Until Brandon is gone, my buck stops here

As much as I do disagree with the way he coaches, Brandon is getting clowned I feel sorry for the man he's only making 150 to 200g a year. Yeah he has his faults but Tulsa's coach is making about a million. We are lucky to have a coach it's almost a slap in the face. If you want a coach to give them you heart pay them! Don't get me wrong I don't think that Brandon is a top notch coach and it seemed to me we quit in the game. But the team had a great rebound season.

I understand everyones frustration, it stinks everytime we get on national tv lately we don't look that empressive. This game is gonna hurt the team next year unless we win or finish second in the MAC.

We got whooped. No other way of putting it. It happens. It happens to every team in the MAC every now and then. What can you do?

I just don't think we can complain too much about Brandon when he is the third lowest paid coach in D-IA. If they want to fire him...fine. I just don't see us getting a coach to come in, do a better job, and stick around for more than a year or two with a salary that low.

I'm not happy about the loss, but I have every intention of renewing my season tickets for next year. I would encourage everybody to do the same. No matter how bad our team plays, we can't complain about it when we contribute to the poor stadium attendance and lack of funding for the program.

Go Falcons!

Just wondering if Arkansas is going to field a team next year after their crushing 38-7 loss to Missouri in their bowl game. Both the Razorbacks and BG were 6 point underdogs. Something tells me they will show up next year as it was just "one of those days." Teams get blown out. It's what happens when you turn the ball over and lose your starting QB.

Brandon is making 150K/yr. The only way we will bring top level coaches here is if the fans start selling out every game and putting money into the program. What the eff do we expect when we are a DI program that up until this year had won 4 bowl games in a row, had an ESPN Gameday game on campus and a "Heisman" hype candidate and we pay our head coach 150K/yr? The bitching shouldn't be with the coaching, it should be with the supporters of the program. Get off your asses and help drive funds to the BGSU Athletic Department. Be proactive and not reactive...
