Proud as hell.
With everything that was written about this team, this year on this board in a negative way, think again. This team may look ugly but measured against their peers they have proven to be winners. This program may not be the best or be undefeated but what a group! We, as fans and supporters, should be proud of their efforts.

I know it is everyone's right to post their feelings and thoughts but some of the negative stuff, heat of the moment or not, was uncalled for this season. Since the CMU game each week was a playoff win or go home situation and each week they met the challenge. Six weeks with four of them on the road. Think about that for a minute.

Regardless of what happens next week against BGSU this team has had a storybook season. My money is on them to bring home a 3rd championship in the last five years.

I am proudest of this team; more-so than the others.

RE: Proud as hell.
It's astonishing that a team with so little margin for error won so many games. Seriously. Some of these wins were like magic tricks. Reminds me of the year the Bears went 13-3 with all the Mike Brown interception returns. We all knew the Bears weren't going to win the SuperBowl but it was a blast of a season.

The defense deserves the majority of the credit. With shaky offense and special teams, the D rarely faltered this year (other than maybe Arkansas and CMU).

Definitely. Congrats to the players and coaches on yet another win - this one against a team with a good offense and solid defense. I think they did learn from the CMU and Arkansas games.

I completely agree. So damn proud of these guys today/tonight for this entire season. Now let's go to Detroit and send some payback to Bowling Green for 2013.

Good teams win when they are suppose to.. Great teams find ways to win no matter the situation. This team has taken years off my life but have been a very solid great team. And I'll say it again this is a team no one is a super stud everyone does their part and just win.

That is what I am most proud of with this team. It's a team...

Excellent comparison to that Bears team. Said very well!

A lot like Doeren's first year. A lot of nuts.

Last years team and the 2010 team were both probably better than 2011 and 2014, but 2011 found a way to win the MAC and hopefully this years does as well.

If you rank the 5 years, it probably would go 2012, 2010, 2013, 2011, 2014.
