Toledo is going to embarrass us.

Defense wasn't the problem, in fact it actually looked pretty good today. BGSU's offense is what surprised me. I didn't think WMU would be able to hold a team like BGSU scoreless in the 2nd half (although to be fair WMU shut out Toledo in the 1st half of that game as well).

Good game though, and good luck the rest of the way.

[Schadenfreude]

I know many of their players and have spoken to their head coach. They think Babers is a joke. Coach Campbell said we have the worse defense he has ever seen since he has been in the coaching profession. He predicted an easy win. Moreover, he said BG has destroyed everything Clawson built. He respected Clawson and felt BG was the best team coming into the MAC this year. But Babers over haul was not necessary. He said BG will NOT defeat Toledo as long as Babers is the coach. It was a terrible hire from the get go.

I don't believe you. I don't think there is a hint of truth to this. I think you are trolling.

You're right, it is embarrassing to play Toledo. In anything. Ever.

He lives in Perrysburg and shops at the same grocery store, Churchhills, as I do. Three of his players work for my friend's company in the summer time. Talked to them multiple times and joke around about the rivalry. Coach Campbell is a great guy and said straight up Babers is a mess. The players have very little respect for BG. Coach Campbell had great respect for Clawson and felt very fortunate to beat BG last year. Said flat out they were lucky. When we lost Johnson , he said that was the end of our season. Thinks Babers is arrogant and very undisciplined in his approach and preparation. Jokingly said he wouldn't pile it on, but couldn't wait for the game to be played. Very confident in an easy win.

I've met many coaches/players in my life and never once have they bad mouthed anyone. If Campbell indeed said that, which I highly doubt, then he's almost as big of an a-hole as you are.

Boom. This.

Worst defense he's ever seen? Will *never* beat him? These things do not pass the smell test.

I think you are using this forum as an opportunity to help him recruit, or something. And I don't appreciate that.

I have to agree. I find it difficult to picture Campbell confiding to his wife with this amount of swagger against other coaches/programs - especially being a disciple of Kehres.

*I blame the amount of prepositions in the above to the wine. Mike West Pinot 2012 - good stuff.

People, it is birdman. Ignore him, he's a waste of everyone's time.

Who the hell gives a rat's ass about the Toledo game right now?! We have much bigger problems to worry about - like ourselves. On top of that, we have a much more important game up next against Akron. I expect to lose to Toledo again. We have four years in a row and I don't see that changing again this season. We lost to them last year and it didn't matter because we took care of business against the rest of the MAC. But it's games like today's second half vs WMU that could come back to bite us in the ass.

[Dayons_Den]

I thought we forfeited the season after the Wisconsin drubbing?

My cousin works on Matt Campbell's car and last time he had an oil change said that if he lost to Wisconsin that badly he'd have just given up the whole season at that point. He also said if Mike Ward was hired hed have been happier but happiest if Dino Dawson was hired. Matt Campbell says we hired the wrong the Dino.

This will be the fifth year in a row that Toledo will have beaten us. Slowly, but surely they are going to even the all-time series. Babers was a terrible hire. Toledo seems to be making all the right moves in maintaining their program and we hire this loser. I know many of their players and have spoken to their head coach. They think Babers is a joke. Coach Campbell said we have the worse defense he has ever seen since he has been in the coaching profession. He predicted an easy win. Moreover, he said BG has destroyed everything Clawson built.

Cool story.

I know a guy who knows the guy who waxes Campbell's unibrow...he says Campbell wears brown and orange underwear...eventually

I doubt if Campbell said it, but what the Dr. said rings pretty true.

[BGSU33]

Campbell doesn't need to say anything at all. His team beats ours and actions speak way louder than words do. If we continue to lose to UT we might want to consider ending our scheduling clause to play them every year. It's currently doing us no favors. I'd rather take my chances with someone else and face them on a normal rotation than to lose to them as we have been doing so much anymore.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Dr. Falcon sounds like a pot stirrer, but his observations make sense. I'm not diving off the bandwagon by any sense, but I am greatly disappointed in our performance against Western and can envision another similar poor performance against UT.
