Athletic Director Tom Collins to Leave Ball State in June

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 [...]

Countdown to Buffalo

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 [...]

OTPcast 3.2

Later than usual this week, but the OTPcast is back with a vengeance. Edge and Alan chat it up about the Ball State-Indiana game, discuss the crowd and atmosphere, and try and figure out what that win means for the program. We also cover what we’re looking for from the Cards this weekend as they [...]

Enemy Recon: South Florida

Saturday marks the return to the football field for the Cardinals after the beatdown of the Hoosiers in Lucas Oil Stadium last Saturday. 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 [...]

This Photo Worth Way More than 1000 Words

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.

Cards and Hoosiers: A Battle of Unknowns

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 [...]

Messageboard Like a Champion Today

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 [...]

Coach Lembo’s MACtastic Teleconference (AUDIO)

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 [...]

IU Hate Week… Engage

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 [...]

OTPcast 3.1

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 [...]
