I'll be making the trip from St. Charles County to WIU with my son in law. This will be my first game since I saw the Jacks play Oklahoma State in 1968 when Hank Iba was coaching (against Jim Marking), that's ancient history. Looking forward to both games, even if the arena is cold, dank and the floor is named after a garbage company.

The arena is named after former SDSU coach and athletic director R.B. "Jack" Frost. The facility, part of the Stanley J. Marshall HPER Center, now seats 6,500 fans for basketball. The SDSU-Augustana game on February 11, 1989, attracted an arena record 9,456 fans, a record which may never be broken since the new chair-back courtside seating, added before the 1992-93 season, eliminated nearly 500 seats from the arena total.

Yes, it's tiny. It's near Aberdeen. Lots of Buntrocks in the Aberdeen area.
Sounds like a baseball player on the old Flintstones TV cartoon.
Okay, back to the topic. Game time: 4:30 p.m. Hope we win big (style points).

Cheer loudly, GJ....
Who won that Oklahoma State game in '68? Anything you can remember from it?
