Thought the football season was over?

I have a bad feeling about this game.

C'mon, my beloved fellow Bobcats. We lost four games by three points or less, and we could easily be sitting at 8 and 2 right now. Yes, the team has disappointed this year, but these kids made it competitive, and they thus kept it close. They didn't quit on us, so why should we quit on them? The next couple of games are for Pride. I would like to see the Seniors on this team go out on a high note, and thus teach the underclassmen that Bobcats never quit. Yes, serious adjustments are going to need to be made between now and next season, but, for now, this season has yet to be completed. Let's get after Bowling Green and then Akron. Go 'Cats.

Well said. Completely agree.

Go 'Cats!!!

Vegas line as of Sunday: Cats -18.5

I’m surprised it’s not more.

It doesn’t matter one bit what the weather is going to be like, BG has to play in it too. Ohio will kill this lousy team in wind, rain, snow, sun, you name it.

If you didn't know any better and based this game on the overall record and where they stand in the standings, you'd see an Ohio team that is 4-6 overall, 3-3 in the MAC going on the road facing a BG team that is 3-7 overall, 2-4 in the MAC. It would appear to be a decent matchup on paper. However, despite the two teams being separated by just one game, they couldn't be farther apart. Ohio was right in 5 of its 6 losses and without a doubt had chances to win 4 of those games (including all 3 MAC games which were all decided by only 3 points), while BG was simply destroyed in all 7 of its losses and had no shot whatsoever. Ohio is going to shred BG and will destroy Akron next week to become bowl eligible at 6-6 overall, 5-3 in the MAC.

6-6 and then make a bowl game marketing Rourke under center. Bobcat fans are going to be surprised where Ohio ends up.

I believe so as well. This board is full of negative Nancies.

That's actually the problem.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

The motto for this program recently.

2011 ... shoulda held on to a 20-0 halftime lead in MAC title game
2012 ... shoulda won at Miami as #23 and not lost last three games of regular season
2013 ... shoulda NOT lost by 27, 49 and 31 in back-to-back-to-back games as MAC faves
2015 ... shoulda NOT inexplicably lost by 35, 34 and 38 in back-to-back-to-back games
2017 ... shoudla beat Akron to win the MAC East
2018 ... shoulda beat Miami to win the MAC East
2019 ... shoulda beat Miami to win the MAC East

That's a lot! Using your logic ... Ohio should have about 7 MAC East titles and multiple MAC championships.

Problem is ... you can't. Reality is ... this program can't get over the hump with the current regime.

And the reality is, the current regime isn't going anywhere.

So, it's tough to get excited about a potential 6-6 finish and bowl bid. Don't get me wrong ... I'll be watching and will consider a bowl trip if it's do-able.

But these "could easily be" seasons are growing tiresome.

Get over the hump ... or get on with retirement. Groundhog day is getting old.

Fun Fact!

Ohio is 2-8 ATS this year ... 0-6 at home. Gross.

Good teams win ... great teams cover? Ohio isn't either this year. Yuck.

In comparison ... Ohio was 8-5 ATS in 2018

Agree with most of what you said, minus the comments about the spread, which I'm not terribly concerned about. Haven't we had this conversation for about 4-5 years in a row at this point in the season?
