I think the atmosphere at McLeod for the WSU match-up is going to be intense this year, and it has been for at least some of the previous matchups. A very limited number of standing room only tickets are going to be sold tomorrow for more than the price of a seatback (sold out for quite a while now). We've had issues with attendance in the past, but when that place is full, it's loud and the fans are right on top of the floor.

On a side note, It's sad to see SIU's home record. It doesn't seem like not too long ago they had the longest or second longest home winning streak. Something like 34 games straight. But that ended on Lowery's watch something in the mid 2000's.

Don't know why so many people jumped on this guy about asking a simple question.

For us I think there are a few that could be in consideration for 2nd toughest MVC game. Obviously, at home against WSU will be a tough game. I would say at either of the ISUs will be very difficult for us this year. We struggle in the state of Indiana and ISUr has a ton of talent and I think matches up against us pretty well. Obviously, at Evansville was a very tough match up for us.

If you made me pick one I would go with at ISUb.

Might be for the Shox game (people have bought tickets in advance) but the others won't be this year.

MSU gets me nervous because of the baldknobbers atmosphere. Upsets are ripe.

UNI is 40-32 the last 4 full seasons in conference. I think it's more than Indiana.

I don't think anyone "jumped on him". More than likely just the average thin skinned Valley of even fan.

Clearly the 2nd toughest game is hosting WSU over the last 4-5 years.

I didn't feel "jumped on." I should have been more clear. My friend (a BU fan) and I were discussing this topic, and I wanted opinions from other Valley fans.
