Look who’s still sneaking around the chicken coop!
What MAC team has won a game against the BCS each of the last 3 years? BG, NIU, UT or Miami? Nope. How about OHIO? Yep! OU beat Illinois tonight on the road. I know Illinois is down and all, but it was a road win over the Big Ten for the MAC and we’ll take it every time. OU also beat Pitt from the Big East last year and Kentucky from the SEC the year before that. We’re quietly sneaking around the MAC East and I like it. Everyone is talking about Kent State but don’t be surprised if we get a win up there. Hats off the BG a few weeks ago in Athens, you played a better game and won. You may have won the fight, but we're going to win the war. We haven’t played Kent State yet and we can control things with a win there. And remember, if we end up in a three-way tie, we’ve already got crossover wins against NIU and WMU.

17 OU Players Arrest This Year
Ohio To Review Policy
POSTED: 12:00 am EDT October 1, 2006
ATHENS, Ohio -- Ohio University will review its football team's policies
after a newspaper reported that 17 players have been arrested this year on
charges including drug abuse and assault, the chairman of the board of
trustees said.
None of the players has missed game time, The Columbus Dispatch reported
Saturday. Ten have been convicted of misdemeanors in Athens Municipal Court.
"Not good news," board chairman Greg Browning said when the newspaper told
him about the arrests.
"I can promise you I will be following up on this immediately. It obviously
raises concerns. We'll make sure it's dealt with in the right way."
Six days of studying in the football office is the standard punishment for
first-time offenders. Coach Frank Solich said a felony, a weapons charge or
a second offense could get a player suspended or kicked off the team. Two
players were dismissed last year.
Solich defended his discipline system.
"We think it's not only fair, but pretty tough," he said.
Athletic director Kirby Hocutt said he was bothered by the number of arrests
but didn't think further punishments were necessary.
University President Roderick McDavis wouldn't talk about the football
program. He is at the helm of a new effort to curb underage and high-risk
drinking at the university, which was sixth on the Princeton Review's most
recent list of top party schools. Several of the 17 players were charged
with alcohol-related offenses.
After Solich was convicted of drunken driving in November, McDavis put him
on probation and required him to take part in alcohol education initiatives
at the school. The coach pleaded no contest but later tried unsuccessfully
to withdraw the plea.
Junior offensive lineman Paul Johnson, 22, was convicted Sept. 21 of assault
after he and another player knocked down and beat a bar owner who had kicked
them out, court records show. Athens Municipal Court Judge William Grim
sentenced Johnson to 10 days in jail, which he'll start serving Nov. 27,
after the regular season ends. Prosecutors said it's common for the judge to
delay students' sentencing until school vacations so they don't miss class.
Former football player Chris Kraus said he was the victim of the assault. He
has contacted university officials about players misbehaving in the bar he
manages, The Pub.
"The university, the athletic department is blowing this off like nothing,
when I was being kicked in the head," Kraus said. He said he was caught with
beer as an 18-year-old football player in 1998 and suspended for a game by
then-coach Jim Grobe.
Solich said he tells his players to stay out of The Pub. Two other players
were arrested outside the bar in April, and in May a player was charged with
threatening an employee.
Four Ohio State football players have been charged in Franklin County
Municipal Court since Jan. 1. Coach Jim Tressel disciplines players on a
case-by-case basis and won't talk about the penalties he issues, said Steve
Snapp, an Ohio State spokesman.
Solich is in his second year at Ohio after six seasons at Nebraska, where he
often suspended and sometimes dismissed convicted players. He said most of
those players were found guilty of second offenses.

OhioSlobCat....well, well, well. Look who came out of his litter box...only 2 weeks too late. How'd ya like that pounding we gave your boys again this year? At least you were in the game in the 2nd half this season. BG is so freakin young this year and we're gonna be a much better team in the future.

Why? Because OOC games do not get you in the MAC Championship games. You need to win the right games - Conference games.

Re: Look who’s still sneaking around the chicken coop!
Would be nice for the "better" MAC teams to play the likes of Kentucky, Illinois, and last year's Pitt team as well. Look at who you played compared to BG, Miami, NIU, and Toledo in those same years.OhioBobcat wrote:What MAC team has won a game against the BCS each of the last 3 years? BG, NIU, UT or Miami? Nope.
