BG vs Ball State

[Flipper]

That's it? That's all you have left? Even I feel badly for you...

I do find the emoticons interesting though. It's been my experience that people who rely on them have trouble expressing themselves verbally...like people who've suffered brain injuries or perhaps the early cavemen.

Caveman? Are you Matt Campbell?

[Flipper]

Yeah...forget about the caveman thing. Clearly we're dealing with a brain injury here

[Globetrotter]

Yeah...what really pisses Dr Falcon off is that his boy...be it Stud or Durkin or whoever didn't get the job.

You are correct. My good friend Mr. D.J. Durkin would make a far better coach than Babers. He is currently ranked one of the top assistant coaches out there. Since Muschamp just got fired, Oklahoma and Bob Stoops, is going after him for a position on his staff.

He is the interim Head Coach at Florida.

This thread has spun into a crazy direction with the Dr. Faclon guy.

I am fairly neutral about Babers at this point, I still like his offensive system, but he needs the right QB to run it. With Matt Johnson this team is probably 9-3 or 10-2 (decent QB days beat, WMU, Toledo, and Ball State). Knapke just isn't very good, he's got a huge arm with 0 accuracy.

I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about recruiting, he kept a pretty good class together last year, Lewis, Stephens, and Johnson have been phenomenal as true freshman. Babers also Went out and got Robbie Rhodes, Malik Brown and Nicholas as transfers (I think he knew early on backup QB and DE was a position of immediate need). I'm really excited about the 2015 class. It's quality over quantity at this point, 4* QB, 3* DE, 3* DT. Almost more importantly, the size being added on the defensive side of the ball. I love how hard Royster and Schwieterman play, but they are horribly undersized.

Rahn Bailey (DE) - 6'2 226
Jack Kramer (DT) - 6'2 283
Nick Lautanen (DT) - 6'3 265
Eddie Wilson (DT) - 6'3 260
**(will be a sophomore) Malik Brown - 6'4 251
There's your future defensive linemen.

Those are high school seniors bigger than our current defensive tackles, and Bailey is almost as big as Baird.

There's no question this season has been disappointing and definitely frustrating. Next year if the offense can't succeed with, Johnson, Rhodes, Lewis, Moore, Gallon, Dieter, Greene, Coppet, Givens, and 5 returning offensive linemen, I will be out there with my pitchfork with some of you guys. I'm also not as low on next year's D as some people, especially if Colvin is back. I'm guessing this time next year we are all going to be very happy.

I must be the only one that seems some merit to what Dr. Falcon says. I see his viewpoint on everything, just as I also see what Flipper has to say. In fact, I see what most people are saying on the subject. The only frustrating part of all of this is how it's turned into a name-calling disaster that should never happen. You all need to grow up. You can have differences of opinion without completely disrespecting each other like that.

[factman]

.....and I think most agree. It is not what Dr Falcon is saying but how he is saying it!

[Flipper]

Yeah... and besides... he started it!

I wanted Durkin when Clawson left for WF. I thought he was ready to take over a mid major and he's a Falcon. He will be in demand. I still like Babers and, like Falcon137, I will give him time to get all his pieces in place. It has been frustrating at times this year and yet we are playing for our 12th MAC Title Friday. It really becomes a one game season. 8-5 isn't what I expected in 2014 but I did expect us to contend for the title. I'll take it. Sure beats sitting home watching like 11 other MAC teams.

GO FALCONS!!!!
