What happened to Underdawg? He was the most consistent poster until several weeks ago.
Good question. I hope he’s OK.
Underdawg is fine.
Well, not many people want to get together to talk about all the turds we have dropped this fall. Things will pick up unless huckster stumbles out of the gate.
Craving a McBride Special!
Per MSN the last time I talked to him.
He will not be back until BBQ is gone period . Hopefully he breaks but I doubt it.
That means 4 more years with the contract extension.
Wait, I thought our coach wasn't any good. He got an extension? Who is running things down in Carbondale? Have the inmates taken over the asylum? I'm too preoccupied with farm season winding down and my beloved Irish taking over the college football scene to pay attention to what's going on in Carbondale.
Someone please explain.
Posters down, attendance down , football is terrible , ( sure would be nice to see Saluki Stadium packed on a Saturday afternoon for an FCS playoff game, I beginning to think that will never happen)
and Hinson and his antics have sucked all the hope and life out of the basketball program
Too much negativity on here! I say tune out the Coach Barbecue bullsh*t machine and just watch the games. The men's basketball team will be much better this year - and will upset Kentucky!
Football played really well last week at MoSt in a fun game to watch and is going to beat WIU today. DeSomer has come into his own.
The volleyball team won its first conference game last night and will win another tonight.
The men's golf team is in 20th of 20 teams....but the weather in Hawaii is beautiful!
And best of all, Northwestern will beat Notre Dame today and give a certain fan on here a lesson in humility. 😀

Have you not seen the negativity on our past boards ? Deserved or not, it was there.

This post made me laugh.
Like the way you're thinking and seriously hoping this fairy tale comes true.
March on triumphantly!
The light traffic on this board is due to the poor performance of Saluki Athletics over the past decade (see corresponding declining attendance). “Negative” posts are better than no posts/no interest in the programs.
SIU badly needs men’s basketball to dance this season. Otherwise, the apathy will persist, on the board and in “real life.”

There are probably a variety of reasons why there are very few "posters". Here in TN, muzzle loader season starts on Monday, so I have been getting ready for that. Has there been any good news out of SIU athletics other than Tik's 18 minutes logged in the exhibition? I hate to say it, but if it wasn't for the negative posters, we would have no activity at all. I was excited near the end of last b-ball season when they won five in a row. Then............ I know we have all those seniors back and I would like to get all excited about it, but it is tough. That had to be the ugliest twenty win season in history.
If SIU somehow *gasps* upsets Kentucky, or is even competitive enough to have a chance to, I might be interested enough to post some again. This is in spite of the fact I still can't stand Hinson and wish he'd take a long walk off a short pier outta Carbondale.
--Insert something witty here--
OK I was wrong about football, I was wrong about the volleyball team, I was wrong about Northwestern vs Notre Dame, but I was right about the weather being nice in Hawaii! And the golf team has moved up to 19th.
Pretty sure we whip Kentucky next week!
Last year, we were doubled up by Louisville at their place. Can we please do better than that?

Your heart is in the right place and I'll play along.
Yeah, pity the fools from Kentucky. 😎

I'd be happy if we covered against UK.
I just don't want anyone to raise expectations too high and get hurt. Last year was fun primarily because we had no expectations. Now this year the fanbase has split into two groups.
1. The group inside the Carbondale Bubble who thinks that we will win the Valley.
2. The group outside who sees that it's going to be tough as long as the coaching situation here remains the same.
Most of us on here fit into the second group. If you're in the first, all I want is for the people in the first group to be careful they don't set themselves up like Charlie Brown kicking the football.
