I'm stoked about the team, so want to get this going early.
Sam Herder has us moving up one spot to #16 in his FCS ballot, but I don't think the official rankings have been issued yet.
This will hopefully be stress-free win against a winless Western squad before a big road game at South Dakota the next week, but you never know.
This team is really fun to watch and deserves a big homecoming crowd.

Should be a win.
Only fear is WIU gearing up to spoil Homecoming and the MVFC logjam at the top. Hope we score early and often to secure the win.
March on triumphantly!
Up to #16 in the STATS ranking.

I'm surprised we only moved up one spot after an impressive butt-kicking at Mo State.
We've played the 8th strongest schedule in the country, according to Massey.

Western is the weakest they've been in years. We're gonna kick the leather out of them! Won't be close.
Can’t overlook any team on the schedule. It’s college football 2022.. anything can happen. Need to play a clean game. Defense has been outstanding over the 4 game win streak. Hill has dialed up some great offensive game plans. Would like to see a more vertical passing game but the screen game and quick-outs have been highly successful. Finally making good use of #15. He can play any skill position.
Western Illinois almost beat us last year in a lost season for them in which they fired their coach. Can't overlook them.
Remember when winless and hapless SIU beat #1 Western Kentucky under Shawn Watson never sleep on anybody
While you're waiting for Saturday, give some love to SIU Equipment and vote for our helmet in the Helmet Bowl. I really do think it's easily the best looking in the MVFC.

Number-cruncher sites have Salukis as a 3 TD (or more) favorite tomorrow
Looks like a beautiful day in C'dale today. Sunny and temps in the mid-to-upper 60's.
Great tailgating weather.
Hopefully we get a good crowd to support these guys.
Wish I could be at the game. Good luck, Dawgs. Stay healthy, play smart, don't be overconfident and play clean. I don't know how many players read Saluki Insider, but if any do, please realize that even though a lot of us are not able to attend your games, you have a lot of fans who aren't in the stands who are behind you 100%.
Good opening drive for SIU leads to a Javon Williams Jr TD.
