The fact that discussions for two days before the tenth football game of the season have focused exclusively on men's swimming and women's lacrosse should send shivers down the backs of the university administration.

South Dakota has some offense but plays absolutely no defense.  Of course, Southern Illinois plays no defense either and they held our juggernaut to about 30 yards on the ground (when we were still healthy.) Will this team go through the motions or play with some pride?

What does it matter, another year and no playoffs.

Still a lot to play for. Win out and make the playoffs for sure.

I do not know anyone that wants to see this team in the play-off. I will support my team, but if it takes another loss to be certain we are out, they you know what I am hoping for. Never thought I would say that.

North Dakota State    5-0 | 9-0    
South Dakota State    4-1 | 7-2    
Northern Iowa    4-1 | 6-3    
Illinois State    3-2 | 6-3
Southern Illinois    3-2 | 5-4    
South Dakota    2-3 | 3-6    
Youngstown State    1-4 | 5-4

Many people want to see them make it.  The team wants to make it.  I want them to make it.

That's the most ridiculous statement you've ever made and you've made a bunch, wow.

Buddy,

If you and others are hoping for a miracle, here is how it could happen.

Illinois State must lose today at SDSU (possible.)
Southern Illinois must be upset at home today by Missouri State or on the road next week by Western Illinois (extremely unlikely.)

If we win out (extremely unlikely) and BOTH of the above scenarios transpire, we could conceivably grab the fourth MVFC bid (if the league gets a fourth bid.)

I am not hoping for  miracle.  I would just like to see us win and go to post season as I feel many do.  The team is not playing for pride.  They are playing for a playoff spot at this point.

8-4 will most likely get them in

The team sure seemed like it didn't know there was a game.
