IF (and that's a big IF) Ohio beats UMass....they'll be 7-5 and in line for not just a bowl game.....but a pretty good one (not one of those awful MAC tie-in games like Little Caesar's/GMAC)

The Poinsettia Bowl would be awesome.....for any other Bobcat football than this one.  There is no way in holy hell this team deserves a bowl bid.  

I can't think of anything that would ruin the holidays more than watching that Joke-For-A-Senior-Quarterback TT quit on national TV in a bowl game and embarrass the name across the front of his jersey.....AGAIN.

Enough is enough with this team.  I still deciding if I want to risk throwing up T'giving food by watching the game on Friday.

There have been so many more deserving teams come thru in the last few years to get a shot at a bowl game in San Diego.  

This one doesn't deserve a shot at the Trimble Tomcats.

Am I wrong with this line of thinking?

 

Our coaching/play-calling (all sides of the ball) is killing us.  Very predictable and unimaginative.  And I've got to think that brings the players down--who can be fired up by the bland vanilla that we do.


A quickie--jet sweep..uh, well, the fake jet sweep that NIU ran on one play last night.  Do we ever make the oppo prepare for a wide variety of stuff or do we ever catch them off guard?

 For us to be getting trounced and underperforming so much because of faulty mental approach is shameful.

 

I've been talking about that with fellow Bobcats.....while it's awesome Frank and his coaching staff have stayed intact for such a long time....it might also have it's downfall.  Complacency.

When this staff got here, the offense they were running was new, exciting and not many had seen it.  It was inventive and provided a lot to prepare for.

But as college football has evolved, every one is running the pistol now.  Hell, even the NFL uses it a lot.  It's not longer cutting edge.  

I don't think Frank and his staff have started to evolve.  And the play-calling shows that.  This is the same tired nonsense they've been trotting out there for the last few years and teams have caught up to it.  It's time to either re-invent yourself or at least tweak things to remain ahead of the curve.

I can't be more thankful for where Frank has taken us....how he's resurrected a dormant program into a program that has gone to five-straight bowl games.  But I am getting the sense that maybe he's plateaued?  I want to keep progressing and become that team that repeatedly is sniffing the Top 25....or even ranked.  Competing for bigger bowls.  I hope Frank is the guy that can take us there.

I know it sounds greedy...but 8-4 Pizza Bowl seasons every year might start to get old (if not already)
