Pictured: Ball State legend, Frog Baby, How can you not love a school with a joyful artifact like her?
Benny’s wings are hanging a little lower and Frog Baby is sobbing as the Ball State Cardinal’s season of dreams was brought to an abrupt halt by the Buffalo Bulls losing the Mid-American championship and ruining their glorious undefeated season which took them to #12 in the national rankings. The Ball State led 10-7 at half time, Buffalo’s scoring 21 points in the 3rd quarter and 14 points in the 4th dominating the game en route to a 42-24 blowout. Regardless, the pride of Muncie, Indiana can take some measure of comfort what they attempted to do, go undefeated and win the championship is a tough challenge as the unstoppable New England Patriots showed losing to the New York Giants in the last Super Bowl.
Maybe it’s just Karma as the two teams’ records would hardly give Buffalo a chance, but it could have been about time a team wearing blue jerseys would win on Detroit’s Ford Field, home of the hapless Lions heading for a likely winless season.
Congratulations to coach Brady Hoke, his players, and the entire Ball State Community on a memorable season. As the days turn to weeks turn to months, the bitter memory of the Detroit disaster will fade as this will be a truly memorable season where all involved deserve to be proud.
