It'll be interesting to see how many fans they can bring. Their last bowl trip, the 2004 Silicon Valley Bowl in San Jose, drew such a meager crowd that the bowl itself disbanded shortly after. We did our part with 5,000 attending in 2004. Troy brought few fans outside of their band and a few parent...

Ohio fans are like cicadas' They surface every few years ..make a lot of noise and disappear.

Interesting reading on the attendance issues in the MAC. I know that NIU uses bar coded tickets and scanners at the entrances. Announced attendance numbers are butts in the seats. I think this is a real issue for the MAC but the conference seems to not talk about it. I am amazed at your attendance n...

HMMMM..34 - 14 is respectful while 35-12 is not. BG math major I assume...

To BG fans who think NIU is medicore....Bring it on baby!!!!

Funny how none of the officials in any game we play, including yesterday on national tv, call holding when some BG fans can obviouly see it. You must have wonder vision eyes but the real answer is that they don't know what holding is.

Sounds like fans from both of our teams are still reeling from recent events. I was at the Ball State game and we left shaking our heads and wondering what the Heck happened. We both have the chance to meet for the MAC championship if we both run the table. CMU and Toledo on the road will be tough f...

Go Ball State!!!!!

I can still see Hurd falling down in the end zone going for two pts and the win against NW. Ugh!!!! Of course he claims that he was pushed. I doubt it. It was a tough loss.
What a hell of a game it will be if we meet up this year.

My my since you can't beat us maybe you should run back to Div1AA

Our AD hinted recently about an upcooming announcement of a Big Ten team coming to our place. Probably a 2 for 1 deal. Guesses include Minn, Indiana, Northwestern. The Illini won't play us. Certainly not a Michigan or OSU since it would be a big revenue loss for them.

Talk on our board about the MAC being a big disappointment this year. I would have to say that our out of conference performances have not been good. With the exception of Ohio of course but than Pitt is not very good. What is your opinion? Is the MAC talent way down? Are we being outcoached? Toledo...

I attended my first game ever at Michigan. Stadium...huge but not impressive once you get past the size. Outdated. Small press box in comparison to many. No sky boxes. No lights (never realized that) Restrooms outdated. I believe that they are trying to get a renovation project going which it needs ...

We would love to see you beat the Badgers. Give 'em hell in Cheesehead land. Good luck.

Sure the Eastern Michigan fans are nice..the place is empty. The attendance goes up when the cleaning crew shows up. Oh I forgot, there are no fans so nothing to clean up.
