I had been told that Beckman interviewed at BG a couple of days ago. Also, Toledo did not even start their interviews until Sunday, but UT did have the people in mind already long before Brandon was let go at BG.

Also, in his press conference today, Beckman was asked about BG and he did admit that he was contacted by BG about their opening. Whether he really did go for an interview I don't know, because he did not elaborate.

Interesting.
And a LOT more believable than Norm's story of us in a rush to sign him. When you think about it it's pretty hard to believe we'd be in a rush to sign a guy only 5 days after we fired our coach. Just doesn't make sense that we wouldn't be taking more candidates under consideration.

Is there such thing as a believable Norm story?

Football coaches should NOT wear visors.

Like a hot razor through warm butter, Flipper slices to the core lesson here!

As noted during the UT game, that school was very close to finishing their search when firing Brandon was announced.

I'm not sure any of the first round of names mentioned are front runners.

Anybody would be an upgrade over Anstutz, so Beckman should do better than him. That which works at UT, doesn't automatically work in BG. The salary they are paying Beckman is a hint of what is to come in BG. We may pay more, we may pay less. But BGSU needs somebody that can give us a bigger bang, even if the buck is bigger too. We have a first rate set of facilities, they need a staff and team good enough to match it.

Maybe he's trying to be like the "old ball coach".

Oh s**t, are you confusing me with Flipper? C'mon, I'm not as accident prone as he is. I only fell off a ladder and hurt myself one time. He makes seasonal trips to the E-R.

Truly, I'm sorry, to whom I don't know, as you'll have to fight-out whose more offended at being confused for what.

I need to not be allowed to post before lunch.
