FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

Falcons have typically started strong, finished weak in MAC

A like the month of March, the Falcons have tended to come into MAC play like a lion and go out like a lamb. If you're feeling a sense of deja vu, you're not wrong.

In fact, its something that has happened each year in the post-McCleod/Pardon/Matela era.

2002 We started 5-1, and then went 3-9 down the stretch.
2003 We started 4-2, and then went 4-8 down the stretch.
2004 We started 4-0, and have been 2-4 since then.

Is there something about our team that lets us start fast, but causes us to burn out? Or is it just chance that we have some easier games earlier? Or, do we get less healthy and have less depth as time goes along? (Certainly possible).
