Keeping this info from the public could come down to wanting to keep BG guessing...or it could be as simple as we literally do not have anyone doing actual journalistic work on the Bobcats so no one with any credentials has asked / had anything to report and everyone else doesn't feel authorized to publicly give such news. I'm not directing the skepticism directly at you personally, but you did just drop an ACL bomb on here an hour or two ago to get things swirling. We've all been under the assumption it's a knee sprain and then you threw a credible source post with that little nugget.

This was my crazy conspiracy since the day after the game. Why wouldn't Albin tell everybody that Rourke is good to go? Is there any sort of rule he is breaking by telling a little white lie? If the media were to ask him why he was being optimistic on Rourke's status, he could easily deflect to "I didn't know for sure."

IMO, this is a little closer to what the spread would be if the bets were expecting Harris, harder to know but I think around 4 or 5, and if Rourke were 100% which I expect 11 or 12. I think Albin has managed to keep if we have 90% Rourke, extremely hobbled Rourke and Harris, or just Harris a good secret. This tip sheet leads me to believe that 7 is just an amalgamation of all possibilities - Rourke at 90%, Rourke seriously hampered by injury, or no Rourke at all - and nobody outside the team actually knows anything. https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/story/2022/... / As I have been saying, I agree with "Bowling Green is 6-5, but this is not a very good team." If we lose tonight I hope Buffalo beats Kent St. I don't have any issue rooting for one school with respect to the other it is just that Buffalo is a much, much better team and Rourke's injury, to me, is just another is a series of lucky breaks that are helping keep a very bad team alive in a weak conference. I'd hate to see this continue and Bowling Green represent the MAC in the bowls as its champion and humiliate the conference by losing by 45 to Boise St., or Tulane, or Troy......I'm not sure any MAC team (Ohio, Toledo, Buffalo) is going to fare well in a matchup like that this year but they'll be a much lesser underdog than BG. I thought that the Buffalo snow storm was might be another gift from on high to help make that happen, and although I disagree with the MAC's policy on this, I am thankful for it in this case. Buffalo probably wasn't going to lose to Akron and we don't need BG getting any more motivation, help, or breaks. Last Edited: 11/22/2022 6:07:26 PM by Victory Back to Top L.C.

No, I dont't think they knew how bad it was at the time (and if they did, they played if off). But maybe Rourke didnt want to go out on crutches to keep the team spirits up during the game. Put on a smile for everyone. Sometimes leaders do that.
