Less than 48 hours away from kickoff. Last line I saw was NDSU -6.

ISU will be wearing #65 decals on their helmets to honor Jake Rodgers of EWU.

quote:

With just a minute left in Illinois State’s quarterfinal game against host Eastern Washington, a fan in the stands had a medical emergency. The game stopped, and medical staff rushed to help him.

That man was John Rodgers, father of Eastern Washington offensive lineman Jake Rodgers. Suffering apparent heart problems, John was taken to the hospital. He died December 27.

His death shook the Eastern Washington family—and it stayed with the Redbirds. On Saturday, when Illinois State faces North Dakota State in the FCS title game, every Redbird will have a “65” sticker on their helmet, in honor of John Rodgers. No. 65 is Jake’s number on the Eagles.

Couldn't be more proud as an ISU alum.

Thanks for the information on that class move by your team, and condolences to the young man and the rest of his family out at EWU.

Best wishes on Saturday.

My first thought:

"65 stickers per helmet, all for one guy??"

Gameday indeed.

Should be a good matchup. I hadn't heard about the incident @ EWU. Terrible news. Much respect to ISU for the class move. Good luck today.

If you can't go to school go to state.

But no seriously a class move. Good luck to the red birds today.

Today is the first day above 0 since about Monday in Chicago. Both fan bases should be welcoming to that heat wave.

I am going to be interested in seeing NDSU play keep away from ILS

I think with the WR being hurt the Redbirds will go to 7/8 in box and dare NDSU to throw, which is a mistake. NDSU QB is NFL type talent and size.

Damn. Beast mode run by Wentz and then fumbles. Big stop for the Redbirds.

NDSU looks terrible but they're not letting ILS capitalize

ISU was a year early. Go down fighting and I'm proud.
