OCF must be in the ear of Michael Reghi and his color commentator. They keep touting Brendan Cope as the great, all-MAC WR OCF has been predicting since Cope's freshman season.

Another November to forget. We started out with the two big wins against Miami and Toledo that made it look like we are on our way. Then complete disintegration . Sad.

Last two games the Bobcats are down to 29ppg. Winning the bowl game is looking like less of a lock where the off has trended the past couple of weeks.

Running back health has been an issue for the second straight year. IMHO the loss of Brown last week was the nail in the coffin for that loss. This week it was the loss of AJ so early.

I live in central Ohio so I get some sadistic satisfaction reading the letters to the sports editor of disgruntled tOSU fans. This board reads a lot like those letters and it isn’t as fun seeing it here.

The discourse has moved from discussion to statements of absoluteness while discounting others’ opinions. For me it has moved from BOBCAT attack to Bobcat ATTACK.

I'm tired of the injury excuse. Every MAC Program goes through it. My logic is this team should have beaten Buffalo back with no questions asked, instead it became what today is.

At some point, you gotta win the ones you should and potentially lose the 50/50 games. If you really thought Buffalo was a 50/50 game coming into the season/week then I'd have called you crazy.

Nonetheless, what excuse will you have after our bowl game?

The coaches recruited the entire team, and they prepared the team for the past two games. The secondary is atrocious. How can any sane person watch Ohio Football in November every year and not blame the coaches for the general lack of energy and corresponding, puzzling losses? OU lost two games that they were 10+ point favorites and another that they were favored by 7. They underachieved and nothing the guys drunk on green Kool-Aid says is going to change my mind. Losses like these are the identity of the Solich era every bit as much as the 7.5 wins every year.

This isn't rocket science; athletic teams, businesses, individuals etc have to assess what they do right and what the do wrong. Through the years, Bobcat football have had too many Novembers to forget rather than ones to remember. This one is on the players and coaches, no two ways about it. Every team gets banged up in November, some rise to the top while others falter. We know the teams and coaches who rise to the top and the ones that don't.

Love him or hate him, Nick Saban's Crimson Tide seem to get better and fight through injuries. He's the best Alabama coach since Bear Bryant and the pressure he faces seems to only make him and his teams better. On the flip side, look at our performances in the last few years. Now I am going to cut Mark Richt some slack since he's only been a couple of years at the helm at Miami. However, talk about all Hoopla and no follow through, all sizzle and no steak. When they are at home with their turnover chain, hip South Beach followers and glitterati on the sidelines, the Hurricanes seem unbeatable. Otherwise on the road, they can't put teams with losing records away and today it all caught up with them. This kind of thing would never happen to Nick Saban. To use another cliche, that's what separates the contenders from the pretenders.

+1

Stop it!

We lost to a far inferior team in Akron where Ohio was a 15 point favorite.

Lost to another inferior team in Buffalo where Ohio was favored by nearly a touchdown...and showed little signs of life out of the gate in that one.

I'm not screaming to Fire Frank ... but those aren't "good losses"

Those are indefensible losses when you had arguably the best team in years with a very real chance to win your first league title in nearly 50 years.

Don't try to sugarcoat it with the "Oh well, didn't think we'd be any good anyways" stuff.

Team ... and most notably ... this coaching staff is to held accountable. This falls in line with similar nonsense that has plagued this program for 13 years ... when does it change?
