Kent State?! Are they fricking serious?

I don't believe Temple will be that low this year. In fact, I think this is their breakout season and they'll be in the race come November.

And Corey Partridge not getting All-MAC honors? Please.

Casey McHugh preseason second team all mac. That is a little bit of a suprise preseason pick to me. I know BG is counting on him to start on the inexperienced OL. The California JUCO pipeline may keep expanding if he plays to that level.

I didn't see him on the roster however at bgsufalcons.com. He was on the roster earlier in the spring.

I found that McHugh pick to be really odd...it's not like he was widely heralded before signing here. He may turn out to be an excellent player..and I really hope he does, but picking him second team all mac now? based on what?

Are you serious? Based on reading his name somewhere and thiking "Well, maybe he'll be good". Most of these magazines list key returning players that left the team to years ago, or show a punter as the likely starter at inside linebacker. I think Athlon still had Pinson on our roster last year for hoops.

I think they ranked the MAC East based on stats from NCAA (the video game). How else is Kent so high and Buffalo and Temple so low?

I think maybe we have all the proof necessary to disgard Lindy's as a viable resource for BG sports predictions in the future. Their getting real awful now.

We run the table and will be telling the BCS to F-off.

I'm being serious.

I haven't looked thru Lindy's in years. Kent State 2nd but Temple 6th and Buffalo last in the East? 'Nuff said there.

I will only purchase Phil Steele's preview. He always does much better than the other publications.

Less than 100 days now...

GO FALCONS
