Jay Steilberg Steps Down From BSU

Most fans of a program are aware of the head coach, the star players, and the household names that make up a program. What gets lost in that shuffle for the casual observer and is really only noted by the extremely vested fan are the folks further down the coaching tree or those in the [...]

Stan Parrish Makes Cameo on Tom Brady Slurpfest

I am admittedly not the world’s biggest NFL fan. Yes, I keep up with the Colts and Bears as the two most local NFL teams to my Indiana roots, but for the most part, I can take or leave the copious amounts of inflated salaries and inflated egos of the boys who play on Sunday. [...]

Lembo Newsletter & Lynch Q&A

Despite the fact that it’s the long cold winter part of the offseason between the signing day festivities and the beginning of spring practice, news and things of note out of Muncie has been coming at a fever pitch the last few days with some quite cool nuggets for fans to peruse. First and foremost [...]

Lembo Reaches Out to BSU Football Alums

It’s been said that new Cardinals head coach Pete Lembo has been working diligently his first few weeks to get the program in good standing with as many vested parties as possible. He certainly has done that with the casual fan, through his introductory press conference, basketball game interviews, and fan meet and greets around [...]

Lembo & Staff Hit the Town

For the longest time, there has been some serious strain on the town-gown relationships between the greater Muncie community and the Ball State football team. This could of course be attributed to a whole host of reasons, ranging from a lack of consistent success to the depressed economic situation in East Central Indiana. Give new [...]

Lucas Oil, DUIs, New Recruits, and Coach Chats. What an Offseason So Far

You know, sort of like the Howard Stern show curse, where whenever the King of All Media takes a week off from his radio show, celebrities die, usually in bunches, and all without the commentary of Howard, Robin, Fred and Bababooey the last couple weeks have been a whirlwind of Ball State footballness despite our [...]

Hoke to Michigan Should Stop the Fan Wars

When  Brady Hoke left his alma mater before the 2008 GMAC Bowl a chain of events started that no one could have foreseen. In the last two years, BSU football has certainly struggled on the field, there’s been several incidents off it, the press and fans have painted the administration as uncaring, incompetent, and non-committal [...]

BSU Football Has a Coaching Staff

From the BSU release received this evening, it looks like the coaching staff for the 2011 Cardinals is just about complete. There’s still a full-time vacancy listed (for what I presume to be a strength and conditioning coach, though there isn’t a specific linebackers coach mentioned below either but Bateman does have LB position coach [...]

Happy Birthday to Stan

That’s right, ladies and gents, it’s Coach Parrish’s birthday today. Stan turns 64 today, so bully for him. I think a win at Iowa is a super birthday gift for him, don’t you?

Bust a Move, Stan

Admittedly, it’s been a year since I’ve been back to Muncie for an epic clash of the Cardinal football team and the group of jabronis that dare attempt to play this game. What I have found though, throughout my travels through college football is that halftime shows, much like stadium food is so very different [...]
