If we win Saturday I think we can win out. If not we probably can win our last 3 and go 7-5.
Coaching staff gets my kudos for improving each week.

Wow! We finally get a beautiful fall Saturday in October and there's no home game. Oh well, the Chili Bowl cook off is looking good!

Thanks but from a previous post, you drive way to fast for me. Eating chili down by the Farmers Market here in Athens seems like a safer way to spend the afternoon. :)

Is it just me or do the Broncos actually have oars on their jerseys?

My eyeballs apologize. It's the statistics and the improving. We are much better than we actually are.

I'm coming around to see the light, the boyz are improving:

Two straight weeks of not giving up two touchdowns early in the first Qtr

Significant reduction in penalties and just two personal fouls.

The long ball to Cochran was the awesome capping of a 95 yard drive that we haven't witnessed this season.

Defense shuts em out in the 3rd qtr

Won the turnover battle

The coaches looked really into it on the sideline

This year's team is just unlucky that they don't get to beat up on Eastern and UMass

And Monroe, end it today. The offense showed imagination, in the second Qtr after calling a timeout on 3rd and two, the Bobcats brought a man in motion from the top of the TV screen then, he TURNED AROUND and went back the other direction. It didn't result in a first down or anything but you've got to admit that it shook up WMU.

And Monroe, on offense the OHIO QB did go under center proving the experts wrong about how dangerous it is for that exchange. A fumbled snap may have caused us a chance at a field goal.

Vick looked good. Team-wise, pass O and run D were fine. WRs had a good day in many ways.

WMU had a very efficient short passing game, so bringing pressure which is normally Ohio's refuge was not at all effective today. Terrell was always able to get the ball off. The targeting call did not help (it was the right call although I think Ingol meant to lead with his shoulder and his head just got there first). In general defending the pass has been a problem this season. The two elite WRs we've faced, both named Davis, have had career numbers.

Running the ball without Ouellette has also been difficult. I'm not really sure why. I do think Vick adds a dimension, with his passing accuracy and range, that could help open up the run game in the remainder of the season.

Could be today was one-off. Could be the last 28 or so begins to be indicative.

I think we are improving to the point we might play better maybe sometime and come close to almost not only winning statistically but also maybe winning the game. Come on, we lost ugly.

As for the rest of the year, being happy that other teams in the MAC are not at their best is not exactly a rousing endorsement for OUr Bobcats. As bad as the MAC is we ought to have a much better record than we do. Of course there is the injuries, the stupid penalties, the lack of talent, the lack of experience, the lack of scoring, the occasional lack of concentration on kick-offs and punts, and the blocked field goals. Heck, without these issues we might be undefeated. If we correct everything we could compete with anyone. Like my HS coach used to say when somebody used the "if only" phrase; "Yeah , and if my aunt was a man she'd be my uncle". (He was a little more graphic).

I listen, watch or attend every game. I never leave early or turn off the game. I cheer hard and love every good play by my team. The fact that I cannot see much positive about this season or last season doesn't mean I am anti Bobcats. My green colored glasses are scratched and my green kool-aid has been diluted.

"It could be worse" should not be the new catch phrase for the Ohio Bobcats.

This started out going really well... then went completely south. I have no problem saying that the better team won... but when that is a weekly thing, it's tiresome. I think Western was better than us. They were coming in hot from their past couple victories and I honestly would have been shocked if it were a really close game. This is not saying that I was happy with today, but it's just the reality of it.

Forget about arguing over how we may or may not end the season, we are in year 10 of Frank & Co. so the question should be, why are we where we are this far into this regime and why do we continually hope that maybe in 2 years things might brighten up a little. Seriously?
