Saluki Stadium in Carbondale really is great for the size of the conference. Carbondale is a award winning “Tree City”, whatever that means, so I’m glad you touched on it. There’s a great view inside of part of campus and the iconic “Towers”, and some real Saluki dogs are always on the grassy hill for kids to come pet and take pictures with. Thanks for covering!

Western Illinois' stadium is named for Ray "Rock" Hanson, a veteran that served in both World Wars under the Marine Corps. He coached the WIU program from 1926 to 1941 and gained permission from the Corps to use the leatherneck nickname for the team.
@burninghammerstudios70332 роки тому
"leatherneck" is a nickname for the U.S Marines. they got that nickname because back in the old times they used to have big leather collars on their combat uniforms. the reason our logo is a bulldog, is because they've also been nicknamed "devil dogs" by their enemies. Colonel Hanson had to ask the US Navy for permission to use the name as he had served in the Marine Corps before landing at WIU. We are the only non military school to use a military nickname

Indiana State has been discussing a new stadium since I was there in the early 2000’s. The current one is pretty bad, and while the site is historic (I appreciate preserving historic stadiums), there’s nearly nothing left of the beautiful baseball park it used to be. They released renderings of a new on campus 8k seat facility a couple years ago. Not sure of the current timeline. Also, I’ve always disliked the idea of off campus stadiums. I attended a d2 that was like that, as did my wife (hers was about 10 miles from the school!). It’s hard to build a game day atmosphere.

I played in this Conference, though at the time, it was called the MVC for basketball and was known as The Gateway for football. Youngstown was more of a power back then, but Northern Iowa had guys like Kurt Warner. Back then tons of FBS guys, old DIV 1A, would transfer to FCS schools to avoid losing a year of eligibility. Our QB lost his starting job at Indiana for Antwaan Randel El, one of our RB was from Michigan, we had 2 DB's transfer in from Wisconsin that were wrapped up some kinda deal that got the kicked out of school but had started significant Big10 games. Western Illinois had some stone cold killers on their squad, shout out to Edgerton Hartwell, prev of the ATL Falcons......

You may want to re-check your figures on the Alerus Center in comparison to the Fargo Dome. Your capacity listed for Alerus Center was 21,000. The Alerus Center actually holds around 10,000. The Fargo Dome holds 18,000-plus as you listed. Not taking sides (ND-State vs UND), just trying to get it right. I'd suspect the Alerus Center could hold 21,000 for concerts or some kind of entertainment, but for football, the listed capacity is around 10,000.

It's unclear actually. There is semi-origin story of the basketball team's bus breaking down in the cold and the players walking around the ice and snow looked like penguins but the research does not add up. The name started in late 1933 but nobody knows for sure why. The school had several live mascots that lasted until the 60s. Let's just say that the treatment of these creatures was rather horrifying.

I believe Normal, Illinois, got its name because the university there was originally a "normal school," i.e., a teacher-training institute.

When NDSU got their chance, Bau tried to freeze the kicker by calling a time OUT BUT the team went through the drill anyway, so the kicker got the sense on how far to kick it into the stiff wind. When play resumed he kicked that ball at least 20 or more feet, wide right & the wind blew it right back between the posts, WIN! For NDSU Then the camera showed Beau throw his headset on the ground.
