Good stuff, thanks MHB.

FREEP writer picks us to win 31-17.

Pimpleton will have a field day if we continue to play 10 yard cushion on WRs. We gotta load the box and play press man. Make that young QB beat us with his arm.

Don't forget the coaching matchup. Lester will need huge talent advantage to overcome coaching deficiency vs McElwain.

You are overrating McElwain.

If he was so great he wouldn't be coaching at Dismal Molehill CC.

He didn't say or suggest that McElain was great, or even good.

So, what he was implying is that Lester is bad. I don't agree.

Akron is God awful, NIU doesn't seem to be much better, and Ohio is probably below average for their standards.

A lot of people were high on Toledo this year and for good reason. We slugged it out with them for 60 minutes and were fortunate enough to win.

Tonight is a game we can and should win. Zero excuses.
