but as more and more players opt out from them, along with the...

    NBA and All Star game - when did demise start

    The NBA’s slow death began with calling ticky tack fouls and letting players take an extra step, gather, whatever the hell hou want to call it. The euro step made things worse. Now, It’s a track meet on hardwood with fast breaks, corner threes, and no defense, post play, or mud-range game...

    @ #23/24 Indiana State (13-1) - Tuesday, 2/13/2024 - 6 pm - ESPN+

    Did this game really happen? This program needed a win like this. Also, very impressed with how quick Kinzinger’s first step is.

    OT: FCS Championship - Sunday 1 pm ABC

    Montana couldn’t be much happier with the first half, but that was a tough 3rd quarter.

    OT: FCS Championship - Sunday 1 pm ABC

    South Dakota State is a 14 point favorite vs Montana, coming off an epic semifinals home win vs the Bison. Hoping for a good game.

    2024 Roster & Season - Prognosis Negative ?

    It is mediocre at face value, but the world pretty much came to a halt and people in many countries were getting arrested for leaving their home. Before that we were trending up big time. Spack teams are almost always mediocre at a minimum and darn good to really good on ocassion. He builds...

    2024 Roster & Season - Prognosis Negative ?

    I expect another strong step forward next season that includes a playoff birth, providing momentum for what will be a return to Frisco in 2025.

    Bison looking for a new head coach

    Definitely a bizarre move. Perhaps the chance of getting spanked by SDSU in Frisco and subsequently losing his prestige was weighing on him. One step back to hope to go two steps forward.

    Transfer Portal '23-'24 Offseason

    This transfer portal nonsense is a joke, Can a coach/university offer a multi-year scholly (guaranteed) but make it contingent upon player fulfilling the full term? For instance, you can transfer after one year, but that year isn’t free? What about an NIL that pays out only if player...

    Future engagement with WIU & EIU

    I would vote home and home with Eastern every year or maybe every other year. I would do this until we can hopefully develop (and maybe out-perform/replace) the rivalry naturally with SIU or like. As for WIU, perhaps every 4 years home and home. I am a big fan of keeping tradition as much...

    Thoughts on Attendance & Season Tickets

    It used to be that you would watch freshmen come in and then get to see their development and the team’s development from one year to the next. The players essentially embodied the university. Even the JuCo transfers became forever “Redbirds”, and received their degree from ISU. Today...

    Will our Interim AD fire Spack?

    Yes because replacing Beamer because he wasn’t innovated enough offensively has been great

    Will our Interim AD fire Spack?

    As a Virginia Tech fan, I disagree. Careful what you wish for. Then again some boneheaded Clemson fans, think they should fire Dabo.

    Brock Spack Legacy

    Everything is relative. 100 wins over that timeframe is not good enough for Alabama…..and is all but impossible for Vanderbilt. Brock has elevated the program both on and off the field and I’m grateful for him. I think we’re 2 seasons away from going back to Frisco. Repeat champs in 2025...

    Exhibiton Game vs IWU - not included in the Season Tickets

    I really don't want to be negative....but where is the video highlights, "redbird recap", etc for this game? I've looked at the website, social media, youtube page, etc. and can't find anything.
