Why Should Quale Have All the Fun?

Say perhaps you’re a fan of the underdog and have no reason to throw a gamecover with the human bowling ball known as Quale Lewis in your NCAA ’11 case like we suggested and created for you yesterday. Then feast your eyes on this… BOOM. Parrish’d. You’re welcome, America.

Who Needs Tebow When You Have Quale

Like many, I was somewhat disappointed that the cover boy of NCAA ’11 this year would be the Tebowchild. Granted, I love me some Bible verses and some baby rhino-ness, but enough is enough. There are far better players or perhaps more interesting characters to grace that cover. I can think of one from Ball [...]

Happy Birthday to OTP

July 25, 2008 was the start of something that frankly has surprised all of us associated with OTP. It was the start of providing coverage, humor, and most importantly a spotlight on the Ball State football Cardinals. I, of course, take all of the credit for the 12-0 regular season that followed, as clearly the [...]

The MAC Clearly Has a Sense of Humor

Let it never be said that the MidAmerican Conference doesn’t have a sense of humor or at the very least, irony. Headling their preseason media day festivities will be Bill Hancock, executive director of the BCS and ESPN Gameday’s Desmond Howard. Personally, I think this is simply hysterical. Bill Hancock, executive director of an organization that [...]

Get to Know Sean Baker

It’s day 1 of the 2010 preseason predictions around OTPville, but as we’re finishing all that chaos up and making some last minute changes, take a moment to enjoy the latest “Getting to Know You” segment published by the MidAmerican Conference, this time with BSU’s own Sean Baker. As most of them have been to this [...]

Know a ’10 Opponent: Iowa

In an effort to educate, preview, and most importantly, make fun of, the upcoming teams which dare play the Cardinals, OTP is proud to present the Know a ’10 Opponent series. Like we always caution, previewing and attempting to quantify the unquantifiable, especially two months away from the season is basically begging for failure, but we’ll [...]

The Scheu Updated in NCAA Football 11! Finally!

Yes, we’re nerds. Yes, we still play video games. Yes, it sort of irked us that Scheumann Stadium didn’t look quite right last year with no end zone seating and no updated press box. Fire up, boys and girls, because Virtual Scheumann looks damn good. It only took a couple of years, but EA Sports [...]

The Last Decade, in Sweet YouTube Form

We are 8 weeks away… 56 days… 1352 hours from the kickoff of Ball State’s 2010 campaign. Need to get yourself motivated? Want an excuse to think about football instead of the work you should be doing? Thought so. Enjoy…. And all those moments, all those memories, all those feelings that video reignites are just [...]

Know a ’10 Opponent: Purdue
