Re: BG vs Ball State

Wow, a 23-point favorite in a game between two MAC schools? Yikes.

Re: We are now also officially going to a bowl

Yep, too many bowl-eligible MAC teams have been home during bowl season, so it's good to know we've punched our ticket. That being said, I still have nightmares about that game against Tulsa in Mobile ...

Re: Kickoff for WMU set

Yeah, could be noon, I suppose. I just miss the days when we could tailgate for at least ONE game starting at 10-11 and make a whole day of it. I hate the early start times. That's my favorite time, too, Brian. I love hanging out all day in the lot before the game. That said, 2 p.m. is better than ...

Re: Buffalo fan's perspective of our facilities

I think hammb is on the right track - I really enjoy watching a game at The Doyt - great sight lines and the combination of the Sebo and the turf really set things of nicely. And the tailgating scene - while not as robust as some would like it - is pretty good. The setting for tailgating is good, an...

Re: Weather and tickets

My first trip to BG with my son was in a cold drizzle. Great time. We got positively drenched in our first trip to Mobile. Great time. There have been games in the scorching sun. Great time. Love tailgating with the AZZ crew no matter what the weather and if there were any reasonable way for us to m...

Can't imagine what any player has to be arrogant about. :-k

Re: One bad thing about the IU game....

Although watching the Purdue/Notre Dame game I thought the Notre Dame shoes looked like Timberland boots on the players (mid eighties frat brothers). http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq76/oaklane2/notredameunis_zps349cd210.png Maybe that is why they had trouble with Purdue in the first half? :dri...

Re: Who makes the big show?

I think booboo will sign as a udfa but likely not make the final cuts. Probably a couple others will get a look, but don't really see any NFL talent on this squad. Brian, you know the NFL better than most other people I know, so I'd take this as an accurate analysis. I love Bayer, but he's not the ...

Life is Falcon good!

In August, if someone said the Falcons would win the MAC title, but lose their head coach and bowl game in the process, I would have said, "I'll take it with a smile on my face."

Now that it happened, I don't feel any different.

We are the defending MAC champions!

Re: Bowl Game Tailgate

FWIW, My son who lives in Alexandria, and the "unofficial" host for the rest of his family, is suggesting that LOT EIGHT is the better choice for tailgating, based on the parking for the Pro Soccer games at RFK.... He asked that I get back to him to see what the rest of the AZZ crew is pl...

Re: MAC 0-2 in bowls...

It's important for the MAC to win bowl games, but I agree that if BG is the only MAC team to win, that would still be a great bowl season.

Re: Colorado Hires SJSU Coach

As someone who was in Fresno when Denny Stolz dropped the bomb, I don't like this. As MarkL points out, it's really unfair to the kids.

Re: Kirk Herbstreit

Herbstreit is a moron. Period. And let's not give Mark May a free pass. Yes, he did say that NIU simply followed the rules. But he also said they didn't deserve to be there. I watch live sports on ESPN, nothing more. Not SportsCenter, not the halftime or pregame shows, none of it. I loathe it more e...
