44--good call.

Monroe. L.C. shared his experience sitting among the parents. Please share with us your experiences interacting with them.

You know, if the parents are happy, well, that's it for me.


And, at this holiday season, let me wish you a Happy Paul Blart!



Are you going to be getting the same gift that we've been given for the last 11 years?
Soo sorry the team has continued to disappoint you. That they disappoint and let you down is all on you. Your inflated sense of entitlement is, fortunately, shared by only a few here.

Great, great insight.

Mere math alone indicating that we should win a title once in 13 years in a 13 team league, then being disappointed that we haven't won a title in 11 years is truly, truly an unreasonable and inflated expectation.

Then, when you factor in that every year 4-7 of those MAC teams are quite lousy, surely it's too much to have won a title once in 11 years when your head coach is revered and deified by such as you.



cc--really insightful on your part, also. Why don't you just, once and for all, state that you really dislike me and have pre-determined that every one of my posts is the worst...and be done with it.

You are boring.
Every one of your posts? You only have one post.

..

Does that mean that Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern, Rutgers, and Maryland should all win the B1G every fourteen years or so? Should AMC have outsold Ford and GM every three years? Or, is it possible that there are structural differences that cause results to be non random, thus leading to the B1G to be dominated by OSU and Michigan, and to AMC trailing consistently?

My belief is that success breeds more success and failure breeds more failures. I believe that to turn a consistently bad team into a consistent winner takes time, perhaps many years. How many is required? I'm certainly open to considering alternative answers, but I think that zero is the wrong answer. Whatever you think of Solich, I think you'd agree that in his time, many pieces have been put in place to make Ohio a consistent winner in years ahead.

At this point I'm enjoying this season, and rooting for this to be the MAC year.

DFC--Good one!

L.C. Either you have no standards or you don't get it. It's the freaking MAC, so annually 4-7 horrible teams. Any decent coach--and you revere Solich by all appearances--should bring one down in 11 years. Unless the coach is mediocre.


First qtr tonight: Don't like Papi as a runner. Don't like running our qb so much due to injury possibiliities. Do like going for it on 4th and short at their 26, despite the turnover.

Turnovers likely to play a big role tonight (duh).

We have an opponent that is down. Fumble, offside could energize CMU

Need to get it together. Two turnovers to start is not the way to Detroit.

So, there we have it: Solich and staff have a free pass FOREVER.



Northwestern is calling you.

Most BA'ers still dont believe this is a trap game. I still think we win. But as I pointed out in a previous post, Bowling Green and CMU are thorns to Ohio. Hey both keep a really good QB and force turnovers (not so much for BG this year). I would like to see us run a few screens to spread CMU defensive. line out. Lets tire their big boys out running sideline to sideline.

Looks familiar, doesn't it? Not sharp passing. No healthy running back.

Maxwell looking like a freshman right now

I fully expect to win this game, but we've been hideous up to this point. I hope most people thought this was an 8pm start as I initially thought as the first hour has been embarrassing.

Players need to make plays. Nelson whiffs on a blitz, Papi lets a punt bounce past him and roll. Reid drops a pass. The good news is we are only down 3-0, but the players look awfully tight, especially on offense. We have to have a better blitzer than Nelson, he never makes the sack.

So, you're saying that since it's the MAC, the distribution of championships should be random. Does that jibe with reality? Yawn....

Now, go Bobcats.

Anyone still want to say we are a lock for the division?

We are showing NO signs that we want to win this game at all.

Unless we wake up, I expect the Akron game to become HUGE.

He was listed as questionable, per Arkley. With his broken arm, I'd expect him on defense rather than offense, if he plays.

Entire mis-read, O Acceptor of Mediocrity...annually 4-7 teams ain't in it. IF we're any good at all...and most years we don't stink...then we should win it once every 6-9 years.

Maxwell has got to settle down in the passing game. Is Wyndham able to go in case he can't?

No spark by us. Flat.

Note CMU three back set to get the TD. With qb under center.

Did the announcers say that their qb is a 5th year senior who is likely to have a long NFL career? It's only a small sample size to see the first half but he has a very, very, very average arm for a college qb and how many 5th year seniors make the pros these days? If a guy is good, he doesn't last 5 years in college, does he?
