Next Up: Illinois State

[TravelingPanther]

Our backs are all the way against the wall now so I expect we win the next 3. Although I'm not sure I've ever been so worried we would lose the next 3. Saturday was brutal. YSU is a dumpster fire, but the way we played Saturday and a trip to the Ice Castle makes me nervous.

Not sure what to make of the Redbirds. I expected them to beat the Jacks given the way the chips had fallen and now they are also in a tough spot with a non counter win and 3 losses in conference.

I imagine the crowd will be pretty sparse on Saturday.

Was just on unipanthers.com to purchase tickets for Saturdays game. Looked at endzone seats (section J). $35.00 EACH. SERIOUSLY????????? No thank you.

With the way the seasons been going, I feel like we're gonna crush this one and then lose to Missouri State.

I would recommend section B or T. See the Rib eating contest better.

They said section J specifically, which is $30 plus fees.

Or YSU. I totally get where you are coming from though.

Team has not been good on the road this year. Case in point: Montana and Western Illinois.

I see a strong home performance for Saturday.

Sometimes I wonder how it affects the team to go into Ames, IC, Madison, etc and play in front of 50,000+ early in the season, and then later on go to Macomb and play in front of 2900 or so. Of course it *shouldn't* matter, but does it?

I think about this a lot. It's got to be one of the bigger things that effects players, especially young players. You go from Kinnick at night (69,250) to the Dome (9,116) to Indiana State (5,487) in the span of two weeks. Plus, like you said, WIU only had 2,832.

We knock around the Dome all the time, but it and the atmosphere in it are 100 times greater than some of the MVFC, and probably most of the FCS.

I saw this happened at Rutgers and immediately thought if he played at Illinois State, he might just have to sit out the 1st half.

100%. Having been to every MVFC stadium - except NDSU - plus some other FCS locations... we're pretty darn lucky. Not that we can't always improve. But our atmosphere is leaps and bounds better than the Western Illinois' of the world.

Did anyone else know Saturday was a purple out?

I sure didn't until I saw a Facebook post. At 630 on the Thursday before the game - aka less than 48 hours before the game .

Someone tell me that I missed about 15 posts over the last month promoting it.

[FOTY]

Funny. I also saw a post from UBS and thought it was just something they were doing. Don’t believe I’ve seen a post from athelics yet, but may have missed something.

[clenz]

Facebook post at like 5 and a single tweet at 730 or so.

That's it


Glad out new marketing guy is different than the last decade worth of marketing guys we paid
