Street clothes tonight -- Wear Black!

For the game tonight, we will NOT be wearing uniforms due to the muddy conditions on the field. Instead we will be wearing street clothes, so wear clothing that will keep you warm for the duration of the football game.

In keeping with the "black out" theme for tonight's game, wear as much black as possible!! Let's black out the field when we perform.

Call time is still 6:00 pm.

Friday Playoff Game

Our first playoff game vs Edwardsville will be at home, this FRIDAY night at 7 pm.

Call time is 6:00 pm. We will be wearing full uniform and performing our halftime show just as we do at regular season games. Attendance is mandatory!

The crowd is planning a "black-out" event and wearing all black to intimidate the other team. This will be a fun environment to perform in, so let's get excited and cheer our Indian football team on to the next round of playoff competition!
