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.
