Nicely written. Decent info. I disagree with his Temple prediction, but that's fine.

"We'll be back later".

:shock:

How many people does he have in him?

Quite possibly talking about the team collectively? I don't know. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I think he's right about Temple.

I also think he pokes his head in AZZ.com more than he would care to admit.

I do believe Temple will be a factor in the MAC. Eventually. I don't believe it will be any time too soon, however. That is the core of my disagreement.

It's going to take them awhile, but I think Temple has a chance to be a very good MAC program. Assuming that they'll recruit PA hard against Akron, UT, Kent , OU and of course, us...they could make some inroads by being a in state alternative to Pitt and Penn State for some of those ** and *** guys the MAC has been able to land by promising a better shot at playing time.

Nice entry from Coach B... as others have pointed out, he's now an "internet guru"

Reading this blog article, Greg Brandon doesn't sound like the kind of guy who is looking to jet out of here at the first opportunity. He sounds like he is truly happy here, and the fact that he has immersed himself in Falcon history makes me very happy. Personally, I give Coach props.

This article was EXTREMELY well written, too.

Also, I have to agree with coach that Temple will be a tough opponent pretty soon, I just don't see how the conference benefits from that directly. I'm not convinced that anyone in the Philadelphia area would give a crap even if the Owls won five MACC's in a row...

Temple will become a factor once the have's (Toledo, Miami, NIU, Ohio, BG, and Ball State leave the conference.)

Coach Brandon is awesome, i think he really knows what he is talking about and knows it was good for us to bring in Lovett at DC

These blogs are great.

I think Coach Brandon and staff have done an exceptional job since Meyer left. We definitely need to win the MAC this season...13 years is way too long since our last championship.

I would like to think Coach isn't interested in going somewhere else but you just never know.

He sounds very sincere about being here.

Let's get it done this season!

I think he is sincere, but this is also his career, and if he sees and opportunity and wants to take it, I'm behind him.

I think he really likes it here. He could have had a 500k/yr job at UNLV. That tells me that he is not all about the money. However, I think he is waiting for the right job. I think he knows bigger and better fish will be calling if the success continues.

I am a huge fan of GB, I like him 10x more than I ever liked Meyer. I will be a fan of him whether he is at BGSU or not. I doubt he will be here much longer but would love for him to stick around.
