Founded in 1919 in Carbondale, the Southern Illinois Salukis have made their mark in FCS football. The program’s pinnacle came in 1983, when coach Rey Dempsey led SIU to the NCAA Division I-AA national title. Conference success followed, with Missouri Valley Football Conference and Gateway championships in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009, fueling deep postseason runs under Jerry Kill and Dale Lennon.
Saluki standouts include Brandon Jacobs and Bart Scott, both NFL mainstays. Each fall, the War for the Wheel against Southeast Missouri State delivers a heated regional matchup. Saluki Stadium brings it all together: a lively Dawg Pound student section, the pregame Saluki Walk through tailgates on Saluki Row and a marching band that keeps the tempo up. It is a welcoming, high-energy Carbondale experience for every fan.
