All teams are, and there are times they should be. Nevertheless, this is a bizarre and untimely complaint because, if the coaches cost this game, it was because they were NOT predictable and conservative, and instead of running the ball and burning clock, threw the ball, with the result of two interceptions. In any case, it was a hard fought game against a very high quality foe. Ohio got the toughest draw of any MAC team, and very nearly won. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top allen General User Member Since: 1/24/2006 Post Count: 4,635 Status: Offline     RE: Same move...seeya next year    Posted: 12/20/2015 12:16:14 AM  Boise State and Temple are much tougher draws than App State and Georgia Southern is about even. I hate to ruin your moral victory. We played an equal opponent, who like us had a weak schedule. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach. Woody Hayes Back to Top L.C.

In case you didn't watch the game Frank did NOT throw those 2 passes. First off, overall tonight's game was very entertaining. Lots of drama. mid70s--At some point, a tiger's stripes are evident. Solich and staff--most especially on offense--will never rise above itself and is very unlikely to win a MACC. We are so conservative and predictable. No two back sets, little use of TE, no quick hit passes, nothing to dictate the way the game is played, no particular ability to respond to pressure (must score or sustain possessions). Would be nice to play a guy who seems markedly better than any RB we've had for a while. Etc, etc. You seem to be an OHIO fan. If you haven't seen that over the 11 years of Solich, then you are not very observant. Sorry, but the FACTS are my way. The lack of MACC. The bowl game come from behind losses. The season after season in which--oh, injuries, once again!--we have jaw-dropping losses to opponents at the bottom of the MAC. Etc, etc. Yes, our buys play with fine effort for the most part. Now point me to facts and readily evident themes/trends which show that this staff is savvy. The facts/evidence/reality do not support that. They don't. I'm eminently willing to be shown otherwise. But when you come here supporting a theory which doesn't fit the facts, you will not convince me. Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

So, we put no pressure on AppState's defense. See my myriad other posts in my long history: 2 or 3 back sets (even OCF is waiting for these), quick hit passes, TE rumble slants, true option, hurry-up, etc, etc. Nothing tonight that was new or dynamic or surprising. Didn't do anything to catch AppState off guard at all. That's imaginative, winning coaching? But DUTM up the middle rocked 'em tonight, didn't it! So, what we were doing clearly worked. What--our D directly scored 16 of our points and set up another 7, right? Offense anyone?? Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

Let's just say that you're better than this. First, what does me predicting or not have to do with the validity of my analysis? If I did predict a loss, you'd, of course, attack me for being a downer, for not mindlessly going with the herd. And, I've been there after the losses and wins. I stated that the win against NIU was a pretty good one. kents and Ball were okay--but those are two pretty bad teams so do not in any way redeem the three prior smashings. For the umpteenth time, you can love Solich and staff all you want, but the FACTS REALITY do not support that they are doing a very good job. Enough talent on hand to MACC next year? Could be. But this staff will find a way to just not get it done. How many more years? How many more? Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

Our coaches philosophy and our OC play calling are not going to suddenly change their stripes. I don't see a stud qb on the horizon. Our recruiting appears to be middle of the pack in the Mac. Hopefully a few redshirt freshman will come out of nowhere but who knows. Running game could see an uptick.

The press conference will sound like we have to play the perfect game. The calls will be conservative and we will lose a close game to a horrible team. The fans on this site will talk about how Kansas may win the Big 12 and say they loved AJ's 12 yard run and Poling's sacks. Polls will go up whether we will be bowl eligible again.

Yeah...Ball State is a winnable game...but it would be there this year (I'd guess since they were in Athens last year)....plus they were young and should be better next year. Kansas is, well, Kansas. But that's a Big XII team on the road.....and with our current state, I'm hesitant to say we walk into Lawrence and win. BG does lose Johnson...but return Knapke, who did a pretty good job filling in for him two years ago when they went to MACC And yes.....I agree 1000% we'll get at least 3 good tailgating days out of the fall! And if the MAC would wake up and discontinue these midweek charades, we'd have a few more. I'm cool with a couple midweek MACtion games...but four is excessive.
