Why? Has anyone ever wondered why?? I just hope that he has finally gotten his head right and is ready to be a solid, mature leader this season. I gotta see it though before I anoint him a better player than the QB of the #8 team in the nation. Come on!
From the guy who thought Reggie Bell was Vince Young.
And look where Reggie Bell and Todd Porter are now.........while Roback is on major pre-season watch lists, and getting serious attention from NFL evaluators.
Keep up the brilliant analysis!
A special thanks to you and Ken for proving my point. Per Ken, Porter started because Roback was suspended. Good leaders, (especially QBs!) don't get suspended and apparently, both Bell and Porter suck, yet they both beat out the petulant Roback. Hey, I'm hoping he's grown up this season and has better focus, but we have to see it! I'm sure Reggie Bell is the Vince Young of Ferris State, he must surely be dominating that level. Roback has a ton of arm talent, no one would say otherwise...but so did Jeff George and Jay Cutler. Just saying.
A special thanks to you Bob........for continuing to show everyone what you're really all about. In the last 24 hours alone, you've personally attacked Brogan as 'kind of a jerk', a 'poor leader', and 'petulant' without actually knowing anything about him, or ever having met the young man. Then you'll throw in an insincere 'hope he does better' comment to pretend you support him and the program.
Shameful. Do us all a favor and just disappear.

Yep, last year Toledo had more skilled players and supporting cast. This year it's a toss up. We look forward to visiting Toledo this season.
You may want to lay off the kool-aid.
It's you're not your .....and yes EMU and Toledo will be a toss up.

Yes, the coin will get tossed up just prior to the EMU@University of Toledo kick-off.

RE: Brogan Roback is our X Factot
The Toledo boys are concerned, suddenly spending an inordinate amount of time on our board, haha.
You boys better be a lot more concerned about Tulsa on the 16th. My prediction, you lose that game.
.......AND even more concerned about the Hurricanes on the 23rd, who may just rip both arms and the head off your QB. Perfect timing for us to play you the following week!
Shoo flies

Dear EagleTough,
I also just looked at Toledo's schedule, and what you said about them being 2-2, and with us paying them the following week, just could be the pivotall game in determining how each team does the rest of the season.

RE: Brogan Roback is our X Factot
Proud EMU alum and lifelong fan but...GET REAL. All this tough talk about Toledo because EMU went 7-6 last year. If Toledo went 7-6, their coach would be on the hot seat and their fan base would be in mourning. Show some respect, they have absolutely owned us for god knows how many years. I can't remember the last time Eastern gave them a good game, let alone beat them. Stay classy EMU. You can't talk tough until our team has done something to brag about!!! UT is the class of the MAC. Wishing losses on them is juvenile, root for the damn conference to do well and quit being jealous little babies.

RE: Brogan Roback is our X Factot
Dear Bob,
Eastern lost to Toledo 35-20 last year. The game wasn't really decided until the fourth quarter, and yes, Toledo played better, but it wasn't a romp. I would say we gave them a good game.
As far as Toledo being the class of the league, where are all the MAC Championships in the last ten years or so?

I guess you're just gonna have to make me tough guy. Although it is going to suck when UT rolls us again for the 11th straight season. Seeing the look on your face will soften the blow.

You never showed up to a game last year, and you won't again this year. I'll be at the first game, easily identifiable by the name across the back of my EMU shirt. EagleKing found me easily, and I'd never met him in my life.
Please show up and I'll absolutely grant your wish. I'll be waiting.

RE: Brogan Roback is our X Factot
Drummer boy Bob hasn't stepped foot on EMU's campus in probably 20 years. Taps on his keyboard from bfe Iowa and pretends to be someone he's not. He was almost invisible last year as we had our best year in 29. Sad soul is just praying Roback and the team fails this year which will somehow make him feel good.
Pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

I'm on campus every year. My diploma says Eastern Michigan University, yours says Trump University. You are an alt-right goon.

I follow this forum everyday. I don't post much however this is getting silly. It is starting to look like the old mlive forum. So everyone take a deep breath and calm down. This is college sports. That is all.
