Wally B Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 Sorry i was away from my desk awhile so i know i'm retracing this thread..............1.) If Ball State would have played most other D1-A teams, they'd still be undefeated. They are a legit Top 20 team. THAT is what UA should strive for. Not an undefeated schedule based upon 12 cupcakes.Cap'n - Yes an no. Yes BallSt is good, would beat most D1a teams and deserves its' ranking. I do however have a problem with this notion that they are playing a "quality" schedule... The Congrove Computer rankings lists their SOS at 118 out of 120 :blink: For comparison Akron's is 105 The strongest SOS in the MAC by their ratings is Central MI at 71The strongest in the EAST is close w/ Miami(o) 81, Ohio 83 and Temple at 85Yes JD should strive for a better schedule, but unfortunately BallSt doesn't have it. Nice plug for them by Letterman for them last night though the big win over Eastern drew plenty of laughs Quote
Wally B Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 Back to the main topic - Acme Zip I went to many of those games in my youth, and give locals a free ticket and they will come. But the University became complacent and just assumed people would show up. I will take this years solid attendance figures as a sign of a growing fan base which will help once all those band-wagoners leave after our 2009 BCS Championship!!! Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 The Leakin has an article on the game's history, as part of its series on the last days of the Rubber Bowl, although the "curtain fell" on this game a while ago Link Quote
