Comin' Along...

The August issue of SI is coming along nicely. Due to some technical difficulties, we have not yet been able to publish this month's "Saluki News," but I promise we'll make it up to you. We've got a great feature on longtime Saluki Baseball skipper Dan Callahan, a unique inside look at SIU's summer conditioning program with Jared Nessland, and Riley Swinford's "Catching Up With..." Braden Jones. We will also be sharing a heart wrenching tale of SIU athletic training student Crystal Fuehne, who has been in a month-long battle for her life following a horrific motor vehicle accident that took the lives of three of her friends and a passenger in another vehicle as well. We have created a donation page and set up an account for Crystal here. Please give today. 100% of all contributions go to Crystal's family to offset her staggering medical bills.

Hangin' Tough

Hey Err'body! We are tired and buried in magazines, but that won't keep us down! The first issue is officially "IN THE HOUSE." Now it just needs to be IN YOUR HOUSE instead of mine! Mail outs start tomorrow. We think you are going to love it!

We're also on TV! The good folks at WSIL filmed Jim and I today talking about the magazine. Thanks WSIL!

Saluki Illustrated Store Updated

Hey Saluki Faithful! We just wrapped up the first issue of SI, so we got a long overdue chance to update the ol' company store. If you click the "STORE" navigation link on the left, you'll see plenty of options. Maybe you don't want to subscribe to the magazine, but you'd like to check out our first issue. For just five bucks, you can. Or maybe you love Tom Weber's eye popping cover image so much that you want it on your wall. Never fear...you can purchase a poster on high quality photo paper for $29.95. You can even buy centerfold posters with our "Saluki Virtues" Theme. This month, the Saluki Softball team is depicted in Kyle Herm's shot. We aren't resting too long...the August issue will be here before you know it! Back to work for us...be well!
