Sports Illustrated has the Birds #68. Second in the Valley to Loyola at #25.

Birds at 68, BYU at 67 and San Diego State at 66. These two games being played at home are critical for us to win IMO for an at large bid. Need to take advantage of this schedule with two equally talented bubble teams coming to Redbird.

100%. Ole Miss also. Those need to be three W’s.

Every non-con is a must win for at-large consideration. Except maybe against Clemson or @UCF. Could drop one but not both.

The Ole Miss win/loss is closer to @Belmont than the other 4 games mentioned. Ole Miss excites us because they are a name and in the SEC. They aren't projected to be too good.

Agreed on Ole Miss. But they have chances for quality Wins in their league that could help us.

 

[Flagship08]

Ole Miss will likely be the 8th best team we play in our non conference schedule behind Belmont, 3 Cayman island games, BYU, SDSU and UCF.

Birds are 300 to 1 odds to win the National Title. This article has ISU as one of the best "Long Shots".

What I mean is Dan loves the 3...almost to a fault. I love pounding it inside. Maybe I should rephrase that.

No, no...keep talking.

 

[Bird Gang]

Valpo drops an exhibition game to DII Indianapolis 60-57. Indianapolis was picked 5th in the GLVC preseason poll. For reference, Lewis was picked 3rd in the league.

 

[Metamoron]

To add a non valley point to this. Maryville University was picked 8th in GVLC and played at St. John’s last night. Trailed by 3 points with less than 5 minutes left before fading in last 5 minutes to lose by double digits St. John’s was picked 4th in big east.

I kinda like the way Reggie fits in the state of Illinois outline. Maybe a good idea for a logo / shirt design. Might be even cooler if his beak protruded outside the eastern border.

I saw one similar at Scheels in Spfld yesterday but only in long sleeve so I didn’t get

BAM!!

Really like Norlander's US Map illustration. Reggie justs POPS on that map. Don't forget the magnificent piece by Norlander on the Redbird7. For whatever reason, as a media outsider (on the national scale) he definitely seems like a friend to ISU, which is hard to come by.

Honestly didn’t look bc it was long sleeve. They have 4-5 different ISU shirts for under $20
