Actually taking a vacation day to drive in from western Illinois. I am more excited about this opening day than I have been for many years.

Streak, I feel the same way -- simply "pumped" up for the pre-game, the game, the new coach (who I think was the perfect choice), who'll be throwing the ball, how many show up early to tailgate.....all of those things. The last game game under the lights (if you could call them lights) was the Quincy LOSS so it will good to erase that fricking memory. I am doing my best to bring some folks from Indy but I already have some Hautions coming to par-tay. GAME ON.

Of course Ill be there but a lot of people I know are making the trip. They will all be EIU fans/alumni/boosters. Im really hoping for a win. If we lose Ill probably be quiet here for about 51 weeks. If we win I will likely be the most insufferable asshole(more than normal) in town for a while
 
Im ready for some football and some Sycamore athletics in general. Would be awesome kick off the season with a W and show everyone that the MVFC is still the king of FCS

What is the pulse of the EIU program right now? Are they confident they come in and win?

I havent heard much talk. I think they are a question mark. Mike Simmonds (former sycamore player and coach) left there as their OL coach to take to OC job at UNI and he was who i had got most of my casual info from.

at this point I think the town is happy they have a budget rather than relying on spending bills.

I think they will lean on their defense. I think the game is totally winnable even with us being a big question mark
 
Don't post much when it comes to football but really looking forward to this game.

First game in the Curt Mallory era, first game under the (new) lights in forever, first game of the season.....all adds up to must watch tv.

I'm just glad for any schedule where our first game of the season isn't against a FBS or D2 school. Would be nice to build a rivalry with EIU again.
