Some of you all sound like a Power 5 program. Never happy with a win, never happy with a season, constantly wanting change, based off your extensive knowledge of the program and game.

Note* as per-par with this board, hand dryers and pretzel selection are also fair game. Bitching about this weeks logo is not.


Go CATS!

In the parity of the MAC, any win is a good win. Look at CMU, who just lost to last place Ball State as an example of what can happen. Heck, Ball State was tied with Toledo last week with under 5 minutes left in the game.

Ohio wins. Go Bobcas.

Per the "pretzels"/Concessions bitching - since so low attendance today there was at least no lines and/or not waiting in line a full quarter to get a water ( maybe if they have it) or dog/brat etc.....

Quote self reply:

Since game vs Fiami start is 3:30 next week - and is Halloween weekend - Odds are huge that We/Ohio concessions will Not be ready - So where is the Fire whoever is in charge of concessions thread? :)

Fire the weird green guy that keeps losing to fans in the race across the field. This is very embarrassing.

I'm just shaking my head BTC. Some of these people must forget the days of 17 total victories in ten years. A win is a win is a win. Period!

A total of !7 wins in ten wins in 10 years is irrelevant. It occurred 30-40 years ago. For anyone going to school in the 1980s it was comparable to the performance of the team in the 1940s. Nearly every school has bad stretches in their history. This discussion thread has devolved into a straw man argument. That said, I was waiting to see the first appearance of a Fire Isphording thread. I miss the humor produced by the Fire Albin threads of the past.

It just seems to me that the Rourke's inability to run the option at this point has created a problem that the coaching staff is struggling to solve. The offensive is very talented and Rourke is a tremendous weapon otherwise. Why can't this team evolve its strategy to be more effective on that side of this side of the ball.

At $50 a game, he's easy to replace. Not even $8 an hour.

Maybe people bitch about the sloggy wins because they often lead to crappy losses like NIU and lousy showings like we have this afternoon against MOFO.

Correct.

We haven't figured it out. At this point, it's too late to figure it out. We are what we are. A really average team, at best, and lucky as hell to be 6-3.

Hope to at least be in the whatever dot com wherever bowl.

I've been waiting for over a month for OUr offense to figure it out and return to its 2022 form. It's past time for me to resign myself to fact that it is what it is and OUr offense is not getting back to what it was last year.

However, I was thinking to myself during the first quarter today that Rourke looked like 2022 Rourke. Unfortunately, that didn't last beyond the first two possessions.

Wanting your team to win a conference championship before you die has absolutely nothing to do with the scope of the program.

Fire everyone. Fire the coach. Fire the student interns. Fire the Citizens Bank first down. Fire the mascot. Fire the popcorn guy. Fire the marketing team. Fire the cannon. Fire the strength and conditioning personnel. Fire the water bottle carriers. And most of all, fire our outdated ass logo into the burning sun.

How about firing the football program?

Maybe culinary should hire some Michelin chefs, but only from France.

It's quite an accomplishment that Ohio has done so well in what is arguably a nonexistent sports market. It's not like we have a bunch of kids walking on from the holler over there. It's not like we have huge NIL options either. I remember back in the 1970s after the drop off in attendance after the Vietnam War, when the idea was floated of eliminating the football program altogether. It would not have hurt the Bobcats to become a basketball primary school. Still, we like our football, so hats off to what we have accomplished, and, don't forget, all that we haven't and probably never could or would.

I wasn't aware we had an "ass logo." Can you post a photo of it?

Fire the students. TV looked terrible last night with empty stands.

On second thought, that's not their fault. Fire the MAC Commissioner and office that continues to put us on midweek nights.

Aside from allowing dogs, was there any kind of special game promotion?
