vs. Akron (11/18)

Post by mbenecke »

On Tuesday, November 18, our Falcons (3-7) will participate midweek MACtion for the first time this year. We’ll host Akron (3-7) on a Tuesday night in front of dozens of people. It’ll start at 7:00pm. Eventually the networks will tell us what channel it’ll be on, and I’ll put that info here.

Nothing to play for but pride and getting ready to be better in 2026.

Akron is an improving team...their QB could give us fits.

Making the trip up and GO FALCONS.

My goal as a spectator of this game is to catch a glimpse of Freak in the stands on TV. Watching this team in recent weeks has me too wounded to set my expectations for anything more than that.

I'll try to get on TV sitting at the Sebo.

This team is either really bad, they have given up or both. The most disappointing group is the O line. They are horrible at pass protection. The shining light is Dendy. I’m hoping we can retain him.

Halftime, 6-6.

Thank god we play these empty stadium games on Tuesday nights in the worst conference in college football. Really makes it worth it when the halftime coverage is debating whether 3-loss Texas deserves to make the playoff.

I just realized I posted in the wrong thread. But it remains we are good at penalties and kicking field goals.

I just turned the game on and saw AKron take a 9-6 lead.

I won't speculate on how much you must love BG football (or hate all other aspects of your life) to sit out in this weather to watch a 6-6 half of football, but how in god's name is it still only 3:00 into the 2nd half? Didn't this game kick off over 2 hrs ago!?

I know we are down to our fourth qb but what was the plan? What are we doing?

Just count that as a TD, because it's the only thing resembling real football we've seen. Give the poor fans a break.

Falcons cash in great field position with a touchdown pass to Harris.

BG leads 13-9 with 4 minutes to play in the 3rd.
