  • What Can I say?

    I am not going to attempt to get on your board and go on some detailed break down analysis of the game. If you did that to me after this game, my thoughts would be "Yeah, I watched/listened to the game dumb ass...I am well aware of what SIU did wrong and what UNI did wrong! Now go away!" I will say a few things:

    One, I was unable to get on this week prior to the game as I usually do each year. I regret that. I always enjoy the good jabs and low blows UNI fans can throw in some fun trash talk.

    Two, I hope for those of you that made the trip, you at least enjoyed the fact that you watched a football game in Carbondale for once without thinking "Is this damn place gonna fall down before the game is over?"

    Third...I am not sure about you, but I hope every SIU vs UNI Football game I watch from now until I die is just like that one! As an SIU fan, I will be on the losing end of many of those games. However, if the SIU/UNI football rivalry continues, and the games are like they have been for the past several years, I will enjoy them win or lose. I hope you feel the same (after you cuss, scream, throw things, etc....trust me...I am ok with a tough loss...but it takes me an hour or so to be ok with it. I understand) If your head is hanging, I hope it is only because you started drinking at 9 am and you are close to passing out. Otherwise, what the hell are you hanging your head for? I hope not because your football team traveled to SIU and played in a facility they have never played in, and damn near came home with a win. I realize sometimes it is better to get your ass kicked than to lose one like that. But I hope by the time your Panthers arrive home you have your head back up, and will tell them how proud you are of the game they played and get them built up for next week.

    Hopefully next year I will get on the week prior and let all of you throw your ever so creative jabs Until then panther fans....Cheers and God Bless!

      We keep having great crowds...and don't get me wrong I am happy about it. But after years of attending 2nd round playoff games with 9,000 people there, I am skeptical of the big crowds ANyone hear of any homeless populations on the decline anywhere near Southern Illinois? I am starting to think there are buses traveling around and you get an SIU T shirt, a few hot meals, and $100 bucks or something if you get on the bus Not saying the new stadium could not finally make folks realize SIU actually has a legit football program..but I think I saw a guy near me today with a sign that said "Will work for Nachos"

        I was actually really disapointed in the SIU crowd, today was your homecoming, against your biggest rival, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and you couldn't get within 1,000 people of selling out, and the second half the place looked half full. That type of perfect storm is a recipe for max capacity (a la UNI vs SIU Dome Record last year.)
        Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

        "White Castle?" "more like Black Castle..."

        You stay classy Redbirds.

          We used to get within 6,000 of selling out second round of playoffs...I realize you don't get that...That was my point. And I guess we can start the trash talk now (a la SIU finally won in the dome!)If you were disappointed in the crowd, this must have been your first trip to Carbondale for a football game

            ya it sucks half of the student section was nothing but sorority girls that leave as soon as they award homecoming queen. It has happened in the past but wasn't as noticeable its pathetic. Some are saying it was really warm, even more pathetic if a bunch of alumni in their 70's can sit in the sun so can students.

              It was hot as hell for football in October. But those sorority girls that left after the homecoming queen announcement certainly made Saluki Stadium look like Girls Gone Wild in the first half

                  Agree 100%. The crowd has been lethargic at every home game. I was high on the 50 on the east side and it was quite uncomfortable. Weird game, we couldn't run, we couldn't stop the run, but we won.
