Congrats on winning a NC 30 years ago.

i didn't know that they expired. It still counts, I guess you shouldn't count all those conference titles from the 1980's

Your dusty 1983 trophy is now overshadowed by the prestigious award for most STDs per capita on a college campus. Yes, SIU was once awarded this.

it's not dusty its well taken care off. i think it's sitting next to the 2009 mvfc title in the new football office. Funny never heard of that award but i guess someone from uni would be an expert on STDs

It's not so much "grammar police" as it's "coherent thought police."


As to comparisons, anytime, anyplace, anywhere. The only measures by which SIU outpaces UNI is by virtue of having a more well-developed graduate program, which isn't the institutional focus of Northern Iowa.

Being to the championship in 05 and semis in 08 probably says more about our program now than a 30 year old NC trophy.

Typical SIU grad. Not bright, but aggressive.

UNI isn't in the "national" category. You have to look at their scores, out of 100:

SIU - 23 (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...arbondale-1758)
UNI - 64 (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandre...ls-ia/uni-1890)

We did just witness a rare thing: Someone bragging about being ranked 183rd in anything.

Twenty-three out of 100. Good for you.

EDIT:

Just for fun, let's see how the rest of the MVFC looks.

UNI - 64
WSU - 47
MSU - 46
ISU (Red) - 29
SIU - 23
NDSU - 22
ISU (Blue) - n/a
SDSU - n/a
YSU - n/a

Look on the bright side...at least you're not North Dakota State!

Adding the MVC:

Creighton - 100
Drake - 87
Bradley - 85
Evansville - 73
WSU - n/a

Landmark gets whipped.

Landmark tries to get us back with our common bond of hating NDSU.

Well played.

Thanks, i really don't know why we should hate ndsu, its not like they have done anything to mess up the annual mvfc title game that rotates between uni and siu, hell the bunnies have caused more trouble then the bison.

oh wait ya i know it's because they still act like they matter in this conference even though the finished closer to indy state and wiu then to uni and siu

Re: SIU's New Stadium

Personally, I can't hate on NDSU. (well, maybe some of the fans, but not the team itself).
After all, they DID do us that favor in '08.
