Josh Grant threats
Lester indicated today Josh had received threats after the Buffalo game. Reported to Police, no details.
Are you kidding me? Scum out there

RE: Josh Grant threats
This whole game and the circumstances around it have gone from weird to twillight zone. What in the actual f*ck is wrong with people?

Reminds me of that UM punter that botched the snap two years ago vs. MSU. He pretty much had to go into hiding.

...kind of like message board posters that think a MAC program should be in Top 25 and a NY6 bowl every year.

I can understand something close to that: A MAC team should at least be ranked Top 25 every year, barring a once-in-a-while off-year that's as often as going to a NY6 bowl. I think that's asking a little too much, but I believe the frustration of teams in our position (and NIU's a few years back) is due to not being as good as they Could be. Much the same as, say, UM fans flustered that with their HC, their QB situation is not good and hence, their team could/should be better.
That Akron game -- us with so many more yards than they, but certain play calls and ill-timed penalties (and too many) almost like someone was wanting to discreetly throw the game or something -- it's frustrating. Hey, we lose @NIU or @Toledo in hard fought game? Yeah. Even both if we played decent. But Akron at home playing like that? Understandable WTF-frustration.
BUT, learning from that game and a wake-up call that we can't be like that moving forward... I'll take that Akron game that way if it means beating @NIU or @Toledo, and beating everyone we should beat here on out.

I would hope this threat isn't from a message board poster

Literally nobody on this forum thinks that. Nice straw-man, though.

Also a broad generalization.

same thing happened with Butch Hampton after the cotton bowl. Some people need to focus on what is important in life.

I challenge anyone to find anyone else on this forum that feels we should be "in Top 25 and a NY6 bowl every year".
Good luck.

I missed where Boise was in the top 25 and a NY6 bowl every year.
Go ahead. Keep looking for anyone on this board that feels we need to be in the top 25 and a NY6 bowl every year.

Please let’s not mix expectations for a football team and people who to bring harm to a freshman who is 1,000 miles away from home. Hope they find who did it and lock them up.
