SIU/West Mich game thread

7-0 Southern

SIU picks off Broncos at 15 returns it 85 yds for a TD 2.5 mintues in.

[rabidsaluki]

Great defensive pressure from Dawgs O-line stopped Broncos on a corner blitz at the 5. Broncos settle for a figgie.

7-3 SIU.

[rabidsaluki]

Western Mich scores on a bizzare drive that has two holding calls on apparent TD's wierd.

10-7 WMU

Southerns offense sputtering through 1st quarter WMU ran 31 plays to Southerns 6 plays

[rabidsaluki]

Check that SIU wakes the hell up. 60yd TD Sambursky to Little

14-10 SIU

[rabidsaluki]

Southerns offense has arrived! Personal foul on WMU's lead LB that had been stopping our running game was ejected for taunting on a late hit.

21-10 SIU 4:50 left in the 2nd quarter

WMU has a crappy field surface and everyone is slipping like ice skaters. Sambursky is 8 of his last nine. SIU got a player ejected on the ensuing kickoff.

[ISUMatt]

I thought WMU had the fake grass apparently not!!! So far so good GO SIU

[rabidsaluki]

WMU gets a 15 yd break(penalty) on SIU kickoff started at SIU's 49 then scores

21-17 SIU 1:27 left untill halftime

[rabidsaluki]

Southern takes it on the kickoff for a TD, but its called back. Dumbass returner does a flip into the endzone says he was jumping over a WMU player. Gets called for unsportsmanlike conduct. Re-kick from the 50.

Southern almost breaks it again returns it from 5 deep in the endzone and gets to the 50. The kicker made an ankle tackle.


Crazy!! :eek:

[rabidsaluki]

Southerns players don't have the right shoes. Old style astroturf from the 60's Kicker has slipped on both of his FG attempts.

21-17 SIU at the half.

Should be 24-17. Southern had it 2nd and goal from the 3 Sambursky slips. Next play Sambursky slips again. FG attempt kicker slips and just missed from 24.

Realistically it should be 28-17

[Reed Rothchild]

I hope they "slip" when they come to the DOME in November!!! With our defense, we'll need SIU to slip a lot.

:spank:

Thanks for playing. Take your check and go home.

Should have won this game.

[Hansel]

Ouch, that's two tough losses for SIU to MAC teams the last two years.

[GASIUalum]

crap

[P2TheB]

We got $325K for our loss...how much did you?

[rabidsaluki]

Wierd game. Their playing surface is pretty poor. Even the twirlers slip and fall. They have that old nasty astroturf like you would buy at Lowe's. After the sun set and lights were on the turf was reflecting like it was a mirror.

I couldn't imagine having to play this game on a wet field.

SIU would have been better off wearing ice skates.

[mainejeff]

Good effort SIU.

[rabidsaluki]

A MAC school? 50-100K maybe

[GASIUalum]

$130K

[Hansel]

A MAC school? 50-100K maybe
I thought I read 140k

[rabidsaluki]

Good effort SIU.

Not good enough. WMU looked bad for most of the game. They had about 10 minutes of clarity. Should have won this one.

Thanks though.

[rabidsaluki]

I thought I read 140k


That's probably correct.

The money didn't matter we wanted the W

[rabidsaluki]

Whitlock ran for 115 80yds on returns
Little had 157 recieving

Lots of turnovers 3INT's and 2 fumbles

1-23 against 1-A schools.

Next year we get Indiana 2008 we get Northwestern.

Third time in 4 years. There was an overtime loss to EMU prior to the 2 you mention.

1-20. 2 INT's and a fumble. Don't exaggerate, it's bad enough. Don't forget the lost kickoff runback for a TD by Whitlock that was negated by a penalty. The Dawgs had chances to score at the end of each half, but failed. The MAC conference seems to jinx us. Back to the drawing board.
