So, on Saturday, Ball State got bowled over by Big Ten powerhouse Iowa. The 56-0 romp was actually less than what I expected. I really thought Iowa would score in the 70's. I knew Ball State would not score. The Cardinals looked pathetic!
So, now we'll get to see this happen again in the coming weeks as the Cardinals battle Auburn and Boston College. Some of you may be saying, "Well, BSU did give BC a good run for their money last year." And, that was the only positive that came last year...got a few players noticed by NFL scouts and landed them some contracts. Wasn't BSU 2-9 last year? I though Brady Hoke was supposed to be the new hope for cardinal football. My thoughts...Brady Hoke...what a joke! I'm sure he's a nice guy...but, we need to start winning football games.
Ball State and athletic director Bubba Cunningham (that should have been the first sign...the guy goes by Bubba) need to start focusing on scheduling games that the Cardinals can win. Three out of their first four opponents are teams that will annihilate the Cardinals...a great morale booster for the MAC season. The boys will be so beat up from the first four weeks they will be a mess when they start playing a more balanced schedule. I know the university scores some nice cash in these big match-ups. But, what is that money going to? Athletic scholarships for players that are sitting out due to suspensions? Building an addition to the stadium that will sit empty?
I really want to pull for Ball State football. But, it's beginning to look a lot like the loosing streak years. David Lettermen will be making fun of his alma mater's football program in the very near future!
