Re: Coaching Carousel 2025-2026

I'd say he's qualified to teach tackling. The defenses he played on were not very good. He was the one guy that didn't miss tackles. When you saw a collision in a pile where you couldn't tell who was involved and the offensive guy went backwards, you knew it was Trent Green that hit him. I wonder wh...

Re: Sacramento State?..in the MAC?

They just spent millions to buy their way into a broken system that's been engineered to see schools in their position fail, while we need to find a way out of said broken system.

Re: Bowl Picks 2025

I figured after leading wire to wire for the regular season, I'd thought it would be fun to go wire to wire again for the bowl pick 'em but only in last place this time. Yes, I did that on purpose (not really) :roll:

Re: 2026 Transfer Portal

Kids are going to go where the money is anyways. Suggesting any player is going to stay because of a coach while there's an opportunity to make money is silly, money is always going to win. Like always we'll see where these guys end up. Some may get come back if they don't get any offers. Others wil...

Re: Bowl Picks 2025

With the coaching changes, portal shuffling, players sitting out, ect., it feels like successfully picking bowl game winners theses days involves about the same level of skill as buying a winning lottery ticket......but we save the dollar :lol:

Re: CFB Pickem 2025

After going wire to wire, leading all 15 weeks I feel like I should be seeing someone show up at my door at any time with one of those giant sweepstakes checks that I can retire on!

But seriously, thanks to Matt Beneke for setting up our pickem game!

Re: @ UMass (11/25)

If I were a betting man, and I’m not, I would probably hit on anything up to and including BG -1.

Re: @ UMass (11/25)

In the players' minds I don't think there's much difference between finishing 4-8 vs 3-9 but there is a huge difference between finishing 1-11 vs 0-12. One of these teams will have some motivation to play for.

Re: vs. Akron (11/18)

[quote/] That was the second of two bad weather games with Miami too. The prior year in Oxford the game was delayed almost three hours due to tornado warnings. UAO did a student trip down for that game and we stayed for the entirety of it, didn't get back to BG until like 3:30am. I'll never forget t...

Re: vs. Akron (11/18)

My goal as a spectator of this game is to catch a glimpse of Freak in the stands on TV. Watching this team in recent weeks has me too wounded to set my expectations for anything more than that.

Re: Dequan Finn...

I had turned on the start of the Miami game last week against the Scuds and saw he was not starting but no good reason was given. I watched the end of their last game against Ohio where he threw an INT in the last minute to seal the win for the Kittens and he was clearly not injured on that play, so...

When Eddie George’s teams start consistently winning on the field, any comparisons to Mike Jinks will go away.

Re: @ Eastern Michigan (11/8)

If I were anywhere close to there I would consider going just for the gray turf. Any time I turn on a game from there where EMU is wearing gray and the road team is wearing white, I think the color went out on the TV.

Re: @ Kent State (10/25)

Today was absolutely not the quarterback’s fault. Total failure by the defense. They were handed a comfortable lead and they blew it.
