When you've lost three straight, you just need a win. They have the right opponent for that, even though Valpo is showing some life lately. Just win the game, and get ready for the bus ride to Murray.
Bonus points would be getting guys like Davis and Stulic going a bit to get your depth back in a better place.
Curious what the crowd will look like tonight
I think I’m gonna take a pass tonight. I’ll follow on my phone.
All stops being pulled tonight. Mullins now wearing a necktie and Rupert with a fresh haircut. I'm excited to see the results from these improvements.
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!
Samantha Dodd, Saluki soccer player, doing the sideline reporting tonight. No Howard Cosell Junior. Mike Trude, who does a good job, is announcing.
Still listening to Luke.
Good start for Rupert
Hensley playing the 5.
I think Ebube could eat up Valpo inside - they're not huge.
Seems like the "you were picked 9th, let this fuel you" preseason talk is starting to wear off.

Fool me once..
Just looks to me like we’re not that good after all.
