@valleyfb what did the Nicks do to you? You are ready to replace Baker before they play a down this year. Sheesh. Let’s give the guys a couple weeks before you get up on your soapbox.
**hits head on ceiling stepping on vacated soap box** Agreed… every year is different…ish… Nic and Nick have provided a good sample of team expectations … just meh… hope we crush this season but it is what it is… mentioned criticisms seem valid. **tweaks back rolls ankle stepping off**
Good article from PrairieStatePigskin.com

Dude is a baller.
Division 3 football seems like an excellent fit for this young man, as the competition seems more suitable. I wish nothing but the best for him.
GO DONKEYS!!!
Baker has played pretty well so far this year. He has shown he is a good leader. He may have some limitations with his height, but he does possess skills many other quarterbacks do not. He has shown great ability to escape the pocket when a sack seems inevitable, extending and making plays. Unless he regresses greatly in the very near future we do not need to play the game of "what if".@tj-mcflys division 2.
@resaluki-88 who played what if? A former saluki is a baller and ball n.
But since you mentioned it…
5 sacks last game and 1-11 on 3rd down and the 2nd half was pitiful. Game 2 reminded me of why we lost 5 games in the 4th quarter. Thank god the QB from NIU decided to play catch with our DBs.

Sac. State #4, Weber #10, and New Hamp. #11 all lost. Weber got destroyed 40 - 0. #12 SIU is definitely going to move up.

Some bad computer code I reckon.
Weber State just got beat 40 - 0 and they're #7?
Idaho just beat Sac. St. and they're still at #12 while Sac. St. is #10?
SIU is not #4 in the country IMO, and South Dakota is not #14.
In FBS, they have Penn St. #1 and Ohio St #2. Wrong!
Salukis ranked #10 this week. SDSU #1, NDSU #2, UND #12, YSU #23
CARBONDALE, Ill. (KFVS) - A former Saluki head football coach will be the grand marshal for Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s 2023 homecoming.

According to the university, he earned the Division I-AA Coach of the Year honors that year as well.
Dempsey, 87, was the university’s 14th head football coach and has a 54-37 record, coaching from 1976 to 1983 at SIU. He is a 1996 Saluki Hall of Fame inductee.
The championship team is invited to join Dempsey in being recognized during the homecoming parade and game.
