Curious how many of us will be in attendance? Will it be a record low?

My expectations are so low that I am practically numb. Adding alcohol to numbness typically hasn't worked well in the past but just in case I'll go stock up.

CRUSADERS!!!

I'd probably take Ind St and give the points

may know

Anyone who did go down got delayed 1-2 hours by the runaway I-55 shooter.

Case in point we're still on the road.

0-6 from 3 to start the game. Please stop shooting the 3. Please.
I believe that we will win.

Well the boys came to play. Golder and Freeman are making statements. Let's see if we can hold on...

Just turned it on. I'm afraid to watch but trying to be cautiously optimistic.  Maybe this team just needed to get away for awhile to a neutral site. Go Valpo!

Little ugly in the middle of that half, but a nice finish for a change. Keep it up!

It's nice to see Golfer looking a little more like himself out there. His energy is a definite positive for the team. Good defending. Ugh on the 3 shooting

It's amazing what the difference a little bit of confidence looks like on this team. Better passing, sharper movements, increased aggression. Now we just need the other C to stick around: Consistency.

We seem to have a pessimistic bunch in here...

Hope the boys can keep the foot on the gas! ISU looks demoralized.

Really enjoy Todd Ickow's call, but Dave Hussman is a little too catch phrase excitable. 

Curious, what's his connection to Valparaiso other than calling games?

Dave is fine. He knows his role and has good chemistry with Todd. The biggest gripe with the radio broadcast is the horrible audio quality. I always have to turn the volume up to the max because it's so soft. When Todd yells, the mic can't really handle it, and you get lots of crackling. Listening in the car is a miserable experience.

Also, Valpo up 14... Are we all expecting it to evaporate? Or is this team dominating?

That can happen when the team was 2-8 in their last ten games.  I think many of us are wondering when the air gets let out of our tires. 

Traveling so I'm listening to the radio call.....is this good defense or pitiful ISU offense?

crusader05

Good defense. Lots of steals, very few uncontested shots

That a real issue, forget about using headphones like Air Pods while trying to listen to the radio call.  It's noise cancelling headphones or nothing at all.

Any chance we get a "go fund me" type fundraiser for better radio equipment?  I know zilch about this topic, can anyone chime in on the feasibility of such a thing?

FieldGoodie05

Gotta imagine our verbal commit Clay is at this game.  Think he's from Alton IL across the river. Anyone see him by chance?

Valpo by 22, just like we all thought.

VALPO LI

History made folks!!! For those who chose not to watch Valpo won its first MVC tournament game! :thumbsup:
And they won by 22!!!
Shine on Vu

Well, well nice to see us come out and give Indiana State an old fashioned whooping. I've been critical of this team but I'll give them props when they deserve it. Nice win.
I believe that we will win.
