How is some of this crap being talked about before the season is even over??? Ohio could still win the MACC and a bowl people! Damn man, some of you need to get a grip. People are talking like the season ended last night and that Ohio finished 5-7 and the season is over with no bowl or MACC bid. If you want to bitch about failure or falling short, at least frickin' wait until it actually happens before you look foolish if it doesn't. It's that kind of attitude that makes it hard to stomach the thought of those same people glowing if Ohio were to win the MACC, as if they were behind the team and program the whole time, when in reality they were doing nothing but complaining and whining the entire time. No fan is owed a MAC Championship. Your team needs to win the division then win the MACC. It's earned, on the field. So for crying out loud, enjoy the opportunity to still get to play for one while it exists and stop moaning and complaining like it's over when it's not. You could likely see one team that hasn't won a MACC since 1968 playing another that hasn't won one since 1988. It would be a great scenario.
I think you are mistaking some of the comments. I, for one, am not saying the season is over. But it's frustrating to keep seeing Ohio lose games like Texas State, EMU & CMU... all games they could and should have won. (And had they won just one of either EMU or CMU, they're already MAC East champs)
We are in dogfight with f'n MIAMI for the division title. That's laughable.
Where Ohio is at as a program 12 years into this regime is barely above average. That's 60% as some have said. 7-5, 8-4... against the schedules they play isn't exciting. 4-4, 5-3 in the MAC five straight years isn't something that gets me pumped.
I still get season tickets and travel to a lot of road games to support them. But I'm also entitled to share my opinion of the program.
