What did Mel do to cause that?

Ha. I wish I could take credit for it. FCS lines are very hard to find. 5 dimes had them all the time, and 2020 they got raided. Usually Friday night or most times Saturday morning they will pop up on some websites.

Harvard @ Cornell in a few hours is up:

Most books don't post till Saturday morning any more. The website Mel used got shut down I believe.

maybe Mel had something to do with our site crashing !!!!!

Virginia Redbird usually is the poster of the Prairie State Pigskin story of the week, but since I just read it, I'll do the honors today. Nice story about the Birds' need to "get in gear" vs. the Black Cats.

Illinois State seeks faster start to end a 10-year drought at Northern Iowa

A quicker start would put the ISU Redbirds in a better position to win, coaches and players say.

Well, let's be honest, the bar for a "faster start" is so low you may have to dig a trench to get over it! Let's hope the boys just play a full four quarters today. The offense really only played two-quarters last week. It is time for this offense to get untracked and put some points on the board. They have had four games with the new O-Coordinator and QB. Rehearsal time is over and it is truly showtime today if they want to have a chance at the playoffs. I think they get the win tonight. Go Redbirds!

Outstanding start. 3 and out for UNI, and long TD drive for the Birds!

 

[Bird Friend]

Fantastic first drive. 46 on the ground, 37 in the air. Wright did most of the work. 28 on the ground, 26 in the air. Up 7-0.

 

[fourthandshort]

Outstanding start. 3 and out for UNI, and long TD drive for the Birds!

Picking up where we left off 2nd half of SIU.

 

[Bird Friend]

And a quick answer by UNI. Even at 7.

 

[BirdFan10]

Another good drive. Felt like it was a PI against Taula in the endzone.

Need to stay out of 3rd and long, won't keep converting on those.

 

[Bird Friend]

Birds with a FG. Up 10-7

 

[topiarydan]

Nice drive 17-7

 

[Bird Friend]

Quick answer by UNI 17-14

 

[Manchester Matt]

Some pathetic clock management there at the end. Going to the locker room with two timeouts. Why not burn one before the third down play? Left yourself with one damn play to score after the conversion.

Good half, but that stinks.

 

[Bird Friend]

Excellent drive that comes up just short of the TD, but gets us 3. Up 20-14.

Nice to have a field goal kicker. And running game. And passing game.

Wright tweaked hamstring. Think a defender fell on it at th end of second half.
