Hello fellow Bobcats, first time poster. I’ve been reading this forum for a little while and finally decided to post. I was at the Camelia Bowl, and had to share my experience. This was the first Ohio game I have been able to attend in person in 35 years. It was great seeing the Bobcats in action live again, although I would have liked to have seen a different outcome. I went to the game with my oldest son, an Auburn grad, and I think I have actually converted him to a MAC guy. After the game he suggested we do a road trip next fall to Athens.

Welcome, I must ask, did you take advantage of the exclusive shuttle we offer for Bobcat fans at Bowls games 😎

Thanks for the welcome everyone. BillyTheCat, I wasn't aware of the shuttle, but then we drove. Montgomery is only an hour and a half from my house. Parking was very surprising, they had a free parking lot right across the street from the reserved parking lot.

Not sure what that means, but I guess I'll find out.

Ulster, there probably wasn't a shuttle. That's just an old, stale inside joke. Many years ago a poster complained because there was no shuttle from the team hotel to the 2009 bowl game in Detroit, and that comment has been mentioned every year or so since.

Welcome to BA, and in particular, welcome on National Signing Day. You can read about the new Ohio recruits on the Football Recruiting Forum, if you're interested. I think you picked a good time to jump on board as I expect the Bobcats to have their best team yet this fall.

FYI....there was no shuttle service. Billy likes to poke fun at a certain poster who once complained that there wasn't a shuttle at one particular bowl.

Since you're new, here are the rules of the board:
1. Miami sucks
2. You must pick a side in the great "Solich is the best/worst coach ever" debate. You don't have to express your opinion, but you have to have one.
3. In fact, don't express your opinion on that topic. Whatever you think, you're wrong.
4. Marshall sucks
5. If you don't post under your real name, you're the worst fan ever. Or it's no big deal, whatever.
6. Thou shalt not besmirch the name of any active player without also linking to the news story about the horse that got punched.
7. Under no circumstances shalt thou besmirch the name of Chad Brinker, Dontrell Jackson, Kareem Wilson, Todd Snyder, Jordan Thompson, Steveland Hookfin, Kalvin McRae, Dion Byrum, or Dave Zastudil.
8. Akron sucks
9. Buffalo sucks
10. Kent sucks
11. BG sucks
12. No head coach ever gets fired or resigns. Only "TOS to" their job.
13. You must watch this video at least once a week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN4qpzZ3XEY
14. Stand up and cheer.
15. Avoid the mashed potatoes.

17. Whatever you do, never put a 71 in your name as you will be criticized whether you post or not. Happened last night in the basketball chat. Ha

1. Yes
2. I like Solich, don’t always agree but think he has done good things for the program
3. Oops too late
4. For me, “sucks” is not a strong enough word for Marshall
5. Ulsterman is a nickname so I’m semi-worst fan ever
6. I never badmouth the players, might question what they were thinking but never say bad things about a player
7. OK
8-11 Agree
12. Hmmm
13. Loved that game
14. I was hoarse for 3 days after the Camelia Bowl.
15. I’m Irish, can’t avoid any potatoes
16. Guess I’m a Koolaid Drinker

Pass the pitcher....welcome aboard....don't be surprised if Koolaid Drinkers seem like Darksiders....or vice versa...it happens.

22. Stay off the lawn.

Glad to see your son wants to do a trip to Athens. I hope he's referring to Ohio and not Georgia. ;)

23. Thou shall always refer to our alma mater as "Ohio". Use of the initials "OU" in any situation will result in your being branded as a millennial and reputation forever tarnished.

Seriously, welcome aboard!
