Who called for a parade? I called you out for your rediculous comment. Period. God you’re a baby.

Well said Bobcat Debate 73. I also noted what I thought was a key take away in this game from week one. Where was Maxwell? I kept waiting. I assume he was there. After the first three series and continued miss throws by Rourke, I thought for sure the coaches would give him a shot. But NO. All though Rourke did finally find some receives, he still missed badly on throws. I’m beginning to wonder, has the program, coaches, and school invested so much publicity and money in Rourke its more important to stay true to the man, than to try something different and see if it sparks your team. Week one, the change at QB sure seems to have worked. What was different about this week. Was the embarrassment of losing to an FCS team week one to great of risk; but losing to a P5 school is acceptable and to be expected, so that is OK?? I know many on BA hope that is not the mentality. I guarantee that those players on the team don’t see it that way. The way Maxwell is carrying himself and talked publicly leading up to the game; he is a better man than I. I know one thing for sure if I was Maxwell, I’d be aggravated to put it politely. Based on the press clipping material and coach’s interviews, the two weeks leading up to the game, it seems as if he was told and the coaches put it out publicly that he was going to play and didn’t! If I’m Maxwell I would wonder about the integrity and character of some on this coaching staff. Hopefully the TEAM, and Coaches get this figured out before this season goes down as a disappointment. There is still a lot left!

"Inconsistency" has always seemed to be a trademark of Ohio athletics, and that certainly seemed to be on display again on Saturday. What does it take for Ohio to be more consistent? Granted, the latest research shows that the frontal lobe of young men does not develop completely until as late as their mid-twenties, but how is it that other programs, whether they win or lose, appear to put on more consistent performances?

Likewise, what does it take to recruit a solid and consistent quarterback? Why has Ohio been some historically weak when it comes to this particular position? It seems like Rourke should be playing Rugby and not American football. How difficult is it to find someone with a decent arm? Is it really that much of rare commodity? Ohio has had some decent receivers over the years, and it is a shame that this program has yet to find a more balanced and consistent attack.

As for the front lines on both sides of the ball, I think they will gradually progress and get batter. As for the secondary, it would be helpful if they had a strong quarterback to practice against.

I wonder too if Ohio is guilty of believing all the preseason hype surrounding them. Perhaps, a couple more humiliating games is what they need to motivate them enough to step up their game in time for league play?
