You can go ahead and disregard those last few statements I’ve made where I said there wouldn’t be any sort of news coming out of Muncie of a sizable nature considering its the offseason. Bombshell alert per BSU press release… Athletic director Tom Collins announced today that he plans to leave Ball State at the [...]

Not all Saturdays were created equal. In fact, I can’t remember a Saturday I looked forward to as much as this one for a while now. Sure, the season opener makes me giddy. Last week’s trip to South Florida set my heart aflutter. But this weekend is big. Gigantic. Enormous, I would dare say. It’s [...]

We also cover what we’re looking for from the Cards this weekend as they [...]

This also marks the first game for OTP’s fearless leader that he’ll be able to devote time on Saturday to cheering the Cards on without interruptions like a family wedding or a [...]

27-20 feels damn good. Watching it in Bloomington with a gaggle of IU students was even better. Thanks to Edge for snapping the below photo at Lucas Oil and kudos and congrats to the Cardinals for a great first game of the 2011 season. As always, damn proud to be a Ball Stater today.

I spent most of a ten hour drive and the better part of a Friday packed full of rehearsal dinners and other wedding festivities thinking about this particular contest and trying my damndest to wrap my head around the ins and outs of this tilt. It’s BSU-IU, Lucas Oil Stadium, the season opener for both [...]

First of all, a small update. Yes, I know it’s IU week. Yes, I know it’s been sort of quiet around these parts. Unfortunately, rather than making the pilgrimage to Indy for the Cards and Hoosiers, I’m in Southern Indiana for a family wedding. Yes, a family wedding on Labor Day Weekend. Yes, a family wedding [...]

Every Monday for the past few years, we’ve been lucky enough to be part of the MidAmerican Conference Coaches’ Teleconference. Today was a special one though, as it not only marked the first one of this season, it was also the first time many Cardinal fans will get to hear the dulcet tones of awesome emanating from [...]

It’s IU Week, and as such, time to pull back the curtain on another HateWeek at OTP. We always get asked whether we actually hate IU, and the short answer is no. The much longer answer is that IU is a great school with a great athletic tradition in some sports and a mediocre football [...]

It’s the week before college football begins so of course Edge and I couldn’t leave you hanging. This is the first one of this particular season, our 3rd season of podcasting about the Ball State Fighting Football Cardinals. Rusty? A bit. Technical difficulties? A few. But if this is the starting point for future podcasts [...]
