about the player defections and issues reported today.....The local newspaper in today's edition here in Normal was touting the recent transfers to ISU's football program from Pitt.  Two guys, both signed out of Florida by Wanny have transferred to Illinois State.  The two guys hadn't played much and are not going to be missed much at Pitt, but are heralded as good snags here at I-AA land.  Get the picture?  This stuff happens everywhere.  It is part of college football.

We played ISU back in the day...

Oct. 16, 1999

South Florida was 0-6 against ranked teams when number six Illinois State came to Tampa. The Redbirds defense blitzed Marquel Blackwell (14 of 24 for 128 yards with an INT) all night and got to the Bulls quarterback six times. It was the worst offense effort in USF history. Team record lows were set with 150 total yards and 22 yards rushing. Even still, Blackwell connected with Rj Anderson twice on scoring passes, an Illinois State extra point was blocked and USF held a 14-13 lead with just six ticks left on the clock. The visitors lined up for the winning field, a 24 yard attempt by Jake Strader, but the kick was wide left. South Florida players and coaches stormed the field. There was still time on the clock, so the penalty flags flew for excessive celebration. Jim Leavitt joked, "The penalty flag was on me. I was running all over the field." During the week, the Bulls found themselves ranked number seventeen and quarterback Glen Gauntt quit the team.

Glory Days !

Chitown, apparently you don't remember the Georgia Southern game too well because it was played at the Old Tampa Stadium and not RayJay..........it was a good game other than the final score.

ChiTown, shame on you.  "Some stud rb" is none other than Chicago Bears running back Adrian Peterson.  Can't believe that you would whiff on a Bears player.   ;D
