[birdsflyhigh]

CONGRATS BIRDS!!! Gave up a couple late TDs (when the game was well decided), but overall it was a great showing against a team the Birds should have beaten decisively. Mission accomplished!! :hurray:

Looks like IN St. went to Macomb and gave WIU all they could handle today...coming up just short of the victory. The Redbirds need to keep the hammer down next week when they travel to IN St. Throughout the season, the Sycs have definitely improved....no doubt about it.
