Not a lot of love for the Falcons in this preview. A little bit, but not much. Here is the link: http://collegefootball.rivals.com/conte ... ID=1250333

This preview was a product of at least 2 full minutes of research on the Mid-American Conference, an upgrade from the usual one.

His so-called "Best Offensive Coordinator" landed at NIU after being fired after 3 consecutive 1-7 conference records at Indiana as the OC. The "Best Defensive Coordinator" hasn't been an actual defensive coordinator making coverage calls for almost 20 years and the "Best Position Coach" is a 75 year old man dragged out of retirement a couple years ago.

Clawson on the hotseat, no way! Don't they know how shorthanded we were? He is the conerstone of all these "great hires" made by GC.

We return a guy with 96 catches, a ton of other SR's and we have two incoming freshmen who are probably the top freshmen WR's in the conference. There is no way our WR's are the 7th best unit in the conference....

Drago...I get the sense that you'd be happy if we dropped hockey and finished last in football....what's up with that?

It's obvious that he used to play offensive guard for BG based on his name...or he's Gregg Brandon.

And yet the coaching staff was ranked fourth best. If they're among the best coaches in the conference, why would they be fired? There was little about the preview that made sense.

Being critical of our coach or AD does not mean someone wants the program to fail. The shareholders of a Corporation often provide feedback on improvement needs and eliminating the CEO is sometimes required. GC definitely has to go but I do hope for the best on the field.

FWIW, CFN called us the team that will surprise ...
After going 2-10 last year, following a bowl appearance in 2009, the Falcons have all the makings to become a major factor again in the East race. At the very least, the offense should explode again with a high-octane passing attack ready to rev it back up again. Last year, BGSU lost four games by three points or fewer, and this year's team is good enough to win those tight ones, and maybe a few others, to be back in the bowl mix.
And they predicted us to go 6-6, beating Morgan State, Wyoming, Toledo, Temple, Ohio, and Buffalo. So basically they expect us to come up big in many of our big MAC games. Again, not a big CFN fan and I hate all the super annoying ads on their site, but I far prefer them over Rivals.

Over the course fo the last year or two a few of the top guys nationally at Rivals got hired away by ESPN. ESPN is going to be as big a force in that segment of the online world as thye want to be.

Gosh Flipper, another one of your cutting edge insights. What would Falcon Nation do without you.
