Pizza bowl with BG vs Ohio? I really hope that doesn't happen.

I like this plan.

We aren't as good as many people thought we were. If we played the same game and beat Baylor (a pretty good team), the results would have been the same. We barely made it into the poll last week. It's easy to slide back when you don't dominate again when it was probably only a few sports writers ra...

Well, if beating a MAC school means the winning school drops out of the Top 25, I think we have a pretty good indicator of the kind of love the MAC can expect from the pollsters this season.

94. CMU. Fat Punter. Getting blown out by a dozen TDs is never as heartbreaking as the ones that slip through your fingers.

Did you see how many Temple games this poor guy had to sit through?

I think the biggest suprise I've seen so far this year is that there are currently no MAC teams in ESPN's Bottom Ten (Unless you count Temple).

Marshall was not one of the best teams in the conference last year. The program has been sliding since it was forced to play by the rules. No doubt. But they were hardly a Buffalo or an EMU, and easily better than UCF. Their record in the MAC from the time they rejoined the conference was pretty sp...

But was does it say about the MAC when what was arguably one of the best teams in the conference (Marshall) can't even win enough games to land one of CUSA's 6 bowl bids? I'm sure many of their fans thought they would be bowling this year, even without winning the conference. Although I do smile ins...

Thanks to the miracle of DirectTV, I still have the game on ESPNA.

I would think the only official mac champ rings would be for the actual conference champs?

Does anyone know if they actually have official west-division champ rings or is this some kind of homemade memento or even a demo ring from one of them ring companies?

Not sure if his was posted yet, but saw this story in the freep

You know, it didn't really look like a sellout on TV. Lots of empty seats. Kind of like our home games.

Of course the crowd was easily 3-4 times the size of the empty Ft. Worth Bowl last night. I think ESPN actually went out of their way to avoid showing the stands.

And all this time I thought it was the French who popularized Mardi Gras way back in the middle ages!
