Game Week: Western Illinois

Re: Game Week: Western Illinois

I think SDSU wins this one.

This game doesn't have "that feeling" to it. SDSU is ranked lower and is not the favorite, therefore will play like they are capable and win.

Here are my matchups to watch: http://jackrabbitillustrated.blogspo...watch-wiu.html

I'm nervous and not feeling great about it. I think we may see a rerun of YSU and UNI. Ball control keep away.

Coach's feeling about this game: Scared Shirtless!

(Obviously a winnable game, and one that is absolutely needed, but also against a good opponent on the road).

Re: Game Week: Western Illinois

It's going to take the best SDSU effort of the year to get the win tomorrow. If we have a turnover or special teams miscue in the first five minutes I think we'd all be wise to switch over to watching another game. If not, it should be a tight one.

At least it looks like bad weather won't be much of an issue for passing. NOAA's forecast for tomorrow in Macomb: "Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 43. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph.

Stop me if you've heard this before: The team is having travel issues on their way to Macomb.

Zimmer just tweeted: "Our flight is delayed, but the Gameday preview of @GoJacksFB at @WIUfootball is on time."

Was just thinking the exact same thing when I saw that. Man, I wish I didn't have a negative vibe for this game!

Seems like a little late in the week to be flying out to a game. Especially with SDSU's history of travel problems. I could have sworn they used to fly out on Wednesday or Thursdays. Am I misremembering that?

Always on Friday, the day before.

Why would you have them miss that many days of class?!? Stig would never do that if he could prevent it. Student comes before the athlete.

Have to agree, but sadly there's a subset that will probably chalk this up to another instance of a lack of "aggression" or that missing "killer instinct." The classic "if Stig really wanted to win, he'd see what's happened on recent trips and adjust the travel itinerary; scholar-athletes' coursework be damned."

Nevertheless, still think Jacks win by at least nine today.

Actually, I simply asked a question.

May the rolling eyes not prevent you from watching the game.

Seriously, if you won't admit some would say that, the ol' eye rolling might just be a chronic condition impairing your forum vision.

My post wasn't meant to diminish your question. It was a somewhat sarcastic reflection on the lengths some will go to criticize coaches.
