Get on tv and scream Twentysix rules.

[ST_Lawson]

Get on tv and scream Twentysix rules.

Can't promise anything, but I'll try. I'm about halfway up the Western section

[POD Knows]

Yep. Watching it. Ass kicking so far. Go WIU.

[BisonTru]

WIU is the better team for sure. Get it done guys.

[ST_Lawson]

End of 1st, WIU up 14-0. NIU is moving down the field fairly well this drive though.

[ST_Lawson]

NIU had to go for it on 4th and goal, but got a TD. WIU still up 14-7.

[Drblankstare]

Flipping between this and the UND MSU. God I love the future.

WIU looks damn good

[TheKingpin28]

I am so glad the MVFC has an ESPN 3 deal. One of the better things the league has done. I know that does not always include OOC games but it is extremely nice.

No doubt

[ST_Lawson]

WIU squanders good field position with a missed FG. Still 14-7. 5:35 left in half

[BisonTru]

These cameramen are awful. I think this might be their first football game.

[ST_Lawson]

Clock runs out. WIU up 14-7 at halftime. Leathernecks get the ball in the second half.

[ST_Lawson]

Couple of missed opportunities for Western though. Could easily have 2 Fgs too and have 6 more points.

[BisonTru]

Wow get out of bounce bud. No need to try and get an extra foot.

[POD Knows]

WIU left a bunch of points out there. Dominated the first half it is their game to lose

[ST_Lawson]

Yea, could have done better on that last drive. He was thinking endzone too early.

[Drblankstare]

They were the better team for sure, but I'm always weary when the underdog can't cash in on good chances.

[skinny_uncle]

Get 'em, Necks.

[centennial]

WIU using some pro sets? Woah.

[ST_Lawson]

First and inches for Western

[ST_Lawson]

TD Leathernecks

[centennial]

TD Leathernecks

You at the game? I am a minute behind you.

[ST_Lawson]

Qb keeper, WIU up 20-7. 11:18 left in 3rd Q

[ST_Lawson]

Missed XP, but ran into kicker. XP good on rekick. WIU up 21-7

[Drblankstare]

Great the Necks are a threat, Jesus ****ing Christ, this league is stupid dangerous:D

[ST_Lawson]

Hi guys....we're back 😉

[ST_Lawson]

WIU interception. Moving the ball. On the 8 now.

[centennial]

Hi guys....we're back 

WIU looks like solid 2nd in the valley.

[ST_Lawson]

TD Leathernecks. 28-7, 7:20 left in 3rd.

[TheKingpin28]

Watching it on ESPN 3 and WIU looks like they are ready for the gauntlet of the MVFC. There is going to be some black and blue football in the Valley which doe not bode well for seeding as I feel like teams are going to be beating up on each other.

The point has been made, but how great is it being able to see these games. Love it.

[ST_Lawson]

Start of the 4th
Western still up 28-7.

Lots of NIU fans leaving.

[ST_Lawson]

NIU gets a FG. 28-10 Western.

[ST_Lawson]

Come on Leathernecks, can't go easy on them now.

TD for NIU.
WIU up 28-17 with 11:39 left in the game.

[centennial]

I like how WIU keeps getting penalties. Typical vs FBS teams.

[Twentysix]

Td niu

[centennial]

I can't watch this. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

[ST_Lawson]

Yea, a very NIU friendly crew.

TD NIU, 2 pt attempt stopped.

WIU up 28-23, 8:15 left in game.

I think the reciever stepped out of bounds, but they didn't even review it.

[ST_Lawson]

OK, I didn't realize a defender could play piggy back with a reciever and not get a flag.

[centennial]

OK, I didn't realize a defender could play piggy back with a reciever and not get a flag.

I can't believe some of these calls from the refs.

[ST_Lawson]

I can't believe some of these calls from the refs.

Ok, so it's not just my perspective.

[ST_Lawson]

WHAT THE HELL...he was grabbing all over Lenoir. No pass interference.

[centennial]

OMFG what a **** call.

[TheKingpin28]

Ok, so it's not just my perspective.

FBS ALWAYS gets calls that FCS will never get. FBS teams are like the Packers of the D1 football. They always get calls that no one else will.

[Twentysix]

Meh that was a good no call.

[centennial]

Ok, so it's not just my perspective.

I mean I only watch 15 hours of football a week. Never amazes me how the refs turn on FCS teams if they are winning.

You need to step up your game.

[Mike296]

WIU got the stop on 4th down! All they need to do is run some clock

[centennial]

You need to step up your game.

Did you even see the call? The receiver didn't run the full route because he was held up. They should've shown the replay.

He tripped up that's not defensive pass interference.

They pulled an iowa.

[Twentysix]

Wiu can't tackle this series

[Twentysix]

[POD Knows]

[ST_Lawson]

4th and 3 on the 9. This is the game.

[Twentysix]

Great job wiu. You probably are in my top 5 tonight.

[BisonTru]

Nice job!! MVFC 2-0 vs the Mac 2-1 vs the Big 10.

[mmiller_34]

Wow. Western (and the refs) did about everything they could to give the game away in that last quarter. Glad they hung on.

[skinny_uncle]

Nice.

[Drblankstare]

Great job WIU.

[BEAR]

Way to go WIU!

[ST_Lawson]

Played too conservatively too soon. Way closer than it should have been. Glad we came away with the win though.

[BisonFan02]

Hell yeah WIU! LOL MACtion. MVFC > MAC #betterthanyou

[TheKingpin28]

They are Mac west right?

Yes but I was just posting the east only. Still, it is always good to beat up on the G5 who wish they were P5

[Schism55]

Congrats 'Necks!!
Get that scalp!

Congratulations Leathernecks! Another win for the FCS over FBS.

[Bison56]

Nice win WIU.

[skinny_uncle]

We beat NIU in 2007. Since then:

1. They have never played us again.

2. They stole our coach.

Best of luck to you guys.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Nice work Necks!

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

I knew Charlie Fisher would do a terrific job for WIU. Very happy for him.

thats four wins in the past five games against NIU dating back to 1990. I keep waiting for them to stop scheduling Western.

[F'N Hawks]

They fire Hot Rod yet?

[mamberso]

Congrats WIU

Good one WIU!

[F'N Hawks]

Great job WIU. FBS in-state win!

[ST_Lawson]

Not yet as far as I know, but it wouldn't surprise me. Quite a few NIU fans were calling for his head even before this weekend. I don't know when they'll pull the trigger, but unless they sweep the MAC, he won't be back next year.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I've been saying this. WIU is the 2nd best Valley team right now. They have 3 quality wins and should be in the Top 10 this week!

[PantherRob82]

I think they should be in the top 10 this week, but I am just as skeptical on them as I am on Northern Iowa and South Dakota state. It's hard to say that they have three quality wins. Northern Illinois is terrible. I think any top 25 FCS team should have had them on the ropes. it's good that Western Illinois I was able to close them out. Northern Arizona has no Division 1 wins. I think it's easy to say that the jury is still out on them. Eastern Illinois is hard to argue with since they have an FBS win and I win over Illinois State, although the shine on the Illinois State when is falling off. Luckily we get to see this all play out.

I can get on board with this.

Nice win, Leathernecks. Way to do FCS proud!
