[leatherneck177]

Gotta love ISUr still being ranked above UNI.

[dbackjon]

As usual, a joke.

Davis is #7?

[Catbooster]

Gotta love ISUr still being ranked above UNI.
And Western Illinois unranked (ORV)

[Bison56]

xlolx

[JSUSoutherner]

Beating UTM with 30 on the clock must be mighty impressive.

[POD Knows]

They got the #1 spot. Not to sure about the rest.

Thank god that JMU (6--3) is still in the Top 10 and ranked ahead of Delaware! That loss to UNH was an impressive loss! And after all they are the 2017 runner-up.....that has to count for something, no?

Should be an easy win for Kennesaw next weekend then!

[JSUSoutherner]

Who is voting for Sam Houston State? Wow.

[ElCid]

OMG not even any ORV for Furman. Cue, the Furman crowd.

[Kramden]

I cant believe Furman didnt get any votes; you would assume the Colgate representatives and the Patriot League Representatives would vote for them since 'Gate chickened out of playing them.

[Bisonator]

They got the #1 spot.
Which amazes me since they seem to draw names out of a hat every week. xlolx

[Sycamore62]

Nice to see ISUb ORV'in

[McNeese72]

No Southland teams deserve to be in any of the polls.

Doc

[Daytripper]

Sam Houston still getting votes... SMDH

[Go...gate]

There is a Monmouth College in Illinois. It's D3 and about half an hour from WIU...

Dustinthorn, I see you are from Galesburg. Any connection with Knox College? My father's alma mater - he also did aviation training there in WWII.

Actually yeah I do have a small connection! I help the football team as an Assistant Character Coach. I help the youth pastor at my church every weekend and have wanted to be a youth pastor for awhile so he asked me to help him out with them! Had a rough year so far. Got beat this weekend by the aforementioned Monmouth Fighting Scots 40-7 this week to drop us to 2-7.

[dustinthorn93]

Very disciplined team too. Got to watch them this weekend from the Knox sideline. Big OL for a D3 school.

It is a great school that my father loved. I went out to see it many years ago and fell in love with the place myself. Love the Knox Bowl!

The Midwest Conference plays a good brand of D-III football.

All my siblings were born in Monmouth (I was born in Canton).

[dustinthorn93]

All my siblings were born in Monmouth (I was born in Canton).

I was raised in Macomb and my wife and I moved to Galesburg a few years ago. She just got a job in Canton about a year ago! Small world!

[ST_Lawson]

How did the Coaches Poll thread suddenly turn into "everyone has connections to west-central IL"?

I mean, I do (family from Monmouth and Galesburg...my dad grew up across the street from Monmouth College)...but I'm still in Macomb, so it makes sense for me to have those connections.


All my siblings were born in Monmouth (I was born in Canton).

If you spent any time in Canton when you were younger, I'm reasonably certain you're familiar with some of my ancestors. Seems like half the stuff in town is named after them.

Because the Coaches Poll is always terrible and only deserves about a page and a half of conversation haha

My Dad was a Methodist Preacher, so moved every few years. Was in Little York when siblings were born, moved to London Mills before I was born.

Didn't spend much time there - we moved from the area to East Central Illinois (then back to Kewanee area, then to Springfield) when I was 2 :)

[ST_Lawson]

Damn...throwing out some really small towns there (both are under 500 people, for those that aren't aware). My mom's family farm where she grew up was only about 7 miles from Little York, and I head past London Mills every time I head over to Normal for a game at ILSU...which seems like it's been rather often the last few years.

[Sycamore62]

EAGLE RIVER!?!?!?!

I, for one, have ZERO connections to west-central IL, and I am damn happy for that. I've never had to set foot in IL except to get to the other side.

Never heard of this school, but I like them already

You can't be too surprised that they're still giving JMU credit for last season's runner up finish, when Jacksonville State is STILL getting credit for finishing runner up in 2015!

[Serpentor]

Who is voting for Sam Houston State? Wow.

Bison fans.

[cx500d]

Bison fans.

We need to keep them in the poll so we can claim they don't belong

[Rob Butler]

How is Lamar not even receiving votes? It's puzzling, considering that they've beaten UIW, Sam, and UCA... All of which are receiving votes.

So, he just spent time circling Macomb, then, eh?

[dbackjon]

So, he just spent time circling Macomb, then, eh?

Pretty much. Young minister, fresh out of Seminary, hit up a lot of the little churches (usually had multiple country churches at once), then as he got older. had kids, etc, moved to bigger churches for longer periods.

[Go...gate]

Never heard of this school, but I like them already

Cornell College (Iowa). Very fine academic school.

[Go...gate]

I was raised in Macomb and my wife and I moved to Galesburg a few years ago. She just got a job in Canton about a year ago! Small world!

Galesburg is a really nice town. One of the Lincoln - Douglas debates was held at Knox College.

[dustinthorn93]

Yeah we really like it here. When we first moved a few years back it was kind of...dropping. but it seems to be picking up steam again. It's encouraging.
