Interesting. My son played football for Hope and stays in contact with him and his wife. His impression was that Hope was very much interested in the job. I guess life circumstances changed...

I was disappointed by this selection. As far as I am concerned, Danny Hope should have gotten the head coach position. He clearly has a proven history of results with the program, including a...

Completely detached from reality

Yup, I've seen and heard this all before. I remember EKU in 2008 - they dominated conference play all season, but had to go on the road to Richmond, where they were promptly rolled 38-10. If I...

Being familiar with EIU, as well as the OVC in general, I can tell you that the Panthers (as well as the other "top tier" OVC teams), don't show up when they need to deliver. This is why the OVC...

Cocky, I couldn't agree more; I don't understand your institution's love affair with Crowe. I was very optimistic about your season, but then that 55-21 shellacking delivered by EKU really left me...

I've been to Fargo and Richmond both. Will take Fargo hands down over Richmond. Feel sorry for the dude who had the misfortune to have to move down there. Except for its proximity to Bardstown and...

Is this some sort of sick joke? FOUR teams from the OVC? Props to JSU and SEMO, but that's all the recognition the OVC deserves here.

Don't be so certain. SEMO has been surprising people all season long. They'll definitely have their work cut out for 'em (especially playing on that awful red turf), but I think they are up to it. ...

Agreed completely. It's good to see these kind of improvements in a conference that receives so little respect. The OVC with a top 5 team? Who'd a thunk it.

Boy, have you got that right. It was a virtual ghost town the last two games I attended at MSU. There were by far more fans for the opposition than for the home team (and these were homecoming...

This is great news! Too bad you guys couldn't represent the OVC in the playoffs this season. I was very impressed with your play.

Hmm...Georgia State? Is this an opponent you intend on having on your docket on a yearly basis? I figured they would be looking for some "softer" opponents their first year out, but what the heck,...

Agreed - and Zalesky hasn't done squat since leaving for Oregon State.

I was pretty surprised at that abysmal showing by UNI though - Brad Penrith is a Gable protege and a much better coach than...

Umm...you're forgetting wrestling as well, though I saw the Iowa/UNI dual and it wasn't pretty.

As long as that is the logic behind it, then I'm all for it. Coach Hood is a class act.

The Marching Southerners of Jacksonville State are by far the most OUTSTANDING band I've had the pleasure of seeing. Something you must see to believe!

The addition of a tough MVFC and greatly improved SoCon opponent to the schedule is great, but wow, I'm baffled as to why EKU has reduced itself to playing DII Kentucky State. Is this supposed to...

To be honest, EIU has been somewhat of an enigma this season, at times playing brilliantly and at others looking absolutely abysmal. After the UT-Martin blowout I really thought the team had found...

Cocky, I agree completely. Looking forward to see you finish the season right with a solid win over EKU. I'm sure RP hasn't forgotten last year's game and will be looking for a little retribution.

Good to see ESPNU spending some time in Charleston, IL for a change. I'm really pulling for you guys to win out, grab the the OVC title and the AQ for the playoffs!
GO PANTHERS!

20 points?!? That's funny.

Would really like to see EIU win out and grab the AQ. But as far as getting to host a game, besides the bid, what about facilities? How do SIU's facilities compare to EIU's? I've seen EIU's...

I have seen you play, but not since I departed South Carolina for the midwest a couple of years ago. I agree that you most certainly should have received a playoff berth last year. My current...
