A friend who is a long time follower of Ohio football thinks that those who participate on Bobcat Attack significantly over-estimate the team's quality and coaching.

The friend proposes this bet to anyone interested: $100 that Solich as head coach at Ohio will have a season (usually 14 games) in which he goes 18-0 (not a typo) before he'll win a MAC title.

The friend pledges to donate any winnings on this bet to Ohio University.

Also, is it even possible to play 18 games in a single season? Assuming a 12 game regular season, winning the MACC is 13 games. The winning 2 games in the BCS Play-offs for the National Championship totals 15 games. I don't know where the other 3 games would come from.

Ha! Tell Monroe hello from me.

Tell Monroe we miss him.

Tip off on Monroe would have been if half of winnings went to school of accountancy, the other half for a swanky pet carry-all.

What about the other half of the winnings?

Help a newbie: who is Monroe?

Monroe was a long-time poster that was exiled from the site a year or so ago. The fact that he is proposing a bet that “Hell will freeze over” before Ohio wins an MACC gives you an insight into his approach. Additionally, the fact that he had well over 10,000 posts over the previous few years alone, provides you an inkling of how suffocating and exhausting his rhetoric was. He even acknowledged in posts and private messages that his intent was to post and post and post and post until others came around to his views (i.e., use this site to beat people into submission). Appreciating this site is for the exchange of ideas and views about Ohio sports, and to celebrate the teams and athletes involved, but to not provided an individual platform that becomes dominant to the greater whole, the decision was made to ban him. Through emails and PMs he has reached out to myself and others including LC, who initiated this thread.

Best advice – move on from Monroe, 3-Ball, etc.

isn't he suggesting this:

$1000,

if ohio goes 18-0 in a season, you pay him $1000

if ohio wins MAC title, he pays you $1000.

where do i sign up?

people may or may not overvalue ohio and solich, but i think they are a legit contender in the MAC race many years.

Your friend is spot-on right.
