Bowling Green was one of only three Mid-American Conference teams to have never lost more than nine games in a season (Central Michigan and Toledo are the other two). Then 2010 came along and the Falcons finished 2-10. Dave Clawson's team will try to end an eight-game losing streak when it opens at Idaho on Sept. 1.

The Falcons got off to a horrific 1-4 start in 2009, then won six of seven to earn a trip to the Humanitarian Bowl. The task will be more difficult in 2010. Dynamic receiver Freddie Barnes and four-year starting quarterback Tyler Sheehan must be replaced, and the early schedule is unforgiving, with trips to Troy, Tulsa and Michigan in the first four games.
As a run-up to the start of the season, the Wiz will display one poster each day until our supply is exhausted. Last year, the site displayed 69 posters.
Then we turn it over to readers, who will vote on the poster of the year. In the meantime, send your team's poster schedule to jayzuma (at) gmail.com. Thanks to Brian!

Not so long ago, a guy named Urban Meyer was coaching Bowling Green. Meyer left for Utah after the 2002 season and Gregg Brandon took over, going 44-30 in six seasons. Normally that's good enough to hang on to a job, but 20 of Brandon's victories came in his first two seasons and he was a pedestrian 24-24 since. Bowling Green decided it was time for a change and Dave Clawson was hired. He continues his climb up the ranks after building programs at Fordham and Richmond and spending last season as Tennessee's offensive coordinator. With only 10 starters returning, this appears to be a rebuilding season for the Falcons. Thanks to Brian!
