The Sports Network did a story on the best highlights of each week in the season.

Take a look at week 13. Pretty good choice, but how about these as well...
- Western knocks Northern Iowa out of a first round bye (and eventually losing at home to Lehigh) while qualifying for the playoffs following the regular season finale win. That also capped off an undefeated home record.
- Matt Barr throwing for a program record 6 touchdowns and rushing for another in demolishing Illinois State.
- Kyle Glazier recorded a FCS high 25 tackles at Missouri State.
- Lito Senatus and Terriun Crump twice in the year each accounted for 100 receiving yards in a game.
- Defeating Valparaiso to end the 10-game losing streak.
- Barr to Senatus in the final minutes to eventually defeat Youngstown State.

Anyway, those are just some of my highlights. Email me your thoughts.

I just have to say, leaving at 7 am then arriving in Cedar City, Utah, about 12:30 am central makes for a long day of travel. The guys had a good workout at UNLV in preparation for the game at the Thunderbirds on Thursday night.

You gotta feel for the men's team. This trip Western brought the nine remaining healthy players. Nine guys, and two are limited as well. One thing is for certain, this team is fighting hard.
