More (almost) senseless bowl talk

The Bowl Picture as of 11-23 56 bowl slots 53 eligible + At least one Sun Belt team will become eligible since La-Lafayette and La-Monroe play tomorrow. The winner of that game or Arkansas St. will be the Sun Belt’s only bowl team. = 54 eligible (not including any other Sun Belt team as a viable bow...

Well, you can see from the bottom picture that there is some open room in the corner (Northeast corner). I was sitting over there and there was a chunk of fairly open space. The same held true for the Northwest and Southwest corners. These corners weren't completely empty, but they were sparsely pop...

Maybe someone can actually ask, but I'm convinced we've changed the way we count. I suspect that in previous years, the attendance we reported was tickets sold + students who walked through the game. I suspect that for this year, BGSU is only counting people who show up. It's just a theory. But I t...

I think that many of the schools in the MAC overreport their attendance. You know, like BG did up until this year.

For example, it certainly didn't look like 21,000 were at the UT - NIU game.

Attendance

Yes, the attendance topic again. Supposedly, there were only 17,438 in attendance last night. I realize that the corners of the stands were pretty empty, but it certainly seemed like more than 17,438. Upon reflection, about 70% capacity in the stands and some extras in the falcon club tent, boxes, a...

And also, there was a shortage of bowl-eligible teams last season, leaving a lot of bowl spots open for teams with qualifying records that may not necessarily have the big audience numbers (ie, MAC schools) that bowls look for. As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a shortage this season. ...

Didn't we already know that Sebo wasn't going to be completed by next summer considering that the groundbreaking was delayed?

The good news is that the groundbreaking will take place this month.

Actually, a kicker/CB that plays JUCO ball in Kansas was recently added on Scout.com, we are looking at him as a CB apparently. But think of the possibilities with that one. On the other hand, what a big win for Clyde over CJ! I think Falconboy would agree that this guy would be a "great get&q...

I'll take it

The defense looked better, albeit against sub-par competition. Omar is back next week. Akron lost. I'll take it.

MY high school, Hillsboro, got burned BAD. 56-0. Talk about BAD. :wink: Yeah, DeSales is pretty good. They are one of those private schools that plays teams from all divisions. Their four losses this year were at the hands of bigger schools - Cin. St. X., Cin. Moeller, Tol. Cen. Cath., and Bishop W...

If you think Anthony Turner looks AVERAGE, you have not seen too many QB's!! Give him some time to get used to the college game. He has played a total of one and a half games. I don't understadn this post. I can think that yes, he looks average. And I can also think that he will be better down the ...

Ridiculous Turner comparisons aside, yes -- recruiting information is worthless at the 2-3 star level. The top 100-200 guys in the country we have solid information on but past that it's all about finding guys to fit your system. Even with the (supposedly) top guys, recruiting rankings are of only ...

BGSU - Kent St. on TV (Question mark removed)
