Feels like loing this one would really kill the momentum built on the previous two weeks. Like 0-3 from there on out

Serious question - does 2 in a row not count as a streak?
According to the great, great film Major League: "We won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak."
Yes, I have always went by this reference.

I feel the same way. This game is our best chance at another win IMO. It's also glaring right now how costly the EKU loss was for our bowl hopes because had BG won the EKU game, BG could become bowl-eligible tonight with a win. Instead BG is looking at a really tough stretch to end the season. The Kent State game could be somewhat of a toss-up game with how they keep hurting themselves in games. But the Toledo and Ohio games - both on the road - I just don't see a win in either one of them whatsoever. Both programs have owned us in recent years and in fact, Toledo and Ohio are both in control of their divisions and are the two teams very likely to be meet in Detroit.
GO BG!!!

Regardless of what everyone thinks of Loeffler or the teams chances we need to enjoy the ride. Haven't been here since 2015 and you never know what could happen in these mid week games. If we win tonight I'm 100% going next week and I'm definitely going to the toledo game. At this point let's have fun and give the team all the support we can

Both spot on. Can't ask for much more than still being in the mix for a chance to go to Detroit late in the season.


Something about this game just smells to me. Can't put my finger on it but majority of the vegas money is coming in on the Falcons. Line's up to 5 now. 3 humongous games coming up after tonight. I'm just glad we don't play OU next week or I'd really be nervous we're in a classic look ahead game situation. I'm worried the little mini bye we had was the worst thing that could have happened to this team. I think we win this game but i think it's real tight and will be tough to watch early on. Just have a feeling we come out flat but I would love to be wrong !

I’m inside early, but crowd is sparse even by MACtion standards. Teams will have to manufacture their enthusiasm, no help from a crowd. Let’s go!

This uniform matchup (white/brown/brown vs. brown/white/brown) is preposterous.

Might be my tv or look different in person but WMU colors look like white and black on my tv.

Going to be a field position game all night. Both offenses are too inconsistent to sustain long drives.

They're a dark brown. Not sure why WMU didn't go white and white with the jersey and pants.
