Indiana State Football

Re: Indiana State Football

last week's Sagarin ratings out of 245 possible teams
229 Indiana State AA = 31.65
242 Saint Francis-Pa. AA = 20.97

Yes, but that was last week. Prior to Indiana State getting beat by Quincy.

I was just saying we have the cupcake thing covered with St Francis. Maybe we can play the WWI veterans' home team next year.

No way. Those guys are tough old buggers.

Once you've taken on the Kaiser, you can take on anyone.

Cap'n Cat has become a fan of INSU. He digs underdogs. Was at the UNI game last season and, though they were clearly outclassed, they were one of the hardest hitting teams I saw play UNI. They reveled in every third down stuff, of which they had a few, and every hard hit. The new coach is trying to build a culture of toughness, something that is fundamental in any program.

UNI started getting tough in 1985, I believe, (my senior year)when we started smacking around previously annoying teams like Eastern Illinois and Western Illinois. We've never looked back and now, we ARE the "toughest" team in the conference.

Pull for the Sycamores, guys. They are our conference little brothers and them being good only makes us good.

Well said!
I pull for InSU in every game except one.

You can get an early look at Illinois State tonight as they play Eastern Illinois. It is listed on http://channelsurfing.net/

You have GOT to be kidding me....

Indiana State lost to Quincy last week.

Quincy lost to SE Missouri State today 72-3.

Re: Indiana State Football

Illinois State also looks like garbage.
WIU looks mediocre

Louisville might hit triple digits on them this week.

Of course, to be fair to Quincy, they had a short turnaround week.

That is pathetic. SEMO kicked the crap out of them, they were up 58-0 at the half. By the way, SEMO was 4-8 last year, 2-6 in the OVC.

Indiana State should probably just "forget" to get on the bus to Louisville this weekend, that'll be ugly even if Louisville plays the 4th string the entire game. How depressing does it have to be to play football for the Sycamores? How hopeless must it feel to coach there?

Not a good showing by the MVFC tonight. NDSU looked OK but never really had the Clones in serious danger. The two big turnovers killed their chances. NDSU's run game looked pretty good but their passing game is garbage.

WIU beat Sam Houston State 35-28, needed a goal-line stand at the end to hang on for the win. Not that impressive of a win really.

Illinois State got lit up 31-6 by Eastern Illinois, but to be fair, EIU was led by former Hawkeye QB legend Jake Christensen's 3 TD passes. So EIU is probably the new favorite to win the FCS title.

Non-MVFC score, our week 2 opponent South Dakota warmed up this week with a 52-0 beatdown of NAIA William Penn.

Let's see if we can change the conference's fortunes on Saturday with a big win in Iowa City! Maybe SIU can chip in with a win at Marshall too.

Oops, thought they had played on Saturday. That just makes the beating all that much worse. Didn't Indiana State almost beat SEMO last year?

I definitely don't chalk up ND as a lay down game. They were pretty stout last year and their QB was impressive...I believe he is back, too. I think they will come in fully expecting to win this year.
