Looks like I'll be able to make 9 outta 12 games....Wisky, Boise and Miami are no gos.

GO FALCONS!!!

Freak, were you at the Buffalo game in 2000?

Yes TJ, I must confess I made the 3 hour trip to Buffalo to watch the Bulls end their 18 game losing streak, 20-17.

Nice stadium, though.

We'll be there this year.

A interesting tidbit to that game was that our place-kicker who basically cost us the game was the starting punter for the OSU Bubeyes last year!

How did your kicker cost you the game?

Freak can help me out...but he missed two or three field goals I believe including one near the end of the game.

Kyle Turano was the kicker....he missed at least two short FG's. We lost that game cuz, as usual, Blackney played not to lose instead of playing to win. That was the lowest point as a BG fan, ever.

Turano is the jackazz that blasted BG in the Blade last year saying how great it was to be at OSWho and how BG's program was horrible. I won't deny that we were a poor program by the time Blackney resigned. But Kyle? You sucked as a kicker as well! It was great for us that you bolted cuz Shaun Suisham promptly set an NCAA record from 2001-2004 making 226 of 232 PAT'S!

What a cupcake schedule. You should have no trouble getting to the MAC championship game and a bowl this year barring injury to Omar.

Cupcake Sked? Wisky, Boise State, Miami and Toledo were all bowl teams last year and 3 of those 4 are on the road. We also play Akron, who was 6-5.
Plus, we don't have a home game until 10/1! Believe me, all us Falcons wish NIU was making the trip into the Doyt this year. Maybe we'll see you in the MACC.

It may not be brutal but it ain't cupcake either.
