Nice win for the Eagles BTK

[bobbythekidd]

Nice win for the Eagles BTK
Thanks and Congrats!

[appstate38]

Looks like there will be a BIG shake up in the top 10 this week. Good win ISU

Penguins.... we feel your pain

[MSUBear42]

Congrats ISU!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see ONE team pulled the upset!!

[ysubigred]

Penguins.... we feel your pain

Thanks! You all almost pulled it off xthumbsupx

YSU just don't have the depth this year. Way to many starters went down on the team and replacing Mason and Gibson didn't happen. The Red Birds played tough and earned a "W" in the Ice Castle. Congratsulations Red Bird fans/team.

The good news is; our 5 year reign of terror with our QB will be over xmadx

[BDK@YSU]

A fairly damning stat:

Third down conversions:
IlSU 11 of 21
YSU 4 of 15

After typing out various thoughts for the past 10 minutes, my feelings are that one team made adjustments during the game and the other did not.

[skinny_uncle]

Nice win for the Eagles BTK
Good win for the Redbirds, Matt. Nice to see you are keeping your heads up after the way this season has gone for you.

[Mountain Panther]

Good win for the Redbirds, Matt. Nice to see you are keeping your heads up after the way this season has gone for you.

I see the Carbondale magic was alive and well today down there, Skinny. Good thing we had you boys in the Dome this year.

[MSUfan2010]

How Missouri State managed to beat the Redbirds is now beyond me. Glad to do it though xwhistlex

[ISUMatt]

We have been very Jeckyl & Hyde...Lose to Drake, beat YSU, lose to MSU, beat EIU...gave UNI a run for their money...very strange but with WIU, @ SIU, @ NDSU still looming....YUCK!!!

[skinny_uncle]

With no playoff shot, you guys were just playing for some respect today. I think that is tougher than playing for a playoff spot sometimes.

[ISUMatt]

The team believes that if they run the table now at 7-4 with wins over SIU and YSU and NDSU, they can get in...let them dream skinny, let them dream!!! LOL

[DoubleE]

well, there goes any playoff hopes

[Saluki_man]

The team believes that if they run the table now at 7-4 with wins over SIU and YSU and NDSU, they can get in...let them dream skinny, let them dream!!! LOL

If you can get those three wins, especially since both SIU and NDSU are on the road, I can deffinitly see this team leapfrogging some 8-3 teams for playoff consideration. The loss to Drake might kill that chance, even with the strong closing schedule.

[birdbrain]

Wooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooo

No INTS or Fumbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DREAM BABY DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoGuins]

well, there goes any playoff hopes
YSU's only chance is to win out starting with a win @ UNI this week which will be just about impossible

[Pard4Life]

The score is listed in error on the college news site.. please fix it somebody..

[ISUMatt]

What is it listed as?

[skinny_uncle]

I see the Carbondale magic was alive and well today down there, Skinny. Good thing we had you boys in the Dome this year.
Good for you, maybe.
