I am really looking forward to seeing the guys play Thursday. Hopefully the weather will hold up, I know alot of the Senece fan base would like to come and see either this game or the one on Sat. in Indiana. I know that this is a big game for them, and Garrett has alot of family and friends coming! Keep it up guys, I love watching you play, and I know you've got what it takes to win!!! Show Western just how good you are!! GOOOOO JackSSSSSSS

Re: At Western Illinois, Jan 10

Just some thoughts from afar. I am not signed up for Summit TV I just follow the stats and read what you folks who attend the games have to say. However, that being said there is a part of me that is not that upset with some of these close losses. Don't get me wrong, ideally we would like to be undefeated but let's be logical here. What a great athletic education these kids are getting this year when they still are not eligible for post season play. The refs are getting to know their games and their abilities. When Kai and Garrett are seniors and Moss and Sargeant are juniors two years from now think of all the experience they will have gleaned. Yes, there could be injuries or tranfers but let's be honest, when these guys, own mothers, are showing as much or more excitement on this board as the SDSU alums it makes me think their sons might just be happy in Brookings, with some real goals that all of us would like to see achieved. What a great time to be an alum from SDSU and for the rest of us who are more casual fans. We need to continue to get some good recruits, but I am really looking forward to two years from now. That is when I see a real possibility of making the big dance and the biggest sporting event to EVER hit South Dakota. Getting there next year would be even better.

Thanks for the reality check...it is great to see these Moms have the interest they do in the Jacks. Could not be prouder myself!

What a great time to be a Jackrabbit.

Re: At Western Illinois, Jan 10

Couldn't make the last couple of games. I became a grandma for the 1st time on Dec. 18th and they are also moving into a house they built, plus Conlan still had a game. I listen to it on the radio though, it's kinda funny, we all sit around the computer and eat supper!! Once in a while I get upset and yell at it and some food goes flying, oh well. I try to make less messy things to eat on game night, just for that reason!!!! We will be at Western, and at IPEW on Sat. to cheer the team on. They can do it!! PLAY HARD AND FINISH STRONG, Guys.
WE LOVE YA

Re: At Western Illinois, Jan 10

Let's go men. This is a big one. You know Saturday night is going to be tough at IUPUI's house, so it makes this one even more important.

Re: At Western Illinois, Jan 10

I believe its a 7 pm tip CST. That means about 35 minutes. Steve should be on WNAX in about 10 minutes.
