I picked up a t-shirt at Scheels today that has NDSU Bison Football - Gateway Football Conference on it. It has all nine helmets from the member schools in their colors in the center of the shirt.

I love to go to Scheels! My wife and kids ride the Wheel and I buy all the NDSU crap I can find! ;)

I don't know if I would classify the stuff as "crap" but Scheels is going out of their way to help support Bison sports.:nod:

3 of our future Gateway members have games against FBS opponents this weekend. Keep an eye out for the games and cheer for them. The wins would not only boost our future conference rankings but shed positive light on the whole FCS division, just like the App St. game did last week.

Northern Iowa at Iowa State (Big 12) - 6pm
Southern Illinois at Northern Illinois (MAC) - 630pm
Western Illinois at Illinois (Big 10) - 6pm

Northern Illinois is in the same conference as Ball State and Bowling Green.

Western Illinois took SDSU into 4 overtimes for the win this past weekend, hopefully they have another one in the bag for when they visit Champaigne to play Illinois for the first time in school history. Here is a some background for this game.... http://fightingillini.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/090407aab.html

Is "Juice" going to be suited up for Illinois this weekend. I know he missed most of the Missou game. If not, Western Illinois may be able to hang with them.

Way to go Gateway+++

Yeah, 2-1 against bowl teams is not bad at all - too bad the Western Illinois couldn't mount any offense to complement their defense.
