Good news: He put Bowling Green at #20 in his early top 25 for 05.

Bad news: He said AD's need to consider Gregg Brandon for a higher job :-(

I'll go torture him.

Its sad to say, but that is just reality. As long as no one touches Stud I'll feel OK. He's going to be a great coach in a year or two with a little more experience under Brandon.

As for being ranked at 20 in preseason polls, this is what we've been waiting for and now we need to take advantage of it. As long as we take next season one game at a time, we should be in good shape. If we start getting ahead of ourselves then we will have a problem. But, 20 is a pretty good place to start if you are looking at getting into the top 6... 8)

Ya, I'm suprised Gregg Brandon is still here to be honest with you. With the success of Urban Meyer, you think someone would take a chance on Gregg Brandon and try to repeat the success. Brandon did take us to a MAC title game, and 2 bowl wins, which are two things Urban Meyer didn't do. Of course there are more bowl ties for the MAC now, but you know where I'm going

Still, I'm thankful for Urban Meyer and the hard work he put in, but now we're looking to the future. Your welcome to stay as long as you want Brandon. *hint*

First Street is now Scott Hamilton.

If it will make you feel better, I can name the hallway that leads to my office (ok, it's really more like a cubicle) at work after you...
