Congratulations Football Bears!

Missouri State won its first Valley Football road game in four years yesterday over Illinois State. What is more impressive is that they came back in the fourth quarter. It seems like this team is getting better each week and is playing to their full potential. I would love to have the Washburn Ichabod game back, but a win next week over the 16th ranked (who surely will be ranked higher this week in the polls), severely hated Salukis would make that loss go away in my eyes. The Bears would be near the top of the conference and in a position to get into the playoffs. Go Bears!

Embarrassing

Missouri State lost to the D-II Washburn Ichabods last night 35-27...the ICHABODS! Coach Allen said it was the worst team that he ever fielded for a game. I had to eat crow this morning to people I work with who are SIU Saluki fans. If you want to read all about the disasterous game, read the article at the News-Leader. I have heard that Coach Allen is the last chance to save the football Bears. Given his tract record, if he can't do it, I don't think anyone can. This is just sad. I can't discuss this any longer.
