Figured that title might get some attention...
YSU is coming in with their playoff hopes on the line and will probably play like it. I believe our guys need to have the same attitude because their playoff lives are on the line as well.
We have not qualified for anything!
In 2005, Western Kentucky was one of the top 5 teams in the country and lost back to back to SIU and us and finished out of the race.
So here is the rundown for what is coming up, each week being more and more important.
1) Youngstown State: We have not yet reached 7 D-I wins. A win Saturday puts us there.
2) at Missouri State: We go to Springfield at 8-0. A win over the Bears guarantees at worst a tie for the league title and gives us the automatic bid to the playoffs.
3) Indiana State: Might seem a let-down with a play-off bid locked up, but at 9-0 we have a chance to go undefeated in the Gateway for the first time since 1996 for us, the first in the Gateway since 2004, only the 9th time in Gateway history a team will have done that.
4) Southern Utah: This might be the toughest to get up for at 10-0, but a #1 seed and home games throughout and an undefeated regular season for the first time since 1960 should be good enough.
5+) The fun begins, should be no reason not to get up for every week.
Plenty left to play for each and every week, all the way to Chatty!
ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL!!
