I agree... ENOUGH Solich....and by the way...In Ohio's first-ever Mid-American Conference Championship Game appearance, the Bobcats saw their seven-game win streak come to an end with a 31-10 loss to Central Michigan Thursday at Ford Field.
No more...Let's play BIG 12 Championship football.

The King is dead. Long live the King. That should
sum up how most of us feel about the warm fuzzy's some
still feel towards Frank. Nice guy, good coach, he's
gone.
