Frustrating thing is that of the games that we should have won, BG was the worst. A small amount of offensive output would have won that game. CM said that the Ohio loss will stick with him until next year. It’s BG and Buffalo that will stick with me. We got beat by Ohio, we lost the other 2.
I’m holding my nose and pulling for the Bobcats to continue their quest to break the 54 year long streak. They’re the only MAC team to actually beat us this year and they did it convincingly in Yager. We pretty much beat ourselves in the other three losses. Doesn’t make sense to see a rematch of BG-Toledo in Detroit.
Wisdom appears with age, my man. We still own them, regardless of what happens to them the rest of this season. Even if they win the MAC, they will still have a 54 year legacy of futility. It will hang around their neck like a millstone. And there’s no guarantee that’ll beat Toledo so the losing streak might actually continue.
I once sat through a 34-35 degree Washington Huskies game against USC with 30 mph winds and torrential rain. In the interest of transparency, I was in my mid-30s. We wore giant Hefty trash bags on both the top and bottom. Dawgs grabbed a 10-0 halftime lead and came back out for the second half without their rain gear. Trojans were covered up head to toe like they were playing in Fairbanks. As Washington steadily kept control of the game, the Trojan players, shivering in their long raincoats on the sideline, began looking up at the sky. They were done with that weather and longing for that warm Alaska Airlines flight back to sunny LA. Priceless!
