BG Football 2021 Resolutions

I just wanted to write down my ideas for some good goals/resolutions for 2021. I want to see this program get to the moon and these 5 goals in no particular order, would be a great start. 




1. Keep building the culture
  • Loeffler needs to keep stacking recruiting classes and filling the roster with “his guys”. These kids understand the slow burn process and are dedicated to seeing Bowling Green back on top of the MAC. So far, it is really only kids from the Jinks era that keep transferring out. 

2. Recruit speed and playmakers
  • BG is in dire need of guys that can make plays and score. That means more speed for the wide receivers and better speed in the defensive secondary. BGSU has had one wide receiver touchdown in the last 17 games, which has to be some kind if record. The Falcons secondary has not be great either so some more speed would help contain the ever so dangerous slant route we cannot seem to stop.  
3. Hit the weight room hard
  • I mean, the downfall of this team since 2015 has been getting bullied on both sides of the trenches. In the NFL and in college, winning at the trenches dictates 90% of games. Great linemen and a solid QB will go far in the MAC. 
4. Win a game or two
  • Gotta get the boys a taste of victory here. Obviously the kids know this is a rebuild but getting a taste of winning and seeing some success first hard is huge for confidence and building the culture. 
5. Figure out the QB room
  •  I know I know, McDonald looked terrible last year. However, he did make some great throws and had nothing to work with. This team needs a leader, so Scot must figure out the QB situation and get it right this year. I would like to see Matt McDonald out there again, but I am also interested in Riley Keller, Drew Gunther and Tucker Melton. Those young kids could have some spunk and provide a spark for this team. Keller and Melton will be true freshman and Gunther a redshirt freshman transfer from Syracuse recruited by former Falcon Coach Dino Babers.

    2. Tae'Shaun Johnson is that dude. He should walk onto campus and immediately be the fastest and most electric player with the ball.

    5. I'm looking at La'Bronz Davis because I like the way he can throw on the run as well as change arm angles and still deliver an accurate ball.

Transfer Portal 2024

  Transfer Portal 2024     The transfer portal in my opinion is fun, good for players, and actually helps a school like Bowling Green.      The portal also has so many opportunities for different players. You have studs from the G5 move up to the SEC, P5 backups dropping down to start at G5 schools. You have FCS starters jumping up to FBS, also FCS backups who would rather be a backup at a FBS school. Many casual fans do not realize how valuable depth guys are and scout team players truly make big differences in practice. Even G5 guys would rather be a backup at an SEC school. So in my mind, the portal is a plus value.      This list may not be 100% accurate but is updated to the best of my knowledge. I am going to give my opinions on each player, not meaning any disrespect but just an honest assessment of each player's impact in my opinion. Best of luck to all the guys leaving, and a big welcome to all the new Falcons joining! Incoming Transfers Breakdown: Total: 18 Position RB: 1

State of the Program 12/4/23

Bowling Green Clinches First Winning Record Since 2015!! (photo via BG Athletics)     Scot Loeffler said it weeks ago, this team has a chance to do something special. I would say beating a Power 5 team on the road, going 5-3 in the MAC and blowing some teams out qualifies as special. Think back to just a few years ago. Mike Jinks' BG team was going 2-10, players getting arrested, zero culture, zero love for the school and the traditions. Now Coach Loeffler in another seemingly do or die season has showed up, showed out, and needs a contract extension ASAP. Now that I am no longer traveling, let's cover a few recent football topics.  1. 4 Game Winning Streak     For the first time since 2015, Bowling Green football won 4 games in a row. Buffalo beat us last year, Akron has had our number recently under Tom Arth, Ball State is still coached by MAC Champions Mike Nue and had 22 seniors, and Kent was 5-0 in their last 5 against us. Coach Loeffler finally toppled the Flashes and it

The MAC says Goodbye to Divisions, Hello to Pods

The MAC says Goodbye to Divisions, Hello to Pods     Okay, I am coming around to the pod formatting. My first thought was hey, this is super dumb. Why are we changing the format that between 2015-2021 never had a single team win the MAC Championship twice? The unmatched parity is the best thing about the MAC. Let's take a look at the pros and cons. Pros: 1. The MAC Championship is elevated. I am hoping this does not come at the cost of the beloved parity in the league, but the Championship game will be better. There have been years, most recently in 2022 where even though Toledo won, they were the 4th best team overall in the standings behind Ohio, Buffalo, and BGSU. So in theory if there is a year where instead of a 10-2 and 7-5 team facing off, there could be the 10-2 team and a 9-3 team who's only MAC lost was to the 10 win team in their division.  2. Teams will play more often. The current structure has seen BG play a team like Ball State or Eastern Michigan just twice in a
