Everyone goes to bowl games these days and a MAC record five straight is no big deal. Unless your Miami, CMU, EMU, WMU, Toledo, Kent, (Temple), Akron, BG, BSU and Buffalo. Otherwise its easy to crumble your way through five straight. In fact, with the four toughest teams on the schedule out of the way, I can see this team crumbling to a new record sixth straight. Of course everyone does that except for those listed above.

Runner up Beef O' Brady's Bowl trophies don't excite me at all. I think most BA fans, even the MAC's best PBP man would have preferred us holding the 20 point first half lead vs. NIU. While VERY close; we all know they did not get it done. However, I ll take our past 10 years vs the blind squirrels that find glory in one season only to return to the bottom for the next five plus years. Attendance and zip code fan figures show its much better in "OUR CAMP" where you consistently win more MAC games and bowl games than 90% of the rest of the league. Most of those in your self proclaimed "CAMP" have had far less exciting seasons to follow their teams. As we have seen, consistent winning equals more fans. The Bowl picture is so watered down that only OU and NIU have managed to consistently participate. The other ten MAC teams find the occasional glory and spend the rest of their seasons watching us play on National TV. It takes more than one Indiana transfer to build a consistent wining football program that leads the league in attendance/fans and consistently produces NFL draftees. OU87 Back to Top L.C.

All the green Kool-aid folks need not apply. You need to look at the team from an impartial standpoint .Having lived in Columbia, SC for 25 years I have seen South Carolina 0-11 and top 10. Too many people on this board can't see the reality of this being an almost unwatchable team in its current state. I root for the Bobcats but we are not a pretty picture in spite of what some people think. Like the Bobcats the one thing that has kept South Carolina from being able to win the SEC is having the elite QB. Virtually every SEC team is putting QB's into the NFL and other than Shaw (not elite) South Carolina can't recruit one. Even KY and Vandy have had them but we can't find one.

I am in the "other teams lose too" clan. Our run of winning seasons may be ending, but it was a good run and it doesn't mean the program is completely desolate and embarrassing. I also am in the apathetic crowd because I'm not too into football in general, though not to JSF's extent.

My personal feelings towards Ohio Football have almost always been based on the premise of "entertain me". I regret that this season's team isn't giving me much of that. Prior years since the installation of the spread, we've at least been an offensively entertaining team. This year...not nearly as much.
