No offense taken, Necksfansince71. I think we all just want to see WESTERN succeed!
Did you retire this year? In any event, have a pleasant summer.

Yeah right Neck's 71. I can now clearly see what a dominant power Western is in sports.
Baseball ever been to NCAA tourney? (I don't think so)
Basketball never been to NCAA tourney
Football not been to post season since 2003.
I don't celebrate golf. Good for the kids that get to go to school free to play it, but I am not welling up with pride and think all is wonderful in Leatherneck land.

Leatherface,
Have a year to go before I retire! Planning on helping WIU in some way after that!
101 - Some people refuse to celebrate birthdays after 40 but they still have them! Any sport that WIU sponsors means money drawn in that direction, which means funds and scholarships are then spread thinner. The fact that WIU is so competitive in all of them is an accomplishment in itself. Stevenson, the track coach does a whole lot with not enough! Women have good money, men less and yet he still develops good track and field athletes.
Basketball, well, WIU has had trouble either getting it going or keeping it going! And football, well I think the Necks have been very competitive even though they have been not back to the playoffs for awhile. Still think the team that lost to Colgate in the snow was our best bet for a National Title. But we are headed back in that direction!
Guess I am guilty of seeing the glass half full, as always!!!
