BW currently laying an egg in New Concord.

Muskie 9 BW 0 at the half. BW only 4 first downs and 31 yards rushing in the first half.

I am not sure which is worse, Iowa's pink vistiting locker room or BW's brown and yellow one. For me I would rather be in a pink room then a room that reminds me of a sewer.

I am sure when week 8 comes around the pre-game article on the BW website will mention something about how we were the last OAC team to beat Mount. No need to write or even talk about something that happened when the current players were in grade school.

I read Linfield's season preview and their "streak" is mentioned once. Myabe it is because they have better things to talk about.

Question for Pat: How many D3 schools still have the old style turf? Carnegie Mellon has it I think but off of the top of my head I can't think of any others.

Looks like the Jackets need some fans around here. As a recent Jacket football alum here is my take on the program today.

-The plastering of the "streak" everywhere needs to stop. I mainly blame the SID for this. As players we really didn't talk much about it. IMO this is the year that it comes to an end. Which might be a good thing so then it can't be brought up anymore.
-I personally liked the turf but it needs to go. Due to the fact that at least 2-3 players a year have season ending injuries from practicing/playing on it.
-The uni's have gotten better recently with the new away threads and the new home jerseys. But I will be the first to say that the color combination should be illegal.
-It seems the program has been on a slow decline the past 7 years with the exception of the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Thanks to Larlham and Anders. Hopefully the new rec will help in recruiting.
-The defense has been solid but the offense needs to get better quick. It is too predictable. I would guess about 95% of first down plays and 70% of second down plays are runs. Teams have shut down the run this year against us(Hedges will be lucky to get 800 yards rushing this year). I would be foaming at the mouth if I was a defensive coach for an opposing team. I could write a mid-term paper about how bad it is. Snell needs to change up the play calling and try some different things.
-I love the school and the football program but being honest there is few positive things right now that I can say about it. I hope the team can prove me wrong this year.
-In closing BW may be on verge of starting a new streak. A streak of finishing in the middle of the pack in the OAC. MUC is pulling further away each year, the Otterbeins and Mariettas are getting closer. I hope Snell can do something before it is too late.
