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 [...]

In an effort to educate, inform, preview and most importantly, poke fun of those who dare add the Ball State Cardinals to their football schedule, OTP is proud to present the Know an ’11 Opponent series. Some things to note… this isn’t heavy lifting here with broken down statistics, game film replays, or random things [...]

Les Miles likes walking on the tightrope. LSU’s second half attitude nearly cost them a loss and might have sealed his fate of unemployment for 2011. Florida looked so ugly, I fought off the urge to watch a local high school game. On public access. Commentated by high school kids. Notre Dame came out with [...]

It must be nice to be in a position both financially and in program magnitude where you can say, “Thanks but no thanks” to any Bowl that would wind up with you at 6-6. That’s right, MAC fans… Notre Dame would rather stay home and not even bother with piddly podunk games like the GMAC [...]

Better late than never, certainly, and the lack of which is making me reconsider heading to a distant road game in the future. On one hand, we have the delayed posting, the inability to get stuff done while traveling, etc. On the other, it’s southern barbecue, southern beauties, and maybe some of the nicest people [...]

Playing the Army Black Knights this weekend was a team in desperate need of a win. It would silence the critics, relax the heat on Stan Parrish, and perhaps… just maybe… walk some fans in from the ledge that they’ve found themselves on over the first 2 games of this season. Another Saturday, another loss, [...]

Apologies for the delay this morning… stupid real life. We’re back now, though, and playing catch up for most of the morning. The weekend itself was noteworthy more for what didn’t happen (Tennessee not getting destroyed, USC struggling, etc.) than for what did, but it’s another weekend over. Thankfully, the time for teams to load [...]

The Ball State Cardinals head to West Point, NY this weekend to take on the Army Black Knights. The term “must win” gets thrown around pretty frequently in the sports universe, but this time, we actually mean it. Ball State has simply GOT to win this game. In order to turn this season around, avoid [...]

With week one in the books, the football machine is now fully operational. But if you haven’t noticed, this week is a landmark occasion in the music world. The Beatles are set to release all their albums today, finally remastered on CD, as well as The Beatles: Rock Band video game. I have had a [...]
