    Illinois State vs. UNI

    http://www.pantagraph.com/stories/110804/spo_20041108031.shtml

    Johnson, Barber sidelined

    ISU played Saturday without its leading rusher and No. 2 receiver.

    Demetrus Johnson (651 yards rushing) sat out with a knee injury and is likely done for the season. Ramon Barber (29 receptions) was sidelined with a wrist ailment. His status for the final two games is unknown.

    Pair ejected

    ISU rover Nick Passarelli and Southern tailback Brandon Jacobs were both ejected after a fourth-quarter skirmish.

    Denver Johnson was unsure whether Passarelli would have to sit out next Saturday's game at Northern Iowa because of the ejection.

    Passarelli, a true freshman, had eight tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a sack before the incident.
    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.

    I'm pretty sure that both with have to sit out 1 game. Thats good for the 'Cats.

    I think this week will be a tough one. The Redbirds have always played UNI tough and with Boomer Grigsby, this looks to be a defensive struggle. Hopefully, UNI's offense can stay on track.

      Illinois State just doesn't have the weapons to compete, IMO. I think UNI wins. I'd be just a bit more nervous if this were in Normal, but it's not, so we're in the clear.

        That will really hurt the Redbirds having Johnson out......but remember Brian Thompson who transfered from Iowa State....he should get most of the carries now. He is a smaller quick back.....but I think we should be able to handle him.....

          UNI is on a roll....

          and will whip up on the third ISU team played this year....

          UNI - 42
          ISU - 13

          Bring a friend to the game. Remember 2 for 1 tickets....

                  lets get everyones predictions.
                  This is not a team that should be taken very lightly. they lost to Minnesota only 21-37. Almost beat Western Kentucky 21-24. They are a very good team. The Panthers will have to play another great game this week and that is what i predict them to do.
                  Prediction: UNI-31
                  Illinois State-21

                  Atttendance: 11,500 what do you think?

                    UNI 31, ISU 10. There's too many injuries on that Redbird squad for them to be competitive. Although there's talk in Normal of changing their name from the Illinois State Redbirds to the Illinois State Boomer Grigsbies. I think I would support a change like that.

                    Attendance: 12,000-ish. Scuttlebutt in my region of the campus is that when I talked to fellow students about the crappy attendance against SMS, they all said the same thing:

                    "I just thought someone would go. I didn't realize that so few people would show up."

                    I've been told by non-students that they keep getting told that General Admission is sold out. What is THIS all about? We haven't been CLOSE to sellout all year!

                      hey, don't even get me started on the trampoline jumping Boomer Grigsby. what a chump...he gets a lot of tackles, but 3 or 4 of them each game is him jumping on the pile and their coaching staff making the SID department make the changes on Sunday! gosh that stuff ticks me off....

                      also, two years ago a Buck Buchanan nominee piece came out with him standing in front of an American flag like he was in the services or something.... it kinda went too far and i think ISU takes his talents a little too far...

                      what happened to publicizing a team, the team's effort and the team's success.... when you don't win, its tough to do that....ask the Redbirds!

                        After checking the UNI Ticket website, there are plenty of tickets left for general admission. However, I will say this. If students show up at this game, there will be around 13,000. There will be some people who stay for the football game after the state championships. Plus, there will be quite a few walkups. I don't know how many tickets have been sold thus far, but by going through and trying to find the "best seats" tickets, there were alot of seats already taken from the 20-20 on both sides.
                        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.

The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                              What a great game to listen to. Sucks that I live in CA now and can't see the games live.

                              Just wondering, what was the attendance like? I never did hear an announcement on the radio.
