It just uploaded. It's the whole press conference, which goes about eight minutes, but if you want to hear the part about the game attendance, it's at the beginning.

After a night of drinking after the game, I am still p!$$ed at f'in Brandon. The guy is jerk, way to come out and rip a crowd after going 1-4 at home for the year. Way to go GB! I was there for 3+ hours in freezing temperature to watch you blow a chance at redemption.

Fitting way to end this f'in pitiful home season, I can't support a program led by this joker.

How can I tell Gregg Brandon to f**k off? What's his e-mail addy? I've never felt so compelled to do this. I am pissed. I've dismissed so many things before, but this is the last straw. "The kids played their guts out..blah, blah, blah...." You call out the crowd after this debacle? f**k you Gregg!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have been there if I didn't live 2500 miles away. Heads need to roll after this one. Get that fucker out of there!!!!!!

If you really want to email him you can find his address in the directory on the BGSU website. I have sent him emails in the past, and I know he actually checks it quite frequently. At least he use to.

He DID commend the fans who showed up. "Awesome" was the term. On the other hand he could have coached at UT where only a generous 12,000 showed in a city of 275,000.

I'm a bit more pragmatic on this quote this morning.

I understand that he was frustrated about the attendance and that the team deserves better support. With that said, we have a program with some rogue players who seemingly got a "pass" from the HC. We have a program which has blown 4thQ leads in three prior instances. We have an offense which the primary play is the QB keeper.

Those are PR issues and can hurt customer retention via damaged emotional connection. I'm not sure there's enough emotional connection with this team to have 18,000 people in sub-freezing temps to support this product.

This might be an interesting statistical survey. Hmmmmm.

This is really unbelievable. I'm stunned having listened to it. Its like the guy was just focused on the crowd the whole game and wasn't paying enough attention to the game. How does anyone blow the season and start a press conference like that???

Its time for you to go Mr. Brandon. You don't deserve to be called Coach by the Falcon Nation.

Yeah, whatever. When the hell are we, in Falcon Nation, going to see a larger image of your avatar?

Show you care.

certainly the weather & game time didn't help. But the MAC has to take some responsablity for the crowd. Week night games with no TV is crazy. also if Ohio St-Mich is that big a promblem, Ohio schools should be on the road when games is in Columbus & Mich schools on the road when games are in Ann Arbor. games on this weekend should be at Buffalo, NoILL, Temple & Ball St then fill in the blanks.

or how about Saturday night game instead. Could have a promotion where you show your OSU-Michigan ticket you get a half price ticket. We could have a wolverine roast pregame. I think that sure would beat a 6 pm Friday start.
