Eastern Illinois University

Re: Eastern Illinois University

Had no problems last night. Printed the tickets right at home.10K would be great but I'm guessing closer to 7500. We will be there. Games are on ESPN3, no other tv option available. As I said before, ESPN3 is one of the worst developments for small college sports ever.

Thanks MD...I'll go route then!! The good thing is that the fans that are there are the hard core so hopefully it will be loud!! I'm a bit concerned with EIU's Oregon type offense but hopefully our defense can handle it and our offense can keep them off the field.Go Jacks!!

Re: Eastern Illinois University

How does ESPN3 work. I have not used it in a year or two. Is it free if you subscribe to Midcontinent Cable?

IDK about Midcontinent, its something that your cable network and ESPN have to work out together and if they do its free if not I don't even think you can subscribe to it.

Going D-I, SDSU has made most of the right moves, the fact that I saw more of their games on TV when they were D-II then I do now is not one of them. I like Midcontinent, but I liked it a lot more when I had it then I do now that I don't.

It is free for Midcontinent subscribers. ESPN3 is an online viewing option.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

I'm sure most of your figured that we would be out in the Backyard for the Playoffs - but just to make it official - The Alumni Association will be hosting another tailgate!

Wow.

Erik Lora, has 124 receptions this season, an FCS record...

Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, has 3600 yards and 31 TD.... Not a threat to run.

Wright, Butler, Godley, and Luxa will have their hands full with this passing attack

Jake Walker also had 1000 yards rushing with 11 TD.

EIU is 2-4 on the road this season ... They play in a weaker conference and have not seen a defense like the Jacks.

Tireless effort for so little reward. Yankton group will be represented just to your west.

Offense against defense. I like SDSU's chances. Jacks need to control the line of scrimmage and force them into some turnovers. We aren't going to win a shootout.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

I think grass and the elements will play in our favor. Weather.com has a high of 41 degrees and 9mph wind for now hope fully we can get that wind up to at least 15 to help redirect some of their passing attack. I like the Idea of playing in coughlin this time of year.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

Home field advantage could be huge in this game! I've heard they run a spread offense, with a ton quick passing plays. I hope its 30 degrees and 25 MPH winds Saturday. I think we should be watering the field pretty heavily all week.. Maybe hold a couple practices on the field as well.

Hopefully the coaches are ready to bump WRs on the line and play them close if they do short or slant routes a lot. giving them a 10 yard chusion all game could really make it a long day. hope the Line backers study film well and look for the routes they can jump and look for some picks.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

Weather forcast 5+ days in advance aren't terribly accurate, but according to weather.gov high of 37 they don't have a characteristic on the wind yet though.

My guy says 35 with 10 mph winds and mostly sunny skies. I don't care what the weather is, I will be there. Working all week including T-day so I can have the weekend off again. I can't remember the last time I had 2 weekends in a row off. I'm guessing it was about 2004.

Re: Eastern Illinois University

It looks like the Panthers play their home games in an outside stadium on artificial turf. Is that correct? Maybe a cold, grass field will slow them down a tad. Advantage, Jacks.

Tyler M. said that EIU hasn't played on grass in 4 years
