Nice start to the season for the ladies. Both the men and women have surprised me thus far, however for two very different reasons......

How about at a neutral venue in front of 800 spectators?

35-7 FU

28-7

28-7 FU

I could be mistaken, but I think they've only worn them in the playoffs and against FBS teams the last few seasons. They've been in a lot of playoff games lately so, yes, they have worn them a lot......

UND up 3 at the half.

Jones should have his entire team at this game and tell them this is how you rebound. You work your arse off. Mia Lloyd is 5'10" and leads the Big Sky in rebounding because she works hard.

It is their alternate.

21-7 FU

It is not uncommon. We've been spoiled. I don't think we have a kicker on the roster anymore though. Next season could be interesting.

Trailing UNC by 8 midway through the first half....

I think they wish they would have.......

14-7 FU

7 penalties for Tow son now

Looks like plow furrows out there in the middle of the field......

Did West win the Payton award?

Ya I dont recall ever seeing divets that bad in a football field. Dangerous.

Tied at 7

6 penalties for Towson in the 1st qtr. That's not going to help their cause......

Got to hand it to the FU faithful. They've got Towson thinking "neutral field my ass"..........

The Ralph is living proof that facilities aren't always followed by championships.

Success can be a hard thing to quantify. I admit, I thought Lennon would do better at SIU than he has, basically because of his prolific tenure here. However one probably has to consider the heirarchy of DII and DI when measuring his success. For instance, did you know that Lennon has the 2nd highest winning percentage at SIU, behind only Jerry Kill? It is not like SIU is to DI what North Dakota was to DII, which is/was a perennial top program. In 95 years of football they are 50 games under .500. North Dakota is 250 games over .500. SIU has had just 6 head coaches with winning records. North Dakota has had 15. My point is, it is probably easier for a good head coach to have success at North Dakota than it is at SIU, for whatever reason. Money, institutional support, regional competition, etc. I'm sure the SIU faithful and Lennon himself would have preferred to make the playoffs the last couple years, but I'm not sure what they realisticaly expect (the fanbase that is). It is not like SIU is a Montana that has been a favorite to win a conference title for like 25 straight years. He's already the 3rd most successful coach they've ever had, and his teams have improved each of the last two years. Jut my 2 cents.......

I'm really not optimistic at all right now.

SFI Blog They are speculating that the defensive backs coach from Minot St. is going come with Rudolph. He played for Schwiegert and Schmidt in 2008 and 2009.
