Last Regular Season Presser, OMG BORING edition

Coach Clawson did his presser today.  Usually there's a little football education or something in there, but not today.  Snoozerville.

Anyway, you can go to BGSUfalcons.com and see it in its full glory.

The media didn't bring any real interesting lines of question.  They asked a lot about Tim Beckman coming back to BG, because, let's be honest, they have already written those stories because it is just so obvious that they can't avoid it.  For Coach Clawson, who has barely met Tim Beckman, it is not a big deal.  It might or might not be a big deal to Beckman, but he wasn't in the room.

Remember people:  these are professional coaches.  This is their job.  They are competitors by nature.  BG would want to beat Toledo no matter who was coach and vice versa.  I haven't really enjoyed beating at UT Coach since Nichols retired (rare as those wins were).

Hey!  Bo and Woody didn't really hate each other.  Sorry for your loss.

A lot of coachspeak, with things like "it is the biggest game of the season," "they are 3" from having our record," "they have a lot of weapons on offense," and "they are hard to prepare for on defense," some of which are probably truer than others.

Also, a dumb line of questioning on where it ranks in non-BCS rivalries.  I will contend that it is every bit as intense as any BCS rivalry, and someone covering our team should realize that.

(BTW, Coach Clawson did a good job answering it, saying that the only rivalry he's interested in is this one.)

Preparing for the UT offense is like preparing for the CMU attack.  (I will have more later today on 25 questions, but UT has the potential of running like crazy on us...and that doesn't count Page and Williams).

The most interesting part was when someone asked Coach about the team starting 1-4 and what adjustments were made to get the team to where it is today.  He said, in fact, that nothing was done differently, we just "stayed the course."  We never lost faith in ourselves and we just kept improving, got a couple close wins and ended up coming into this game with a good amount of confidence.
