Western Illinois and Rain

[hockeyplayer]

It will rain 4 or 5 days between now and kickoff 6pm Saturday night in Macomb. Western Illinois will have a hard time practicing this week. The grass on the field may not be cut. Chance of rain during the game... Muddy, poor footing, slow field.
The Bison have played all games so far this season on turf ... and inside.

What effect do you think the weather and field conditions will have on the game at Macomb ..... a place and team that already gives the Bison fits. ??

Better question is how will the conditions effect WIU if they cant practice? the other question is why dont you think they will find a place to practice?.

Kind of like playing in bookings before their turf. field with a rise that they watered for a week.

[BisonLaw]

WIU has turf. The rain is a non factor.

[ndsubison1]

What about the wind?

[bisonaudit]

Isn’t there like only 1 grass turf field in the league?

[Professor Chaos]

I believe it's none now. SDSU was the last to go to turf IIRC.

[Bison 4 Life]

I'm more concerned with it being a night game. It's really dark at that place.

[Honeybooboo]

Lol...western has turf, so if it grows thats pretty cool

The tailgate lot is paved so we’re good

Small North Dakota high schools have better lighting than that place does, and more fans too.

I believe this is standard issue for night games in Macomb.

I am debating making this trip, but the bulldog would probably need to come with (which makes everything more challenging). Does anyone know anything about the Macomb Inn? I see they take dogs.

We? As in you're making the trip?

[BisonNation11]

Did you even check a weather report before starting this thread? Everything I've checked says rain Tuesday into Wednesday morning. Then nothing until Saturday night. Low winds. Highs around 50. I swear people just create drama to have drama in their life. And let's say it is raining Saturday. Well guess what? Fargo turned into Seattle suddenly and we have the exact same weather going on right now with 4 outdoor fields the team can practice on. Rain and cold weather has been the norm for over a week now. Sorry for the rant.

[Vet70]

Unless I am totally wrong WIU will play in the same conditions.

I got a rainsuit before the ISUr game last year. At least it won't start snowing during this one.

[HerdBot]

Our coaching staff that has won 3 out of the last 4 national championships knows what they are doing. Besides they play on turf and we practice on turf outside. And it's been raining all week here too. We didn't have a problem playing in the snow and rain at Illinois State last year. Not sure why rain is such a big deal. Both teams have to deal with it.

Mo State is the only one I remember with a ticket that cheap.

[SDbison]

Regardless of conditions the Bison need to take care of the ball. If I remember correctly the leathernecks go out of their way to try and strip or punch the ball out at first contact and throughout a tackle. They focus on this so much that if a team takes care of the ball several more yards can be gained on each play.

I wouldn't say we didn't have any problem with the weather at Illinois St. last year. We scored to break up a scoreless game midway through the 3rd qtr and had 15 yards passing the entire game. But, the weather never effected the outcome as we handled it as good or better than the Redbirds. If I remember right there were no passing yards for either team at halftime.

For those coming to Macomb, who is in the market for a new cooler? I got one of these at the Marshall's in Columbus where they were just randomly on the shelf. I tried to call them to see if they still had the other two but the kid on the phone was an idiot and didn't know what I was talking about. IF they are still there, they would be around $30. Big IF. I will go there and see for myself tomorrow. Anyone want me to get one for them? They are the wheeled ones with the handle.

Might be there, might not. Will know tomorrow.

[Bison 4 Life]

I should say, there were only two on the shelf last one and someone has already PM'd me for one. I really wish that kid wasn't so stupid so I could figure out how many there were before I went there. Means one more. I might buy them both anyway if they have them and see who wants the last one afterwards if I don't hear back.

The funniest part is you can actually see the Ohio State campus from the front window of that store and the only coolers they had in there were 3 NDSU and the red ones were Wisconsin. Marshalls is full of random crap.

Pretty sure they have those NDSU coolers at Costco in Fargo if someone wants to snag one from there or have someone snag one for them from there. They may not be in stock all the time but I've seen them there several times.

Be interesting to see what WIU's defense does to take the middle of the field away. Shepherd has had back-to-back big games against SDSU and UNI across the middle. Should open some shot plays down the sideline. This our breakout game from Watson? Dallas Freeman could have another big game.

It's not terribly big. If memory serves, the parking lot is just north of the field. Big square thing, they have people directing traffic. We were on the southeast side last time. You won't miss all the yellow.

When does tailgating start? I'm not getting going until tomorrow morning but don't want to get there too early.

[blackdiamond2]

Tailgate lots will be available on game days, and official tailgating activities will begin five (5) hours prior to kickoff...according to this website.

http://www.wiu.edu/vpas/administrative_procedures_handbook/tailgate.php

[roadwarrior]

The parking lot is north of the stadium. It is plenty large enough for everybody that will be there. They dont really ever close the lots, so tailgating starts when people show up.

There was snow in the air near Macomb, mid 30s.

Among the things I’ll be watching today:

- Western Illinois D gives up about 32 points per game

- Western Illinois OLine has four 1st year starters - 1 Soph and 3 RFr

- Western Illinois has scored 1st in all 5 of their games.
NDSU has had slow starts lately......

- Where’s McShane??? - SR RB Steve McShane is the ‘Necks leading rusher And receiver - 44 carries for 274 yards (6.2 ypc) with 2 TD’s - 26 receptions for 195 yards and 4 TD’s

- And of course SR QB Sean McGuire (6’ 3” 228) - Kolpack had an article about the Bison facing experienced QB’s, including McGuire being a 3rd year starter. He is now Western Illinois’ All-Time leader in yards passing and in TD passes.

DE Shabar Wilson - 6’ 0” 295 - Soph
NT Khalen Saunders - 6’ 2” 310 - SR - Preseason All-MVFC 1st Team

Saunders (#99) is a player. He'll be playing on Sundays next year. Watching him and Tanner Volson go at it will be a battle.
