From SIU to the NFL

Former Saluki and current New York Giant Brandon Jacobs hasn't forgotten his roots.

Jacobs spoke very highly of SIU during his return trip to the area to sign autographs and speak for the FCA Banquet.

Salukis to open at Marshall

The 2009 Saluki football season will open on September 5th at Marshall. Game time for the game in Huntington, West Virgina is still not set. At right, you will notice a countdown to September 5th. The gametime will be posted as soon as it's available. The game is the annual game vs. a Bowl Subdivision team. Last year, the Salukis lost at Northwestern. However, the Salukis have won in years past - beating Indiana and Northern Illinois.
