found a pre-game article on Scout.com. The NIU fans think NIU will score at will on Saturday.

I would guess Jerry Kill will pull the starters in the 3rd quarter if it's too out of hand.
might as well get a game thread going since EIU has released their pregame info. Nothing from ISU yet though. EIU is still ranked in the top 20 in both I-AA polls.
EIU release
Hopefully the 16 days off have helped ISU
just an article in today's paper about all the local kids heading to ISU, good to see this happening for Meggs. Would have been nice to have Josh Phegley on the team instead of having him go to IU.

A quote from Bowling Green Coach Louis Orr nails it for our program this upcoming season:
" Any good team, anyone with NCAA expectations has to be able to win on the road. ? That's what we've got to learn to do. It's what's separating us from greatness right now."

The Ballyhoo will be showing the ISU vs Eastern Michigan game tommorrow night on the big screen at 7pm. kick off the season with $1.00 Longnecks and 14" large cheese pizzas for $6.99. Hope to see you there!
ISU's men were picked 3rd, the women 6th in the preseason MVC media poll. This seems about right based on who is returning from last season. Hopefully both ISU teams finish high at the MVC meet later this Fall.
MVC Release
The position battles on Indiana State?s football team will likely rage on for the entire season, but ISU coach Trent Miles gave the first tangible indication of who?s ahead of whom.

ISU was awarded the 2009 NCAA championship meet for Cross Country today. As many of you know ISU has hosted this meet for quite a while now and does an outstanding job (one reason they keep hosting the meet).
I know most people know very little and don't care too much about cross country, but...
It has only been 26 days since the 2008 Indiana State football team came together under one roof. Put that in perspective for a moment ? the mortgage or rent payment you?ve paid for that period likely covers a longer period of time than the Sycamores have spent together.

ISU?s football team has spent nearly a month learning its playbook, who can and can?t execute, and learning about itself. During Tuesday night?s scrimmage, ISU finally got a dress rehearsal to put the work into practice.

surprised noone posted a link to this yet. Good "welcome" letter from Todd Golden to new ISU president Bradley regarding the state of ISU sports.
He has alot to say in the article. Let's all hope the upswing continues at ISU.

When Indiana State linebacker Darrell Ricker intercepted a Matt Seliger pass and ran it back for a touchdown during a practice drill on Wednesday, you?d think by watching the jubilant reaction that the Sycamores had just won the Missouri Valley Football Conference title.
