Captain Kangaroo Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 From a dominant, legit Top 25 team to a mess. Omar Jacobs essentially quits in mid-year 2005 to protect himself for the 2006 NFL draft, costing his team a possible NCAA bowl bid (this is debatable, since BG's defense couldn't stop Mineral Ridge High School in 2005...but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt).Thin at QB for 2006, we learn today:"BG quarterback Anthony Turner was arrested early Saturday morning for possession of Marijuana. He appeared with his attorney on Monday and is scheduled to appear in court again on April 3rd. He has been charged with drug abuse. Along with Turner, was defensive back Ryan Patrick. He was also arrested and charged with drug abuse. He appeared with his attorney on Monday and is scheduled to appear again on April 5th."BG opens the season in Cleveland vs. Wisconsin. I'm sure when that game was scheduled they figured to have a top 25 team with an NFL 1st rounder at QB. Now they're going to have a big freaking mess on display for all of Ohio to see. Will anyone pay to watch that slaughter? Wisconsin can only travel 65 players, so there's no 4th string they can even put in once things get ugly. I'm guessing 49-0 at the half. BG will know on September 2nd what Temple, Buffalo and Can't feel like every week. And...only 2 seasons ago...BG was arguably the most promising program in the MAC.

bobbyake Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 49-0 at half. I doubt that. Bowling Green will do good against them just like how they always do good against non-confernce teams. They might even win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipboy Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Given how Turner played last year, Brandon may be greatful he has an out to bench him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Boise State?BG will get killed in the Wisconsin game, just as they did vs. Boise last season. Take it to the bank. Whatever Urban Meyer had going on there a few years back has effectively eroded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesZipFan Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 It still pisses me off that they are playing in Cleveland....anyone know the story behind how that happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
you am i Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 i'm pretty sure that teams can play their "home" games anywhere they want. this is a way for bg and wisconsin to go for a big crowd and a big payday. maybe ua could do something like that? it would make more sense for the zips to play a bcs school in cleveland than bg.

How did BG get it set up? WHY are THEY coming to Cleveland to play? What's the connection? They are going to get killed and I don't see any reason why they would draw a big crowd. Wisconsin doesn't intrigue people in this area, do they? I can be in Cleveland in 30 minutes from my doorstep, but I wouldn't go to that game if it were free. I don't see the appeal. Does anyone else? Wouldn't both teams have been better off finacially if they had played the game a Camp Randall Stadium? I am sure it would have been a sellout up there.

He can always get a job returning kicks for the Browns in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
