Good response 1987. You seem to have a handle on the stats/details --- certainly more than I do. My responses are simply based on what I saw --- I didn't see much athleticism on the field, especially on the defensive side of the ball. You may be right about the recruits; it's what they do on the fie...

The biggest problem Brandon has, the number one issue is that he can not recruit. Last year's recruiting class (2005) ranked number 8 in the MAC and was a bottom feeder on the National Level. After the bowl victories, I pretty much assumed that good athletes would be knocking the doors down --- want...

Last year's recruiting class clearly didn't stack up well on a comparitive basis. They ranked 8th in the MAC and one of the bottom feeders on the National Level. You can't win football games without good athletes ---- it doesn't matter who the coach is. The defensive crew this year was, on a collect...

Can't believe some of these game predictions. BG might have a winning season if the QB situation pans out, i.e., Omar comes back (not likely), or Turner improves in an exponential manner. Otherwise, it's going to be a long season as I don't see a single game that's automatically in the win column, n...

Old Guy said it all! Right now BG and Defense = oxymoron. The defensive guys are eager, clearly aggressive, but the athleticism as related to speed/quickness just isn't there. Our linebackers are small/slow, and the defensive line fits into the same mold. I totally worry about next year. With the de...

I don't even want to think about next year. It could be a very long one. Let's see ..... Ohio State at Columbus, Wisconsin to be played in Cleveland, Akron in the rubber bowl, Western at Cal. and UT at Toledo. Boise visits BG -- I think. At any rate, does anybody see a win anywhere???? Our "hot...

A few simple observations ----- I didn't think that UT's defense was any better than BG'ss; both teams seemed nonathletic on that side of the ball. Offensively, the two bombs that BG threw in the first half (which never work) took us out of sync on both occasions, and halted what looked like promisi...

Miami is an ever improving ball club with a great running game, and an even better passing attack. If Omar gets a start it would be a huge psychological surge. And some creative play calling on offense would certainly help as well. Running Pope up the gut on first down for either a 2 inch gain or no...

I think the Falcons can win this thing too, but it ain't gonna be easy. On paper, Miami is at least as good as BG (actually better even with Omar), and given the home field advantage plus this psychological barrier known as the "Wammy," BG will be hard put to survive unless they play their...

Miami was a big game for the Falcons even back in the 40s/50s. Winning a game against them was like being present to see the three wise men come from the East --- a miracle. If Omar is ready on the 15th it would be my guess that we can at least stay with them offensively. If we had any kind of defen...

If Omar isn't ready, I sure as hell hope he doesn't play Sat. Hopefully AT will keep us in the game and Omar can sit another one out. He needs to be ready for that Miami game.

If BG plays like they did last Sat., they will lose by one touchdown. If they can avoid the mishaps, and the play-calling is creative, they'll win by one touchdown. ------ This assumes that OMar remains on the sidelines.

Any coach that goes into Div I coaching knows that it's a gamble. You either produce/entertain or you leave. It's a matter of alumni ego/pride/money. These coaches make a ton of money ---- some make more in one year than most of you (certainly me) will earn in a life time. And many if not most of th...

Every college football coach in the country (Div I anyway) knows that going into this profession is a gamble. They're paid monster salaries with the understanding that they are to produce. Producing keeps the alums happy, the egos properly supported and the bucks rolling in. When they don't produce,...

Well coach Brandon we no longer control our own destiny. At first I felt we would beat Akron, KSU and Toledo, but lose the division and game to Miami. Now I am not so sure we will win another game. Perhaps coach Brandon will realize that defense and special teams are as important, if not more import...
