    Western Illinois' stadium is named for Ray "Rock" Hanson, a veteran that served in both World Wars under the Marine Corps. He coached the WIU program from 1926 to 1941 and gained permission from the Corps to use the leatherneck nickname for the team.

    Saluki Stadium in Carbondale really is great for the size of the conference. Carbondale is a award winning “Tree City”, whatever that means, so I’m glad you touched on it. There’s a great view inside of part of campus and the iconic “Towers”, and some real Saluki dogs are always on the grassy hill for kids to come pet and take pictures with. Thanks for covering!

    "leatherneck" is a nickname for the U.S Marines. they got that nickname because back in the old times they used to have big leather collars on their combat uniforms. the reason our logo is a bulldog, is because they've also been nicknamed "devil dogs" by their enemies. Colonel Hanson had to ask the US Navy for permission to use the name as he had served in the Marine Corps before landing at WIU. We are the only non military school to use a military nickname

Plus, small town America has been so much better to me.

    Western Illinois University’s mascot, “Leatherneck”, comes from a slang term for members of the United States Marine Corps (and, less often, members of the British Royal Marines). Marines were called Leathernecks due to the leather stock around their neck on their uniforms.

    Indiana State has been discussing a new stadium since I was there in the early 2000’s.
    The current one is pretty bad, and while the site is historic (I appreciate preserving historic stadiums), there’s nearly nothing left of the beautiful baseball park it used to be.
    They released renderings of a new on campus 8k seat facility a couple years ago. Not sure of the current timeline.
    Also, I’ve always disliked the idea of off campus stadiums. I attended a d2 that was like that, as did my wife (hers was about 10 miles from the school!). It’s hard to build a game day atmosphere.

    I played in this Conference, though at the time, it was called the MVC for basketball and was known as The Gateway for football. Youngstown was more of a power back then, but Northern Iowa had guys like Kurt Warner. Back then tons of FBS guys, old DIV 1A, would transfer to FCS schools to avoid losing a year of eligibility. Our QB lost his starting job at Indiana for Antwaan Randel El, one of our RB was from Michigan, we had 2 DB's transfer in from Wisconsin that were wrapped up some kinda deal that got the kicked out of school but had started significant Big10 games. Western Illinois had some stone cold killers on their squad, shout out to Edgerton Hartwell, prev of the ATL Falcons......

    I believe Normal, Illinois, got its name because the university there was originally a "normal school," i.e., a teacher-training institute. Teacher-training schools got their "normal" name because there was an effort to make sure that teachers were qualified to teach by achieving certain standards, or norms.

    You may want to re-check your figures on the Alerus Center in comparison to the Fargo Dome. Your capacity listed for Alerus Center was 21,000. The Alerus Center actually holds around 10,000. The Fargo Dome holds 18,000-plus as you listed. Not taking sides (ND-State vs UND), just trying to get it right. I'd suspect the Alerus Center could hold 21,000 for concerts or some kind of entertainment, but for football, the listed capacity is around 10,000.

    Indiana State Memorial stsdium used yo have a small nine hole par three course around the stadium. That is why it looks like it is situated in a park.

    I've been to Sprinfield, MO (MSU) and Carbondale, IL. I loved SIU, but the school is in (their own words) a "fiscal emergency." They have doubled tuition, Moody's has downgraded their bonds to "junk," and they can barely keep the lights on. That's sad - pretty campus in a cute little town.

    When you do the FCS Pioneer Football League, be sure to mention that St. Thomas is new to the league this year, having been kicked all the way to FCS from Division III for being too good. Also, you should pronounce O'Shaughnessy, O-Shag-Hennesey like on "Key and Peele," and mention that the running track is purple/

    How many MVC schools are in the valley (such as it is) of the Missouri River, even if not in the state of Missouri?

    Do the OUA (Ontario University Athletics Association) next

    Missouri State covering the whole field area with artificial turf is a good idea; if a player’s momentum carries them off the turf, they could slip on a hard surface and get injured. The St. Louis Rams had a pay a visiting player $12.5 million when he slipped on the concrete floor and suffered a season-ending injury.

      The state of Missouri is technically in a valley since the states surrounding it are literally on higher ground. Thats why its called the "Missouri Valley" Confrence

      ​@@joked87isback It's named after the Missouri River. The Ohio Valley Conference is named after their river too.
