Dave in Green Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 BUGS looking strong heading into halftime. If they hold on, the next hurdle might be trying to hold on to Clawson. Any word on this, GP1? Word: Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson to replace Jim Grobe at Wake Forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Word: Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson to replace Jim Grobe at Wake Forest No surprise. Exactly the kind of coach Wake would hire. Probably a good hire, but Wake is a tough place to win. Following Jim Grobe might not be as difficult as conventional wisdom might have us believe. Or Peahead Walker for that matter.

legendofzippy Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Word: Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson to replace Jim Grobe at Wake Forest Kind of depressing to think one of the top MAC jobs isn't better than Wake Forest.

g-mann17 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Kind of depressing to think one of the top MAC jobs isn't better than Wake Forest. That's like saying "kind of depressing to think $1 million is better than $100,000." If people would show up to MAC games regardless of having gone to the school, kind of like some place I know in Central Ohio, then we wouldn't lose coaches like this because the conference would have more money. There is no reason the MAC Championship game shouldn't be played in front of 50,000 or more fans. There were less fans in Detroit then at the NIU @ Toledo game. And it's not quality of product, I watch a lot of football, and 8 out 10 times the MAC game is more exciting then the "Big school game" (fortunately we don't televise UMASS that much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea how the world worked. I'm not sure WF is even a great basketball gig anymore, let alone football. But one of our top teams just lost their coach to a bad ACC team, which is arguably the weakest of the "big" conferences. (especially now that they added ND ) Reading this article is also depressing: Odell Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your last few posts illustrate your mental abilities far better than anything I could say. The only trolls on here are you and the rest of the Suckeye fans that think Akron is an inferior program. And let's not discuss mental abilities since you can't even fathom something other than what is black and white in front of you, and you struggle with identifying that 95% of the time. Go back to bucknuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Money talks, but I have to believe he should have waited for a better opportunity. He will probably go there, fail. and then end up at Presbyterian or something like Turner Gill. You aren't going to turn historical mediocre/bottom feeder programs into contenders.

Actually it doesn't, I was there at the pep rally when he said it, tool bag. It was right before we played VA Tech. It's a word for word quote. "What the hell is a Hokie anyway, some kind of stupid turkey or something, at least we know what the hell we is...we's a ZIP!" Again, you prove my point, you can only understand the black and white that is front of you. No room for higher level thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a word for word quoteFor the youngsters...In that game Jason Taylor earned National Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance when he posted 12 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, three stops for loss and tackled a punt returner in the end zone for a safety.

Again, you prove my point, you can only understand the black and white that is front of you. No room for higher level thinking. When listing quotes most people fix the English for the person. Very common in sports, where comments are often made in the heat of a moment and grammar mistakes are plentiful. For you to leave it word for word is an insult. If the same quote was on a Can't message board, it would be to make fun of him. Your being present is irrelevant. You seem to like running your mouth though. If you're so tough, post your address and I'll pay you a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you are the type of person that actually makes public threats on forums, after initiating the insult chain, yet I'm childish? LOL, if you really want to fight, which is hilarious and stupid, PM me the time of day you are coming and we can settle this...like...men And why should I get home field advantage?

Yes, yes, you are, I notice you didn't PM me. Typical Neanderthal mental process...escalate to violence, get outsmarted, use vulgarity. I assume this thread will get locked because of you. So to bring this back on topic... It kind of sucks that the MAC can't keep their coaches. Which is honestly why we aren't a bigger conference and don't illicit the fan support we should. I see LoZ creeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is honestly why we aren't a bigger conference and don't illicit the fan support we should. If only paying coaches was the problem, it could have been easily fixed by now. There are a mountain of reasons the MAC is not a bigger conference. Coaches salaries can be one of those reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
