WOW!!!! Everyone healthy for the salukis?

[siugrad99]

Congrats again to another Gateway opponent who did their homework about our pathetic defense. ILSU is kicking our @ss and we can't do a damn thing about it. This could get ugly in a hurry. Just goes to show how much the people doing the rankings truly know. There is one thing I know.... 7-4 at best this year and no playoffs. We don't deserve it and have been overhyped all season.

Pathetic.... Congrats to ILSU for handing it to us.

Looks like Southern Illinois, Montana, and James Madison will all be upset. Maybe Western Kentucky will blow their lead? Who else will step up in the top 5? Cal Poly probably.

I had them in my poll at one point. I might be time to look at putting them back in. :nod:

The salukis havn't given up 38 points in a game since the Delaware game in the 2003 playoffs.

[Pantherpower]

Holy crap!!!!!!! Couldn't believe this score when I got home from the UNI-InSU game. Thank God we were playing Indiana State tonight. Any other team from the Gateway and we probably would've been beat. Self-destructed in the red zone a couple of times. Ugly game, but QB Dexter Hill looked good and had some game experience before traveling to Illinois State for what looks to be an awfully tough game against the Birds!! :eek:

[FlyYtown]

Not surprised one bit. After I saw ISU at Stambaugh 2 weeks ago I knew they would kill anyone who would think its an easy win.

CONGRATS TO THE REDBIRDS.
Now YSU continues to rise..

[skinny_uncle]

It's only halftime.
I know they say the game ain't over until Sambursky says it's over.
Glad I wasn't in that locker room at the half.

Thank God you are beating this team handily. I know YSU can go in there and compete with the Saluki's, NOT LOOKING AHEAD. BUt if you recall in 2003 we went in their place and blew a 4th quarter lead.

apparently 80% of the Saluki faithful has left the building to watch the White Sox...

[ISUMatt]

Looks like SIU's Coach Kill is having a seizure at the end of the game. An ambulance is on the field to take him to the hospital. OH MAN I Hope I am wrong here!!!

[skinny_uncle]

Game is called.
Coach Kill had a seizure and was taken out in an ambulance.
Our prayers go out to coach Kill.
The teams met for prayer on the field at the end of the game.
Strange ending to a strange night.

[ISUMatt]

ISU HC Denver Johnson led both teams in a prayer at the 50 yard line. Great win, but my thoughts and prayers to Coach Kill and SIU right now.

[skinny_uncle]

Real Life has a way of intruding on the games we play.
Hang in there, Coach Kill.
We love you much.

[ISUMatt]

Apparently there is a history of seizures, none so far being serious, lets hope history repeats here!!

[GASIUalum]

yea, he has had a seizure at game end before if i remember right.
i think it was a road game though

[Tod]

My knowledge of seizures is very limited, but my two oldest daughters both have seizure disorders, 100% controlable with medication. I believe the vast majority of seizures don't cause any harm, it's where you are and what you're doing that is dangerous (Strangely, two kids I graduated from HS with lost siblings to seizures in the bathtub).

Coach Kill was in the right place, with immediate medical attention as well, so knowing nothing else about the situation or his health, I would think he'll be alright if it was simply a "normal" seizure.

Best of luck to Coach Kill.
