Replying to your post simply because I want to live in Atascadero upon graduating. SLO is one of the nicest places I've ever been.

However, Frank is 73. Not sure how many more "next years" he has in the tank

Let's put this game into perspective. This was an expectations trap game for the Bobcats. MAC teams have been licking their chops for years to come to West Lafayette, for sometimes the Boilermakers are half decent with a star quarterback but not much else, but often a doormat ripe for the non Power 5 picking.

However, Coach Jeff Brohm is proving to be an under the radar hire as exhibited by last week and unfortunately this week's game. While everyone became fixated with Tom Herman superlatives in the off season, Coach Brohm was quietly preparing for the season with few football pundit expectations.

Whatever one thinks of our legendary Coach Solich, it would behoove all to realize that the chances of some young gun who will stay in Athens longer than P J Fleck stayed in Kalamazoo is pretty remote. Stranger things have happened, but even my idealistic spirit realizes that sadly there is a ceiling to our rise and the rise of just about any other MAC school.

It doesn't have to be a young gun so long as he can recruit and execute offense. Solich has a program which has averaged in the bottom 1/3rd offensively over 13 years.

Louisville has a Heisman trophy _winner_ at QB and only managed about 130 more yards vs. Purdue than Ohio did.

The offense was fine once they opened it up in the second half. The problems were turnovers and defense.
