It was a cold lousy day in Bethany who decided not to show up for the first half. Lots of mistakes, some dropped balls and a lousy game plan after really playing well last week. Nice comeback to make it a game late but for BC's offense to only score 6 points in the first half is awful, no consistency at all.

SaintsFAN... Hope you heal up for W & J. 

Where's everybody on the PAC site. Should have some good games this week. I can't see any defense in the BC vs Westminnie so they will try and get 100 points on the scoreboard if weather permits.

SaintsFAN...GC could be a better game than TMC has had lately but I think you will win at home.

Geneva vs Waynesburg should also light up the scoreboard and be a competitve game.

St. Vincent in for a long day.

SaintsFAN... had a great weekend at Bethany Homecoming and finally got the offense rolling. Defense still gave up 450+ yds but had 4 takeaways which limited the points.
Matt hauled in 12 catches for 186 and a TD and Thiel's Brent Taylor had 15 catches for 183 and a TD so the track guys both had a busy afternoon. I think biggest factor in the game was BC's early 21-0 lead. It made Thiel go to the air early and often so our weakness in stopping the run was not an issue. Great weather, lots of points, a super homecoming weekend.

The Bison have Thiel & Westminnie at home the next two weeks. We need to win these two games or our program has reverted back to the consecutive 1-9 seasons  prior to the new coaching staff. They have yet to go even 5-5. Hopefully they can get the players to respond and play competitive football the next two weeks.

SaintsFAN...The Bison just completed a workout at TMC. My son says you have some freshmen in the secondary. Might give us a chance to throw the ball around more than planned.

SaintFAN...I agree with the retarded but I am a homer. Matt will play the #3 WR position so the better TMC stops the run, the more Matt will see the field in passing situations. I'm sure your defense will be able to spot him.

CC...Not sure what is behind the decision but just doesn't make any sense removing 17 catches, 279yds and 4 TDs (last 3 TMC vs BC games) form your offsense.

Everyone have a great weekend.  GO BISON

SaintsFAN...Have been laying low. Bison appear to be crumbling internally in the early season and played a horrible game at home against Grove City. I don't expect even a good game for the 1st qtr at TMC.

My son has been demoted this week to #3 WR and you'll see two freshman wideouts. Matt was "doing everything right but not playing up to his potential".  Love those coach's explinations.

Have a great homingcoming!! 

SaintsFan...After what I witnessed Saturday night, TMC may get 100 on Bethany in two weeks. Defense was terrible and QB threw three picks near the end zone. I thought we had an opportunity to improve this season but I think we are weaker overall than the past three seasons.

Great setting for BC's first ever night game and we had a good crowd but the Bison were out of it by halftime. Grove City QB was the biggest difference as he is very difficult to pressure and is accurate on the run.

SaintsFAN...

You're tied with me in the OAC Pick'ems You should be ashamed. Can TMC handle Waynesburg's seeming potent offense this week. Might be a good game?

Bethany's defense looked OK against Ottenbein but this past Saturday they were terrible again. Fortunately the offense came back to life. KCU had not scored a point in 2 NAIA games and got 33 off us. As usual, ran it all over the field. Grove City offense will be a handful Sat. evening

SaintsFAN...Congrats on the win. Just got back south from Bethany and had great weekend. The Bison played there hearts out through three quarters, 7-7, but the much bigger O-line of Otterbein just pushed us around in the 4th plus our qb threw 2 picks trying to comeback.  BC had 4-6 freshman playing both sides of the ball and they performed well.

Either our Defense has improved tremendously or Otterbein is not the playoff team of a year ago. Rafferty was rusty most of the day.

CC...Bethany played on a new turf field last season and completely rebuilt thier locker rooms this summer so the facilities are up to date. The offense has very good players at all skill positions and this group has reset about every offensive record at Bethany the past two yrs. My son, Cruse, would just like to play a full season haveing never made more than 8 games.

BC story is their 232 ranked defense. All 11 positions were up for grabs at camp and several freshman from BC's largest recruiting class may be starters. They expect to be better but very young. Opening day Otterbein will be an extreme challenge for the defense.

CC,

I'm the same with the Bison. 3-7 last year but with 2 losses in the last minute and 1 in OT to the Tomcats. Could have been a .500 season last year but it seems like we are always projecting but not completing on the field. Better recruiting class this year and 3-4 freshman will see playing time early. Offense is back so if the defense can improve at all we should be competitve.

FAN & Bob,

I grew up near Bethany and was friends with the college presidents son. We were the sideline ball guys for those championship years. Bethany played very competitive football into the early 70s while I roamed the campus but the program has never returned to that level.

SaintsFAN,

I appreciate the invitation but I'm booked for four homegames this season and that's about all the schedule can allow. Hope we give you guys a decent game and I'm sure Matt will get at least one TD. He always seems to against TMC. Good luck saturday at JCU.

Heck yea I bought the Kickoff. How else would I know anything about D3 football in Naples, Florida. I think TMC will handle JCU but that's a tight game for the first week when you need them all.

I look for BC to stay closer to Otterbein than 30.5 only because we can score points and the D can't be worse. I'd just like to see BC get to 5-5 in my son last season.
