If Valpo loses the next two games the final solution to our problem should be:DROP FOOTBALL! :'(

The money grab is too much for Valpo to ever drop football, so let's just hope they wake up and smell the coffee. If Valpo can't win the next two games...well, you'll see how interested VU is about a competitive football team.

One of my kids is a Witt grad (class of '83) so there is much family interest in the game. GO TIGERS! :thumbsup:
Oh, maybe I need to cheer on the other Lutheran U against Butler.

49-24 Butler over Wittenberg


I don't think Valpo will have much success against Butler in football this year.

So now what? Valpo was blasted by a FCS scholarship team and then lost to two middling D2 teams. While I don't think firing the coach in the middle of the season is a wise financial decision, I do wonder how you retain a coach who wins only 6% of the time. Decisions will have to be made at the end of the year. I think you'll see how committed Valpo is to winning football.
