FalconBlog--Triumphs and Trials in the BGSU Falcon Nation

So, how'd we do

Catching up on what promises to be an extensive analysis of the Falcon football season...I know, the season has been over for a while. So, I've already flagellated myself repeatedly over my awful record picking MAC games. Let's see how I did on the Falcons games....

The record is, in fact, much better. I picked 7 of the 12 games right. I have done better, but there were some years when we had whole months of guaranteed wins. Not this team. I thought we would split OU and CMU--just got them backwards. Obviously, did not see the Temple loss coming. Thought we'd beat Miami, which we probably should have. Didn't see Kent coming.

I think we had modest expectations for this team, and yet the results were more modest than even we had anticipated (to put it in a capsule). I think if you beat Temple and Miami, you're 6-6 and the program feels a whole lot better about itself.
