So satisfying to return the favor. Too bad those fans don't have to endure that excruciating bus ride home like we did!. No, that's fine, happy for us! BTW Cardfan, thoughts on Neu now? Thanks for the season Cards, lets get that first bowl win. I’ve always liked Mike. He’s one of my all time favorite BSU QBs. He’s been on the hot seat for sure. There are still some head-scratching things he does as a coach. BUT, he got this team this year to play at a level they’ve not shown before. He got shit done. And he made the right call with Stockton. I’m extremely happy for him, the guys love him, and now he is a MAC champion as a bsu player and as BSU HC. It’s awesome and I love it. |

This will go down as one of my favorite pictures ever. Can’t thank these kids enough for this season that wasn’t supposed to happen. Also....Justin Hall might be my favorite Cardinal EVER Dude is a warrior. Yep I agree deff my favorite card ever.. I know Ive told this story before but the day we signed him his high school coach told me he would be the next Antonio Brown from the Mac. Im not sure that happened but there is no doubt He is a bad dude |

A former board member who I hope will soon return messaged me this this evening and I thought it was well said... Hope to see you back here soon as I now know your still reading us
I'm sorryy I'm not a Alabama fan. I don't get the experience of knowing I'm going to win every single game every single year. I'm a ball state fan. I am happy if we win a couple of games in a year. Then this year happens. The year when saturn and jupiter line up and create this perfect time of our lives when Ball State is the best in our conference and after winning the championship our qb is coming back when it will be a normal year and maybe we will have our best year ever. No shame in shedding a year. I'm so so happy for our guys and normally in bed hours ago but this game put me through every human emotion and the results couldn't of been better. Especially considering that 08 team getting dominated happened my last year at BSU. I was so furious how badly they embarrassed us and thought a winning season would be the best we could ever do again. But despite losing a game this team has exceeded the expectations and succeeded where that #12 team in the country failed. I love Ball State buddy and wish us the best in our bowl game and on to basketball season though I must admit my passion is no where near that of football

Your friend sounds like a wise guy even though I wish I was...I mean he was less intoxicated when he said that lol. I love this team and so proud of all the adversity and struggles we have faced and overcome to have one of the most memorable years we have ever had. I thought after Huntley went down that was it but no. Evans elevated his play. Plitt did and especially this defense. So proud of Coach Neu and his team. I hope this is the start of the Neu Dynasty

I'm 11 beers deep and still so hyped and amped and cannot believe what we accomplished tonight. Our defense stepped up huge tonight. Plitt had a stellar first half. Justin Hall gave everything he had and left it on the field. A truly inspirational game I will never forget. I love Ball State forever! Chirp chirp |

Shirt, pants socks drawers the whole package.. I can finally change I'm glad I was able to leave my last day of Covid testing job today at a descent time and be able to watch the game tonight. Last Saturday I was all decked out in every single BSU gear I own. We still may have a bowl game coming up so don't wash those clothes yet brother lol |

I sent this to cardfan via Private message at noon today.. I could not jinx us this week but I just felt really good about this season and tonight Something in my gut tells me we were going to win the damn thing tonight... Probably just years of hope and dreams coming through but this season just feels like a disney movie It was meant to be. No way we should have beat WMU. Dealing with a higher power. Morry Mannies, Ed Shipley, John Scheumann all up in Heaven putting in good words for us. I know they saw this and are smiling extra big right now. |

I know they saw this and are smiling extra big right now. Absolutely. We’ve lost so many legends recently and you have to wonder if they’ve sent something down to this team. |
