Re: Sucks for you guys...

I had the worst Mexican Food at a "Mexican Restaurant" here is Mars Hill NC. Gads. The guacamole was just mashed avocado - no lime, salt, or anything else which would give it the flavor of guac. My Fajita had unflavored chicken mixed in with onions [ok], peppers [ok], and yellow squash [w...

Re: Three Star LB down to BG and Toledo...Going to the Dark Side

Maybe the people running the UC boards are clueless inbred mouth breathers lacking in the specific knowledge of UC football recruits necessary to do a thorough job? One other thing I forgot to mention, Flipper. According to this post, this kid from Glenville was "offered" scholarships fro...

Yeah, you're probably right, Flipper. Those UC board guys probably pay no attention to recruiting. Did you check those end of season r...

Re: Three Star LB down to BG and Toledo...Going to the Dark Side

Three star DE/LB Jayrone Elliott of Cleveland Glenville High School recently narrowed his list to Toledo and Bowling Green. After a tough decision, Elliott finally called the coaches of the program he's decided to spend the next four years at. At about 4:15pm today, Elliott called Coach Beckman to ...

Re: Big Ten Expansion

I doubt any of the former schools would leave the ACC to rejoin a weakened Big East. The issue, of course, would be basketball, where the BE is strong. Ideas? Thoughts? A "weakened Big East"? Are you kidding me? Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, South Florida and West Virginia? A "...

Re: BG vs. Idaho in Humanitarian Bowl

There's a great place called Murphy's Seafood Bar and Grill. Very good food, great ambiance, not too expensive. Also a personal note - that's where April and I got engaged September 2008. You proposed to your future wife over a trout at a cheap restaurant in Idaho? You BG guys are pretty weird. In ...

Re: Ratings on Commts = What a difference!

Just for the heck of it, I decided to look up and compare the ratings of our TENTATIVE commits for next year. Scout, Rivals, and ESPN are, I believe, the most common "rating" groups...and I found it very interesting to see how many, if any of them, agreed on their ratings, based upon the ...

Re: How can we emulate Boise's success?

No...I was pretty much asking anyone who cared to respond...it's the advantage that message board post has over a personal message :-) Okay, so this was your first answer. I thought about the fact that Ohio has two BCS teams. Both of them are in the top ten of the country. Ohio is the only state wi...

Re: How can we emulate Boise's success?

So...let's say Florida and Alabama drop a game in the SEC (before the title game) and Boise and UC win out from here. Is that your BCS match up? Flip, I'm assuming you are asking this question of Texcat. Therefore, I'm going to answer it. Boise State could easily go undefeated for the season becaus...

Re: How can we emulate Boise's success?

She chose to replace Huggins with a coach who was a Huggins trainee and protogé. Does that make sense? Unfortunately, three classes of recruits bolted from the program saying "I came here to play for Bob Huggins and play in the NBA". This poor sap who replaced Huggins, Mick Cronin, had to...

Re: How can we emulate Boise's success?

UC has elevated itself as well, and within Ohio. UC was an utter joke of a football program, with a lousy stadium in a demilitarized zone of a campus, in a city only a few notches above Detroit in some way. They turned the trick however, by spending money that MAC schools won't be able to match. Th...

Re: How can we emulate Boise's success?

The best thing to ever happen to UC football was watching their basketball program be whittled away to nothing while at the same time Dantonio recruiting like crazy. Football became popular at UC after the basketball team hit rock bottom. UC football had the perfect storm, hired Dantonio who did a ...

Re: How can we emulate Boise's success?

Hi everybody, I feel the single most important fact in the rise of BSU football is location, like others have mentioned. There are 700k people in the Boise area and it is the most remote city in the entire lower 48 states. BSU football is the only show in town. Washington State and Utah are the 2 c...
