From a Redbird fan on their forum:
"SEMO has 6'7", 6'5" & 5'11" stud receivers all have 60 plus receptions even their 2nd tier receivers are 20 reception all WR are in double digits. That's depth and they rotate their WR's and utilize all of them. RB are committee of 5 all have average of 260 +/- 20yds for the season. Hopefully our LB/DL can get some pressure on QB to help our DB's on coverage still not sold 100 on defensive coverage on a good passing team."
In my opinion, and having watched a little of both, Illinois State will be the favorite, even as the visiting team. They have always been a solid team and play in a much tougher league than SEMO.
I have a friend in our church choir who is an Illinois State grad and we talk FCS (Valley and Big Sky) football.
Athletics: "December 7th will feature a unique opportunity for fans. Due to the timing of the football game, tipoff for the Men's Basketball game against UC Santa Barbara has been moved from 2pm to 5pm that day.
"We're offering fans an opportunity to go to both games for the price of one! Any fans coming from football that show their playoff ticket at the box office of the University Credit Union Center will receive a FREE general admission ticket to the UCSB game immediately following football!"
Is there a plan to hand out tickets to students? I just bought four tickets for me and my cousin's son. Not sure who the other two tickets will go to, but we'll figure it out.
Hmm, I didn't see that option. Maybe that's an option for Team Aggie members or season ticket holders? I'd gladly buy student tickets if there is a way to still pick up the tab for some kids.
I just checked the ticket sales for the game and it's confusing. We are Team Aggie members and season ticket holders but it seems like you can only select a ticket price and then you are assigned seats. We are usually able to select where we want to sit but the site isn't given us that option. Has anybody else been able to select where you want to sit?
I just went ahead and bought the seats that were automatically selected for us. We'll be in section 121 Row N.
We're season tickets holders to mens basketball also so we're really happy that they moved the start time for game against Santa Barbara. I've never been to a football - basketball double header! Great idea by the Athletics Department. Now they just need to advertise the hell out of this double header!
I clicked the three bars on top left which showed ‘season renewal’. That is the link to your season ticket option and parking. That’s what the email described. Seemed easier by phone than computer
Just what Mike said. The confusing part is that they give you multiple ticket options. Maybe thats for extra tickets. I clicked the option at the top and it automatically added my regular seats. At the bottom is the option to buy student tickets.
No, Mike, I missed seeing that email and just bought the tickets on the Buy Tickets tab. I thought the Season Renewal tab was for season tickets. I just read the email and it's as you say. You can get your original season ticket seats and there's also an option to buy the $5 tickets for the students. I'll call the ticket office tomorrow and see if I can straighten it out but I may be stuck with the tickets I just bought and not sure if I'll be able to get our parking pass unless the one we have for the regular season will be good for the playoffs.
