Where do the people park up there? Where will the tailgating be?
Who's going to be there?
For what it's worth...Just asked "SIRI" on my phone who was favored tomorrow, and she said it's a tossup. 😆
March on triumphantly!
Game Day! Would love to get the win, but really just hoping they give themselves a shot in the 4th. Also, most importantly, no injuries. Let’s go Dawgs!!
I'd love for this to be like the UM-Ass game a few years ago where we're so far ahead we can give up a garbage time score to make it look closer than it really was.
I'll settle for us looking competitive, even if we lose.

This doesn't feel like it was that long ago.
CollegeFootballPoll.com has us 11.96 underdogs.
11.96 what?
11.96 points? (which doesn't seem likely from the other lines but to me feels about right, that we'll end up losing by somewhere between 10 and 14 points)
11.96%? (Which I assume would give us a 44.02% chance to win)
I know it's too early to look at this, but collegesportsmadness has us playing Weber State in the first round of the FCS playoffs in their current bracketology.
If we win this, we'd have to go 5-4 to make the hypothetical 7-4 we'd need and we'd also have a win against a FBS team and Austin Peay, who's also currently in the field.
We'd also have games against current hypothetical playoff teams SEMO, SDSU, and NDSU
If we lose this, we'd end up needing to go 6-3 to hit the magic 7-4, and would have no room to slip up in games we should win unless we had a massive upset vs SEMO, SDSU, or NDSU
But I'd still take a loss where we didn't get blown out.
EDIT: Obligatory Jim Mora rant
Penalties are hurting SIU so far. One on offense, one on defense
Until Luke mentioned it today, I didn’t realize the entire referee crew is from one of the teams conferences. It’s an all MAC crew. Seems like they should get different ref crews for non-conference if possible.
Combs on O to start the game. Now, back on D.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
Combs as tight end? What does that say about our tight end group!!!
Couple of dumb penalties have really hurt us. I think we can win this game, but we can't have a lot of stupid penalties or turnovers.
(BC in a really tight game with Holy Cross in the 4th quarter. Think that means BC is not a very good FBS team.)
