I don't think many realize how close he was to returning to ISU as AD. Now water under the bridge, I guess. Sheahon Zenger Named 21st President of Illinois Wesleyan University

Just taking a read on how the Redbird Nation view these games.

I've reconnoitered Airbnb and VRBO and pickings are slim, particularly on my budget. So where do you think we should stay, Madbird? Feels like it's time to get on this.

Apparently the MVC is pursuing the Racers. If they come to an agreement, it'll leave their football needing a FCS conference home. Adding Murray St would give the MVFC 12 teams. I'd be in favor of that.

Stallings has become a pretty good major league catcher. Good read if you've got some time to kill. Journey of Jacob Stallings From DFA to Top Catcher

There is a bad neighbor aspect to the decision to opt out that demands justification. Looking forward to hearing what Spack has to say. I'm willing to withhold opinion until I hear from the source what the reasoning was.

I'm going to be an optimist and go ahead and believe we're gonna play this game. Looks like Illinois has more questions to answer than we do, now that the Davis & Proctor health issues are clearer. Here's a preview of the Illini...

The Battlehawks game got way more media attention than I thought it would. There was even a watch party at Ballpark Village that filled up the ground floor. Just wonder if anyone tuned in.

Anyone else think the 'birds got their mojo back in the playoffs? The team plainly imposed their will on a couple pretty decent teams in SEMO and UCA. And, hell, they nearly imposed their will on a very good NDSU team. We didn't stick around long after that game in Fargo, but were told a few...

James Robinson and Drew Himmelman made first team. Luther Kirk on the second team. JR pictured prominently in the press release. https://fcsinsider.com/news/2019/12/18/football-2019-stats-fcs-all-america-team.aspx

UND joins the Valley, so we get even further from a round robin schedule. We don't play SDSU or YSU next year. Of course, playing big brother in Champaign will be circled in red for most of us. We finish up the season with Dixie St, which begins playing at the FCS level next year. The...

Just curious what people think. Only allowed 10 poll choices, so I thought about leaving off the 0 option just to frustrate lakes. Went with leaving off 10...

MOST exploring IPF options. https://www.news-leader.com/story/sports/college/msu/2018/07/30/missouri-state-wants-build-indoor-football-facility/854098002/ Posters on their forum think they're further along in the process than the News Leader article implies, but that article is over a year old...

I suppose it's not impossible that the FCS Championship Game could come here. It's been consistently mentioned as a potential use down the road...

Was unable to listen last night and show not in the WJBC archive yet. Any willing to share the high points? TIA

Went to goredbirds.com to click the links on the football schedule but those are not live any longer. Espn3 history only goes back a few weeks. Does anyone know if the game broadcasts are archived anywhere?

Nothing on goredbirds yet, but Miller went early in third round - 84th overall - to San Diego, slot value $694K. https://www.mlb.com/draft/tracker

4th's comment in the Davontae Harris thread got me thinking, and I didn't want to hijack that thread... Does anyone know who is driving this strategy in the coaching staff? We've been talking about it for years, which makes me suspect Spack is driving it. Hard to tell what Niekamp's thoughts...
