Just researching the games, trying to predict outcomes and even sending our roving Muncie bureau chief Edge to Norman, Oklahoma isn’t enough. Oh no, Cardinals fans, we have to get the scoop. And what better way to do that then to reach out to our friends across the blogosphere who know their team as well [...]

On Saturday, the Cardinals will play their second true road game of the 2011 season as they battle the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman. Frankly, doing a “Better Know” for Oklahoma seems like a bit of redundancy since each and every talking head or college football show certainly makes sure you know just how good OU [...]

No deltas this week since we didn’t get last week’s ballot in. The new timeline sort of hosed us up a bit, but we should be good to go now. It’s all just ridiculous still, even now. After this weekend though, the polls should begin to make sense as almost every team will have played [...]

Each Monday, the MAC coaches gather via teleconference to chat about their last week’s game and this week’s opponent. For Coach Lembo, this particular Monday comes on the heels of a dominating performance against the Army Black Knights, and less than a week away from what could become the biggest upset in Ball State football [...]

Leave it to the AP poll voters to stick it to BSU any way they can. Six days from now, BSU will travel to Norman, OK in a game many thought would be against #1 Oklahoma. That will unfortunately not be the case as the AP has now dropped the Sooners to #2. Leave it [...]

You know, when we chatted about Army, both Edge and I were worried. That worry was for naught as BSU dominated from pillar to post. Offensively, the Cards were sharp and opportunistic taking advantage of the chances given. Defensively? Forget about it! As the Cards got up early and dominated often. And now, we find [...]

On Saturday, Ball State will compete in its third non-conference game of the season with the opportunity for their 2nd nonconference win. It will be tough sledding to be sure as Army’s option attack often times befuddles, confuses, and otherwise wears out opposing defenses. On offense, the Cardinals will face a defensive scheme that they [...]

A few years ago, it became apparent that there were some quality sites out there representing the MAC in terms of their blogging chops, so what better way to bring everyone together than through a roundtable of sorts. A virtual one, for sure, as I’m not quite positive I’d want some of these folks in [...]

Edge and Alan are back to recap the Buffalo victory and get you set for this weekend’s Army contest. They touch on the attendance at the home opener and how BSU can improve the fan experience. They recap the last week’s action across the landscape and make their weekly picks. Bet ‘em heavy and thank [...]

1-0 in the MAC and one step closer to Detroit and the MAC Championship. Pretty? No. A 3 TD blow out as I called? No. A win? Yup. Feels good? Damn yes. All that needs to be said… all we do is win.
