Re: Parker McKinney for….Heisman?!

...as I recall, the only non-D1-A or FBS player to get national chatter was Steve McNair in the late '90's. I have no recollection whether he actually got votes. There've been plenty of very high draft choices and lots of money made, but I honestly don't know whether anyone from our division garnere...

Re: Playoffs

...given our performance Saturday, I'm skeptical about our trip to Cape Girardeau.

Long ride, they're playing decent ball, and probably have a chip on their shoulder from
the OVC days.

Sure...we may obliterate them; if so-good for us...

Re: 2022 North Alabama Game Thread 10/22

...great homecoming weekend; glad we won. Quick observations... The defense was a turnstile; despite the injuries referred to post-game, I saw no resemblance between the same defenders I've watched earlier this year. Were they simply out-played by the UNA offense ? Yes, they were. Without McKinney, ...

Re: Austin Peay Game 2022

...I honestly expected a close game. After watching Pee play WKU so well in BG a few weeks ago, I had a feeling they were a damn sight better than I hoped they'd be. Throughout the entire first half, I couldn't shake the feeling that though we were ahead, we really weren't playing that well. Come th...

Re: Austin Peay Game 2022

...Pee has played 3 very easy opponents.

I've got a feeling we'll win along the lines of the WKU-v-APSU score.

This is definitely a measuring stick game...

Re: Coach Wells Health

...great article, well told. Long ago dropped SI; didn't even include Coach Kidd in it's top ranking of Kentucky sports figures of the 20th century. Kudos to all who did what they did to arrive at the place we are and where Coach Wells belongs; with his family, team and part of the EKU community and...

Re: Charleston Southern 9/17

...fun game-great crowd. First, it was cool to see the team run onto the field from the Hill rather than from either side of the stadium. Honestly, I was ready for a rout after the first quarter. We took our foot off the "gas pedal" and let CSU get to within 6 at the half. The balance of the game WA...

Re: Bowling Green

...I celebrate Saturday's win without qualification. The future will play out however it plays out, and I (or we) really can't control that. If you follow enough football (or any sport) and are a passionate follower of a team, you've had your share of "we were the better team, and should've won-but,...

Re: Rumor mill starting early...

...and file lawsuits against us and JSU. Which is fair I think. I really do wish we had handled that aspect of leaving better. I get that the OVC did us very few favors of late, but I'd rather the public image of our school not be one of going back on our agreements. Uhhh...It's "fair"...anyone can...

SO glad we got out of that conference!
