Yes Situation, your comment about BG being a bad team is spot on. Of course with the 62-24 beat down we just suffered I am not sure where that leaves us?

This is remarkable. You didn't read what I posted to comprehend; you read to create some fictional position of oposition that you could take your frustration out on.

At no point did I say BG was a bad team. I literally even posted in this thread if I my life was on the line I'd pick BG to cover.

I've consistently stated BG has yet to prove they're a good team. Which again, if OHIO is as bad as you people say they are then BG still hasn't proved they're a good team. They haven't beaten anyone. Yes they've played a good team close. But this game is about winning not moral victories (something I've also already said in this thread). They can run up the score all day but they're still 0-2 against good "eye test" teams with one of those losses by 29 points.

If there's any crow to beat eaten it's that bshot and Billy should admit "Vegas" was "wrong". That guy who set the initial spread for this game last night really dropped the ball if his calculation predicted BG was only going to win by 14, 15, 18, 20......

On another note...

BG is having a pretty successful season and that's the best their fans can provide in terms of attendance? Feel bad for their players and coaches. I know we do not pack them in during weekday nights but I think there was a reason that the camera angles were more restricted last night.

OUCats...that's life in the MAC and why young and successful coaches leave while old guys are able to stick arOUnd.

BG hasn't proved it's a "good" team??? Come on man, get real. I don't think anyone is calling them a "great" team, but they've more than proven to be at least a "good" team. They beat two Big Teams on the road, they lead nearly the entire game and lost by only 3 to an undefeated and ranked Memphis team (who has beaten 2 Power 5 teams), and have throttled nearly ever MAC team they've played. They also haven't lost a MAC East game in 4 years! Yes, I know the East hasn't been stellar, but still, that's pretty impressive being that they've gone up against teams that are familiar with them and what they do and were underdogs in several of them. I do want to see what they do in their next 2 games vs WMU & UT, but win or lose those games, it still doesn't change the fact they're at least good team. If Ohio did what BG did this season many people on here would be declaring OU a great team. But to say BG isn't at least a good team though is hogwash.

I apologize. I guess I just can't keep the rules straight on this message board. I'm just trying to keep my definition of "good" up to the standards of Bobcat Attack.

Throttling Kent, Akron, and UMass, (with 4 wins between the lot of them) beating Buffalo by 6 points, and then beating a couple recognizable teams with two (2) FBS wins between the pair of them IS PROOF that a team is good. (Didn't OHIO win a bowl game against an 8-win team by the score of 45-14 "IN THE LAST 35 GAMES?!" I digress). Then going home empty handed against an undefeated non-P5 team (with three wins by a TD or less) and losing to Tennessee by 29 points is just icing on the cake.

If that's good, so be it. Write it in stone. I'll be back in a couple years to measure the Bobcats against this standard.

I apologize for wanting to see just a little bit more from the team I described above before passing judgement. I didn't mark them as bad. I didn't say they weren't good.

The irony in all this is my threshold for "good" is just a little bit higher than the very people who falsely accuse me of living in some apathetic green tinted delusion.

P.S.

You're F'N' kidding me right?

If only this message board could catch it's F'N' tail.

This is an absurd analysis. The refusal to get the point is impressive. The ability to mistake the barest of crumbs for the main course is impressive.

I guess this was one of those good losses because it was by more than 18 points.



Let's take a look at who we should hire for our next coach. Let's hire this guy Solich who's doing so impressively at Ohio.

is this him? (quoting bshot44)


This is a perfect example of being absolutely content with mediocrity.

Since "The Sack" at Miami....to quote Monroe...we are in full meltdown mode.

2015:

L WMU 49-14
L Buffalo 41-17
L BG 62-24

2014:
L CMU 28-10
L BG 31-13
L WMU 42-21
L NIU 21-14

2013:
L Buffalo 30-3
L BG 49-0
L Kent 44-13

2012
L BG 26-14
L Ball 52-27
L Kent 28-6

THAT'S 0-13 TO ABOVE .500 MAC SCHOOLS?!?!?!

BY AN AVERAGE SCORE OF 38.6-13.5

That's flat out embarrassing and unacceptable. There's only one game on there we lost by less than 10 points.

C'mon. It's time. This is getting no better...only worse with every 62-24 loss.

Is it time to vote this guy off the island?

oh god I'm just stating my opinion god can't this just be a place where people can state their opinion god. I'm just stating my opinion god. My opinion feels so oppressed

You have my vote

The infallible litmus test Memphis is down 18 at home in the fourth to perinnnial power Navy.

Merely losing by 3 to the Tigers validates your presence.

I think reformatting Republican and Democratic candidates vying for their respective nominations should move to a Survivor/vote off the island format.

Debates? C'mon man.

And Ole Miss lost to Arkansas who lost to Toledo.

Looks like BG will get a chance to really shake things up if they can at least get a moral victory against Toledo.

The tail chase continues...
