It's probably called the Daily Egyptian because that area of Illinois has been referred to as little egypt for some time now, I think that's why they are the Saluki's an egyptian hunting dog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Egypt_%28region%29Originally posted by Kaboom View PostLast edited by UNI Fight; 11-11-2006, 01:24 AM.GO PANTHERS!Comment

For those that don't want to read the site (no offense, it's pretty detailed and long), the story goes as such. Back in the day there was a huge decrease in crop production in northern Illinois and decrease in crop production...in southern Illinois, where it's usually MUCH warmer had a bountiful harvest. People from northern Illinois would come to S.Illinois (or food was shipped north) so that they could get foods. Thus, southern Illinois was called 'Little Egypt' similar to the story in the Bible about Joseph and Egypt storing grains for a drought that came, and when the drought came, people from other countries came to Egypt so that they could find food. The other similarity is that Cairo is the southern most part of Illinois...Cairo also a major city in Egypt.
Everyone's history lesson for the day is now complete!
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

Also, Egypt is a long ways away, and if drive to S.Illinois, you'll feel like you drove to freaking North Africa.Comment

On the pregame interview, Farley mentioned how difficult the trip was for the team. He said something about locker room issues down at SIU. Can any of the former players comment on the locker rooms - are they just really small or something?Comment

Is anyone watching the SIU video feed? Is the quality any good? Not sure I want to pay $10 if it doesn't look good ...Comment

don't waste your money- its terrible!Comment

well, it's only really blurry if you go to full screen, plus its a few seconds behind Rima, so if you're listening you have a good idea of what's going to happen (before it actually happens). Depends on how you like to watch/listen to games (and how much you value your $10!)Comment

its not a bad video feed at all. its worth it to watch the gameComment
