I've been praying deligently that our Spiders could get this far in the playoffs again.

What a great addition to the Patriot League. I hope we can keep up.

This game with Illinois State being involved brings back some great memories from 2015 when I traveled to Normal, Illinois with some family and friends to see the Kyle Lauletta led Spiders upset the Redbirds who were seeded #2 in the FCS playoffs and end their 19 game home winning streak. What great times and memories those playoff trips generated. Now if we could just get back to those days when December included Spider Football to go with the holiday cheer!

Can we hire the Rev Father to advertise each of our home games?

Was there as well. Illinois State coach said Lauletta was "dropping them in a mailbox."

Agree! One of the great nights in the Spiders FCS history...going in as underdogs...I believe it was Jacobi Green, who had torched JMU for 5TDs in the biggest day in the history James Madison University (ESPN Game Day)...proceeded to go on another rampage vs. the Red Birds.

I wonder if Huesman gives inspirational talks like Ferrante?

I'll bet the pope knows about the game today.

Go Spiders!

The 2015 team was terrific on both sides of the ball.Kyle’s uncanny accuracy really shown his QB abilities.We were loaded at WR and at RB.Our OL and DL were among the best and toughest.NDSU was appreciative and surprised of our beating the Red Birds.An unforgettable game.

Things looking grim for 'Nova, down 27–6 heading to the fourth.

 

[PittFieldDreams]

Illinois State dominating on both sides of the ball. Nova does not look like the same team that had 2 playoff road wins.

 

[RichmondNative]

The Cinderella team will move on. Montana St looks awfully good though.

V had their buttocks presented to them. Totally outclassed.

Red Birds were bigger,stronger,quicker than the Philly V’s.They were favored for a reason,surprisingly so.
