That's how I see it...It HAS been very frustrating the last two seasons and last night was a game we needed to put away but didn't. I still back Coach Clawson...the man has two years left on his contract but he needs to produce the next two years. We're 4-7 this year and could easily be 7-4...we have to find a way to win these close games.

BG 32, Minnesota 31 in OT.

Looking back through the mental archive...I can't think of one....then again, my mental archive often loses track of my phone, keys, ipod and wallet so it may not be the definitive source.

I carry an ipod, phone, wallet and keys...my dad and his dad didn't have that much stuff. Should I be allowed to set aside the whole traditional macho thing and carry a bag...a bag that my wife would refer to as a purse?

This doesn't answer the question but reminded me of one of my all time favorite BG games when we blocked a WMU field goal at the end of regulation to force overtime. WMU kicked a FG on their first possession but we got a TD to win 48-45. Kept us undefeated.

I loved that game like a Lohan loves scotch..... I think it was one of those Glantzis boys that blocked the FG.
