Well, after a close game this week, what's up when we travel to Springfield to take on TA and the Bears???

Repeat from another thread:

MSU has a good offense, we have a great defense.

MSU has a poor defense, we have a good offense.

The game will be televised on Mediacom.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to travel to this game, and I don't have Mediacom.

I wonder if any of the local eating and drinking establishments will be showing the game.

I thought I heard a few weeks ago that this game would be on Fox Sports Midwest. Hope so.

Motels in Springfield

Where are all the panther fans staying Friday night in Springfield?

Where are all the panther fans staying Friday night in Springfield?

30 of us going on the bus are staying at:

Hampton Inn- Springfield East
417-836-7678
We got a rate of $81 and should be to the hotel on Friday around 10:30pm to 11pm. We are then leaving after the game.

All I know is the hotel is 1 block from the mall.

I wonder how TA feels about the success that Kansas is enjoying now.

I wonder how Farley feels as well.

To be brutally honest this is the game that determines whether we get to spend December in the Dome...

If we get by this week, I don't think I would even play Sanders against ISU and for a very short time against SUU. Our schedule sets up well to be really healthy for the playoffs if we can get by this week!!

Well............assuming we have safe leads in both games..........then maybe.

I agree on the importance of this game (and a win clinches another Gateway Conference Championship), but I don't believe in sitting guys a great deal before the playoffs. Momentum and rhythm are delicate things. You play your starters until the game is in hand, and then you sit them.

Exactly.

A little light reading for y'all...MSU's (5-4, 2-3 Gateway) results and those school's overall records (FCS only)...

Missouri-Rolla W 62-17
at Tennessee-Martin W 51-44 (2-7)
at Kansas State L 61-10
Central Arkansas W 42-38 (5-3)
at Youngstown State L 49-21 (5-4)
Illinois State W 58-41 (4-5)
at Western Illinois L 31-10 (6-3)
at Southern Illinois L 45-10 (7-1)
Indiana State W 63-7 (0-9)

My conclusion? They put up a lot of points against poor teams.

Regardless.......................................F OCUS: MSU

Bear Week. Time to go kick a$$ in hillbilly land. (I've got relatives down there, and yes, it's hillbilly land.)

Tenn Martin and ISU were ranked in top 25 when the Bears played them, UCA is not a poor team.
