Ohio Bobcats: The Battle for the Top Spot in Ohio (NCAA Football '09)

[WWF80sKid]

The Ohio Bobcats football team is an intercollegiate varsity sports program of Ohio University. The team represents the university as a member of the Mid-American Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, playing at the Division 1 Bowl Subdivision level. The Bobcats have played their home games in Peden Stadium since 1929.

Ohio Bobcats football began in 1894 with an 8-0 loss to Marietta College. Since that day, the Bobcats have posted a 498-516-48 record over their 112 year existence and a 202-243-11 record over their 60 years in the Mid-American Conference. The Bobcats have won 5 MAC Football championships in 1953, 1960, 1963, 1967, and 1968, and two MAC East Division championships in 2006 and 2009. Prior to joining the MAC, the Bobcats won 6 Buckeye Athletic Association championships in 1929, 1930, 1931, 1935, 1936, and 1938. In 1960, the Bobcats were crowned National Small College Champions after compiling a 10-0 record under Coach Bill Hess. The Bobcats have appeared in four bowl games, losing 15-14 to West Texas State in the 1962 Sun Bowl, losing 49-42 to Richmond in the 1968 Tangerine Bowl, falling 28-7 to Southern Mississippi in the 2007 GMAC Bowl, and losing 21-17 to Marshall in the 2009 2009 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.

The Bobcats have been overlooked in the world of college football, but that is about to all change! At least, that's what you'd hear from their new head coach, Matt Lytle.

Matt Lytle, although this is his first year as a head coach, already has big things in mind for the Ohio Bobcats. One, is dominating the MAC, and the other, is dominating the state of Ohio.

That's right, Matt has his sights set on defeating Bowling Green, Cincinnati, and of course, the Ohio State Buckeyes. Lytle, who doesn't have very nice things to say about the Buckeyes anyway, has decided that after his first couple seasons at Ohio University, that the chant "OH-IO", will be more suitable for the team that is actually being spelled there, the Ohio Bobcats!
