NDSU--they're at home

UNI--MSU offense better than you think, QB WR and RB are pretty damn good. But their defense?

SIU--Salukis had 412 total yards to 293 for MSU but only scored 20 points--need a bit of redzone practice I guess.

ISU Blue ought to win just on their offense. Does SDSU have an offense?

After a 3-2 pick 'em result last week (making it 22-6 for the season), it's onto MVFC week #5:

Winners:
Bison
Panthers
Salukis
Jacks



Think the SIU/WIU game might be closer than many think, and the Jacks need to get this one at home or their season is tubes-ville.

ROCK IT MVFC!! xhighfivex

Illinois St @ North Dakota St - This has the makings of a letdown game but tickets are already down to standing room only and it's homecoming. I don't see the Bison having a letdown in front of a potentially record breaking crowd at the Fargodome.
Northern Iowa @ Missouri St - Panthers keep rolling through the soft part of the conference schedule.
Southern Illinois @ Western Illinois - After their underwhelming performance last week I might be putting too much stock into how well the Salukis played Ole Miss but I think they've got the Necks outmatched on both sides of the ball.
Indiana St @ South Dakota St - Getting Sumner some PT may be a blesssing in disguise the way the Jacks season seems to be going. He had an admirable stat line last week for getting thrown into the fire so quickly but the Trees offense is too formidable for him to keep up with.

Lindenwood @ South Dakota - Lindenwood won't sneak up on USD after beating Northern Colorado (even though everyone seems to beat UNC).

I am not sure that is true as I think a win is always better than a loss.

I am predicting Lindenwood 27 USD 21.

In other news:

SIU over WIU -- closer than the experts would predict
NDSU over ISUr -- Could be a trap coming of their huge game in Minneapolis, but will pull away at the end
ISUb over SDSU -- The Jacks are in disarray, and ISU has been TCB.

ISUr @ NDSU - Gotta love the Bison at home
UNI @ MSU - Bears are winless on the year; Springfield seems apathetic about the bears
SIU @ WIU - I'll pick 'em, but this looks dangerous for the Salukis; a solid opening game at SEMO was great - but last week's skin-of-the-teeth win vs. the Bears, not so much.
ISUb @ SDSU - I love the Sycamores this year, but this week is a classic time to buy into the hype and lose to a talented - if inconsistent - Jackrabbit team.

And I'll take South Dakota.

Lindenwood is in St. Louis. They have a ton of money, and a stadium that is probably nicer than the bottom half of the MVFC, both ISU's, WIU, SDSU, SD if we are including them, it is pretty cool. It might be 5-10 years down the road but if they ever continue transition they would be a great school in the MVFC.

PANTHERS - should be a pretty comfortable win for UNI
SALUKIES - WIU is horrible this year, Salukies get some false confidence with a solid road win
TREES - SDSU will give them a tougher game than WKU did, trees still win
YOTES - slight difference in competition this week

Pretty good weekend to be a road team.

How did that taste admitting that?

I wanted them out of the MVFC because they have no program: high school facilities, low attendance, low season ticket sales, low donations. Probably have the lowest coaching salaries in the MVFC. How is humanly possible to attract talented football players and coaches to a team like that?

If you were a pretty good football player, even in Indiana, and thought you could play FCS level ball somewhere - wouldn't Indiana St be one of the last places you would ever consider? But somehow - someway, he's gotten players to go there. Maybe I don't want to know how he did it - if you know what I mean. But whatever, he got them there and now they're winning games. Even have Nike uniforms! Ah, credibility!

Congrats, hope they can turn the momentum into something more permanent (like a real stadium), but probably what will happen is the coach will be hired by a bigger school, take his staff with him and leave IN St back at square one.

3-1 indicates you are incorrect...Last year we wouldn't win a game in conference, this year we don't have a program, what's next? Haha, the Locker rooms and stadium is improved and it clearly isn't the prettiest place on the planet but hey, it's ours.

Sounds good! Just keep in mind - the success of a team this season is due to the players and coaches on the team this season. Things change season to season, let alone 5 seasons from now or even 10 seasons from now!

IN St started winning last season and seem to have sustained so far this season. Before that? Unwatchable bad. Who's to say that won't come back ones these seniors and juniors are gone in a couple season, possibly with Miles gone onwards and upwards to a bigger program? If the city of TH builds IN St a stadium - and that's the only way it's going to get done - that would be a huge step towards the long term credibility of the program. I hope that happens.

So theoretically you are now speaking. Before you are right, we were bad, real bad. But unfortunately for everyone else, that's not the current. Just say it, "I may have underestimated the trees a wee bit. I may have been wrong." That's all I ask, and considering facts prove that you were...

Wasn't my intention. MPLSBison just stated several times in the past Indiana State "doesn't belong in the MVFC." I just thought it was an interesting change in opinion.

September 29th, 2011, 10:19 PM
Yea...gotta back Greenwell up here...he's not being cocky about ISU....he and MplsBison argued a lot in the past about the state of ISU football. Bison wasn't exactly the most optimistic about the turnaround and made some rather inflammatory comments. That said, I am pleased he recognizes the Trees for who they are this year...a good team and a little bit of an underdog to take the MVC crown....exactly why we love our team...been through the worst and now enjoying the turnaround for all it's worth. As for Bison's speculation of the future...the coach? Who knows....but each recruiting class is better and better...think about it, most of the seniors and juniors came to ISU during the losing streak...our sophomores came with 1 win. Our freshmen came in after a winning season...now we have been fully funded by our board for all 63 scholarships...we should now be able to go anywhere for talent. Aside from the coach the entire structure of the program has changed. Even if Miles leaves one day we'll have something for the new coach to work with.

Call me crazy...it's happening. Will there be ups and downs...sure. Fouch is hard to replace. Try this on for size....if Miles could build this team in four years with mostly true freshmen who came during the losing....on partial scholarship...what can he do with another 40 or so fully funded out of state schollies, a new field, new weight room, football offices, equipment, locker rooms, the possibility of a new stadium, and players who are 5th years (which we won't really have a full class until 2014). Our University President, A.D, board, and alums are committed to this project. It's happening

Got to disagree with this considering the recruiting ground Indiana State sits on. Indianapolis is a hotbed for pretty darn (oh yeah, Indiana language is growing on me) good football players, Shakir Bell (Parade All American at Warren Central) is a perfect example of the type of player we could attract, an undersized running back but damn is he good. Two 200 hundred yard plus rushing games ALREADY this year.
On the subject of Ronnie, Trent has done a good job of bring in a guy who could possibly take over the reigns in Caleb Watkins a transfer from Bowling Green State. A lot of talent just need to see him be brought in fully and see what he's got.

.

-ISUr@NDSU- The birds have a chance if they can sustain their confidence and don’t make mistakes. They will have a close game with the bison, but being on the road might/probably be too much. ISUr could be good and possibly pull the upset. I will still go with the home team.

- ISUb@SDSU-- Always tough to win at SDSU, the game could go either way but again I think that the home team prevails. ISU is on a roll and SDSU has been close at times, but since the QB left the team could swing things toward ISUb. PUSH xconfusedx

- UNI@MSU-- MSU’s first home game and they are 0-4 to start and probably 0-5 after this game. -UNI goes into Springfield to win. Probably giving TA his walking papers in the process. It will not be an easy game, but MSU will have just started the season as tough as it gets, I believe UNI wins. Although the way that MSU gave the Salukis a game I wonder if their tough pre-conference season gave them a chip on their shoulder and they are better than many believe (seasoned with toughness). The game will tell.

- SIU@WIU-- Interstate rivalry can be tough on both teams, but SIU has more talent and WIU just had two rough road games therefore SIU prevails. This will be an interesting match as WIU struggled against UNI last week and SIU struggled against MSU also. Could very well be a toss-up, if that is the case SIU could be in for a tough season, although I believe the MSU game was probably a fluke

- Bye, nice timing for YSU well needed.


Bonus:
Lindenwood U @ USD – Tough call Lindenwood U has been a decent team even tough they were NAIA last year and transitioning to DII this season. USD is at home which gives them the advantage, I will say this will be a lot closer than most think (within 2 scores) and go with USD although something say LU will have a chance.

On to the subject at hand,
Illinois State versus NDSU- Taking the Bison but not by a million.
UNI Versus MSU- UNI, too big, too strong.
SIU @ WIU I will take SIU, I haven't seen enough of either team to really make a decision on them but I will say this: SIU is a semi-proven quantity and WIU hasn't shown me anything to say that their proven quantity is a good one.
Indiana State @SDSU- Taking the Trees.

Of course I wasn't wrong. At the time, IN St didn't deserve to be in the MVFC. In terms of the revenue that your football team generates - I'm sure you're still dead last in the MVFC and probably by a significant margin.

I congratulate your coach for being able to do what should be impossible: recruit coaches and players to ISU that can win 4-5 MVFC games a year. He doesn't have the facilities. He doesn't have the recruiting budget. he can't offer competitive salaries to attract top assistants. He certainly can't offer a winning tradition. Must be one heck of a smooth salesman! I imagine that he promised a lot of kids an opportunity to start 4 years straight out of high school and coaches the chance to be apart of turning around a program. I'm sure that appeals to some players and coaches.

The next challenge is to sustain and do something great over an extended period, like NDSU did in the 1980's.

UNI. Had they ever done anything in their history worth mentioning, you would never hear the end of it.

That stadium is nicer than anything on WIU's campus...

One mans opinion,

My opinion happens to be playing college football (or any football for that matter) indoors is an abomination. I guess the UNI Dome structure is OK, It is functional, it just doesn't seem very attractive or seem like a great environment to take in a football game.

Hanson Field is only partially a dump.

I thought it was fully a dump, but again one mans opinion. And I am sure we are all partial to our own stadiums.

I would like for us to have a newer stadium, but the renovations have made it a little better. I would still like an indoor stadium because it proves who the better team is, and I don't want to be outside freezing in November or December here in Iowa.

How does an indoor stadium prove who the better team is?

Only 1 non-WIU fan picks WIU, and he gets crap for it.

Just sayin'

SIU not as good as I thought.

Looks like the legitimate pecking order in the MVFC is: (for now)

1 - UNI
2 - NDSU
3 - IN St

Because the conditions are perfect. You get to see which team can actually play football better not just handle adverse weather conditions. There is a reason they play the Super Bowl in domes most of the time, or in great weather like Florida or California.

Was Panther Rob right all along when he didn't have SIU in his early polls? It would seem he was...
