Weekend wrap up-Football and Soccer

hello, this is Ariy-El Boynton and sorry for being away for so while, we're trying to get the best weekly paper we can, so without further delay, heres what happened in SDSU athletics this weekend:
The soccer team failed this weekend to win at Oakland. Too bad for the seniors on SDSU. The Farrell twins were at Frost Arena after the NDSU, win. I think it was the twin that scored(Kellyn) on NDSU. They were happy to get the win at NDSU and noted they had a lot of soccer left to play. Oakland beat them, 2-0.
The Jacks then went to Michigan State and tied the Spatans, 1-1. MSU has not lost at home all year, the Jacks were the only team to force the Spartans to less than a win at the old State Field.
With some time now in bewteen the Summit League championships at Western Illinois, one would wonder how much practice Lang W. gives his girls, or does he try to simulate real game situations?
On to football, the Jacks played a bad and I mean bad Indiana State squad. At the press game, most of the players from ISU had their heads up, well most of the time. Its tough when you know back in your mind, you'll never win a game this season? How do you go to practice and try your hardest every day?
A little tid bit, ISU's head coach Trent Mills, ex-boss at Wash. and Norte Dame was Tyrone Willingham. Bewteen the two of them, they have zero wins. Think they ever get on the phone with each other and just say "keep going" or "this is the week"! Prob. night, they both got familes to take over and one or both should be looking for a job next year.
The Jacks played good enough for a win, Duh! It wasn't a blowout in the first half, because ISU didnt turn the ball over. The Jacks are playing good football right now, despite losing two out of their last three. That defenese sure is good, the lb's and line are impressive.
Jimmy Rogers is the man. That No.3 he wears makes offenese not want to come to the line of scrimmage, sometimes. I expect a paper will do a feature on him... Check:

No one told me about Adam V., on the sidelines so I have no sorry about him, sorry about that.
Next up for the Jacks is Missouri State, its a winable game but the Jacks must have focus, I think they will.
By the way if you ever get a chance to come to Terre Haute, don't go. I would take my chances at Gary, Fort Wayne or Flint, Mich. Don't say I didn't warn you.
