Apathy: Where do we (UNI fans) go from here?
TweetIt’s been a while since I’ve written anything for The Wedge. Part of that is due to how busy I’ve been with work. Part of it is the amount of work I’m putting towards grad school – somehow more than I thought it would be. Maybe just as much as the other two is, to …

MVFC: Week 7 Preview
TweetNow that we’re a few games into the conference season, I thought it might be useful to start listing the conference standings for each team so that we can see where everyone is at a bit more easily. So, most teams have played 2 conference games, the ISU’s have played 3, and here’s how the …

MVFC: Week 5 Preview
Tweet(in my best John Facenda voice…that’s the NFL Films guy) Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Missouri Valley Football Conference, where every Saturday is a battle.

MVFC: Week 4 Review
TweetMaybe it’s just me, but this seemed like a weird weekend in the MVFC. There were 2 ½ games played this weekend, with two potentially considered “upsets” (depending on your own personal ranking system). Also, just for clarification, since only 4 of the 10 teams in the conference were in action this week, it was …
