Founded in 1919 in Carbondale, the Southern Illinois Salukis play a brand of Missouri Valley Football Conference grit that has produced lasting highlights. SIU captured the 1983 NCAA Division I-AA national championship and added multiple conference crowns, including a dominant mid-2000s run that put the program back on the national radar. Each fall, the annual War for the Wheel against Southeast Missouri State delivers bragging rights and early-season electricity.
Home Saturdays center on Saluki Stadium, a modern venue opened in 2010 with intimate sightlines and room for roughly 15,000. The Dawg Pound student section sets the tone, while Saluki Walk and tailgating along Saluki Row turn game day into an all-campus gathering. Alumni standouts such as Brandon Jacobs and Jeremy Chinn keep the NFL pipeline in view, and the maroon-and-white crowd makes every third down feel bigger.
