Status Quo
As a 1970 grad I saw our golden years with Roy. I have been a season ticket/box holder since. When Roy left the building, our vision left with him. I hate being in Western's dust, but that is where the old guard left us. I cannot blame Roan or any of our current leadership for our current state. We ...

Re: An Overall Old Coot's View of EKU Fotball
I appreciate your comments and good insight. I know I restated the obvious, but I get frustrated with my OU, Miami, BG friends who do not give a damn about their MAC schools football programs, but are avid Buckeye fans. They don't care when I remind them our Colonels beat Miami and BG on their home ...

An Overall Old Coot's View of EKU Fotball
I graduated in 1970. I am grateful to have seen "The Glory Years" that have faded into history. I savored every moment. I helped Roy retrieve his few errant bullet practice passes during weekly practice drills ! I was a diehard Colonel and I remain so. I anxiously await the inevitable call for " Bru...

Well said! President Martin cast a Churchill type shadow on our campus! He governed in a tumultuous time! His kind are rare! Dr. Martin had impressive academic credentials and political clout! He loved football and winning! Go Colonels ! My comments are not anecdotal, I was there! Go Colonels.

Re: 2024 Schedule
Reasonable men disagree! I respectfully do so with having MSU on our schedule. We are 53-16-4 against them all time. I don't see them as a rival and I think they weaken our year-end resume' ! Selfishly, I don't see what is in it for us. A win is expected and a loss is a disaster! Go Colonels! Class ...

Re: Why not EKU? FBS post
Good question. I think we went through decades of complacency about athletics and athletic facilities before Benson and Roan. Our football program has paid the biggest price for those eras. Roan seems like a progressive guy who can get things done. I hope so!!!!!! I'm getting long in the tooth! Go C...

Re: EKU Gardner-Webb 2.0
Soft coverage, lack of any level of contain, horrible open field tackling , then list goes on..... ! Our defensive ranking is a valid statistic! Improving from horrible is still not good! MOVE ON!!!!
