2014 Non-Conference Schedule Announced
We're still over three months away from the start of the 2013 season but we already know who the Illini will be playing in the non-conference portion of their 2014 season.
WKU has... chrome... helmets?
Sweet helmets, Bobby Petrino?

Petrino Always Wins
Last December, Bobby Petrino was hired to be Western Kentucky's new head football coach after being let go from the same position at Arkansas after news of his lying over inappropriate behavior...
Scouting Report: Quanterus Smith - OLB, Western Ky
Players coming off of an injury always have some value. Would the Colts be willing to draft another guy knowing he'd be out all of 2013? Quanterus Smith might just be worth it.
Petrino hires former UAB coach, SB Nation reports
The former Blazers head coach will replace the departed Mike Summers, who joined Southern Cal's staff last week.
Quanterus Smith unlikely to workout before draft
Smith tore his ACL in November and still has at least three months of rehab to go.
Petrino's got weapons
When you hire Bobby Petrino, you better have a backup plan in place (and WKU has at least 10 months to figure that one out), but he can still be a tremendous success in the short-term.
Petrino Facility Comments Draw Ire. Should They?
Why would Bobby Petrino say some of Western Kentucky's football facilities are better than what he had at Arkansas? Because some of them are. Although that will soon change thanks to a $40 million investment.
Zero damns given
WKU interim coach Lance Guidry went unconventional in the final minute, and it didn't quite pay off. CMU, meanwhile, does not give a damn that they entered the postseason as a very lightly regarded bowl team.
Here's why CMU won the Pizza Bowl
The MAC is thankfully on the board with a victory in bowl season. Central Michigan held on to beat Western Kentucky 24-21. Here's why they won.

Chippewas record shocking win at Little Caesars Bowl.
