Why even were we huddled at the sideline during live play? Really bad unforced error. I remember a play during Brady Hoke’s tenure while his job was still in jeopardy where our defense was looking at the sideline when the ball was snapped. They realized it was live as the ball sailed over their heads for a wide open td catch. This reminded me of that. I re-watched the game and took a video of the snafu where we were huddled on the sideline when Mo. State snapped the ball. Running the play back in slow motion, the WR got a little too excited and false started. So at the end of the day we were the wronged party there, in that it should have been offsetting penalties. |

That's real interesting, but still ridiculous on our part. I have no idea what anyone on our staff could have been thinking.

The line judge who should have caught the false start was out of position because he also didn't realize the ref gave the ready for play signal. |

Surely, the MAC refs would never do such a Keystone Cops-esque move like that. |

I don't know how our coaching staff has their heads so far up their own asses to allow that to happen.

My big issue was not allowing bringing in your own chair back seats. You had to rent one. BSU said tha I couldn't use my own for safety reasons My chai was safer than the flimsy ones that were being rented. I think now they are allowing you to sue your own chair. In a business venture that loses $millions/yr, you wouldn’t want to jeopardize a $100 revenue stream |

I also really didn't like the Ball State name being prostituted to sell advertisements for Manscape. Really didn't want to be reminded at games how easy it is to get rid of excessive pubic hair on my balls. Felt the same way about the "BAll U shirts. If you want to say fuck you on a shirt then print it. Testicle Tech ? I don't think that is funny referring to an institution that so made a positive difference in my life. I drink out of an old blue Ball jar and thank God for those five brothers.

Well I remember at Spring break in Florida When most of the college world had never heard of Ball State those Ball U shirts were in big demand not because of wanting in some way to be associated with Ball State but because of the implied meaning. I do agree with the Ball U chant because like the shirt is about the school but also has been taken to mean in slang terms fuck you. Chirp Chirp like that little dancing bird on the helmets sends a message of we are not serious. Can only imagine the snickers from Miami linemen and evryone else we play.

I’ve never understood how Oregon wins games. I mean a Duck? That’s not intimidating at all. Like if I was playing against LSU, I would spend the entire game looking over my shoulder in fear of being eaten by a tiger. Props to Oregon for somehow winning despite having a cartoon bird as a mascot. Maybe some day we’ll figure out how to do it.

I think Nike has a lot to do with Oregon being good over the past 20ish years. What would be East Central Indiana’s equivalent to Nike in terms of a dominant brand?
Also, what if we partnered with Ball Aerospace? We could fly our students in rockets and stuff, beat Toledo at their own game!

WKU takes the lead over Toledo in the 4th quarter. Which goes against everything I’ve ever understood about football. WKU has a goofy cartoon monster thing that looks like a McDonald’s character on their helmets. How the heck are they handling the ridicule from the Toledo players?
