1) We shouldn't spend money on football.
2) We should seriously consider dropping to lower divisions.
3) It's good and right that our best players didn't get drafted.
4) It's awesome that one of our best returning player transferred.

On a Bowling Green message board. Talk about being at a loss for words. I'd hate to see what they think on the Toledo board.
1. We should spend less because we have less. we do not have the resources to continue to grow the program with the rest of D1.

2. Yep...makes perfect sense to do that for everyone but the folks who can't let go of the "glory days" of their youth

3. It's not good that our guys didn't get drafted...but I'm not a delusional fanboy. I recognize the shortcomings they have as they relate to playing as professionals. I don't feel that detracts from their status as people or college athletes. I don't view their professional status as anything other than reality. Reality isn't good..it isn't bad. It just is.

4. Gehrig Deiter has a mind of his own and the right to choose where he attends college. I have no business criticizing him for moving onto a program with facilities that rival the NFL. It's his life...not mine. I enjoyed watching him play here for a couple of years and would have liked to do so this year, but he decided to go elsewhere. That's reality...and reality isn't good or bad...it just is.

and finally...f**k Toledo. They're even more delusional than some of you. Every year they talk about how this is the year they kill and become the next Boise State when they haven't even won this cute little regional conference in a decade...
This board feels like it's a bunch of Trump supporters telling us we shouldn't help feed poor people now.

Congrats for making the dumbest comment on this thread...
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

That would be saying quite a bit at this point.
