Losing to UNI hurt real bad.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

What I don't get is how the #1 and #2 teams in the best football conference in FCS can potentially play in the SECOND round of the playoffs?

Oh well, Gotta beat EIU and the Bison eventually, right?

Go Jacks

Re: Eastern Illinois University

I think the seeding sucks. I'd rather see you guys in Frisco, not Fargo.

Best of luck next weekend.

You guys are solid.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

Good info from Travis. Let's extend their non-conference streak.

I don't see this being a heavily attended game. Maybe I'll be wrong though.

In 2010 we opened with Robert Morris Thanksgiving weekend and had little over 12,000. Thing is they were loud die hard fans that was a fun game

The fan in me wants to disagree but the realist in me won't. We couldn't break attendance record with our in state rival on deer opener, I doubt if we will break 10,000 on Thanksgiving weekend. Low student turn out wont help either.

Probably won't be there for the game unless I find a ride with someone back to Brookings

That was my thought process. I'll be there for sure, though.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

I can't believe we will probably face you guys in the second round. Totally ruined my day. This absolutely sucks. I think you guys could make some real noise...was hoping to not see you guys again until the semis...after our qb had hopefully gotten some more confidence, and your receivers had relearned how to be receivers.

With that said, good luck...

Re: Eastern Illinois University

Tickets purchased and printed. Ready for some after Thanksgiving football in CAS.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

Does anyone know if students have to buy tickets? Or do they get in with their student ids? I'm assuming we have to buy tickets but I was just curious.
