I would rather have the MAC championships. Buffalo has one for crying out loud.


That was nine years ago. Since then they've had ONE winning season and eight losing seasons. Overall they're 35-61, 23-40 in the MAC. And last year they lost at home to ALBANY. By all means, let's have a program like that.

No let's just be respectable. The moral victories are better than the real thing. Hey let's never win, at least we gave them a fight. The players can go on to say, we once went to a conference championship.


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

I like to think there are no Frank HATERS at this point. He has done a nice job at/for OHIO. Having said that, I like to think there are a lot of Frank WANTERS out there...for god's sake we WANT Frank to win one MACC in 13 years. After all, it has already been about 50since we tasted one!!

Talk like this makes it seem that the only thing that can happen after achieving a MAC title is a total collapse.

That's simply not so.

We should be reasonably competitive in the MAC most years with a title every so often...but not none in 12 seasons.

Do you see the phrase "moral victory" in anything I wrote? That's your term, not mine. Don't attribute your opinions to me. Ohio's been a damn good program the past 12 years, despite what anybody thinks.

If I had a couple of fifth's, I could talk myself into believing that. I love Ohio, we have improved under Solich. has it been an unremarkable 12 years, heck no.

Solich changed the culture down here and I hope he can coach into his 80's. People who already want him gone seem to forget how bad this thing was in the decades prior. I'd say we were a laughing stock of the NCAA but most people didn't even know we had football. You can make an analogy to Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati I suppose. I do really wish Frank would win an outright MAC Championship to shut up the haters but even if he loses another MACC Game, I'm ok with him staying as long as he likes.


I have an OHIO hat with the stitching removed strategically on some letters to make it read 0-11.



I have a Chicago White Sox hate that has stitching removed strategically so the SOX logo says sex.




This may be something that you want to un-post.
