Just a hope for the new year.  Can't have a season where we aren't tracking post-game handshakes.

The bad man is gone.  Let it go Elsa.

No hints?  High school guy? College guy? IWU Alumni?

Let me just say I do not like this 2 week break. The lack of content is brutal.

Happy new year yall!

I'll just say that everyone's #1 choice was unfortunately not available due to the structure of the Illinois retirement system.

Rod Blagojevich was the #1 choice to replace Stormin' Norman?

That was the one I was wondering about as I thought he would've been a great hire.

Name coming back home to IWU after being away for a little while. Interesting hire but a good hire nonetheless.

Welcome back to IWU Coach Jared Williamson.

Rather surprising hire IMO. I thought they would do better.

Great college QB, very successful run as OC here, then built a startup football program into a consistent top-25 team.  What's so surprising and underwhelming?  Who were all these better coaches that were ignored?

Latest weather report for Sunday gives SOME hope for a dry game. Rain during the day and clearing at night...just going to come down to what time the front comes through. Gonna be a chilly one, but nothing new for either team.

Hopefully with the field being a professional field it's able to handle rain and not turn to slop.

Yes, natural turf and rain. Also wondering about the crown of a soccer field. Is it more? Is it less? Could it effect the game?
