Must have gotten on the phone with South Florida. That or the prison bus was unavailable to make the drive that weekend.

Fine, I think a million will about cover it.

It is unreal to me how often we appear to get the shaft. I do recognize that we have been on the other end of this though - for instance, we dropped someone late to go to Oklahoma a couple years back.

If they are able to break the contract without paying a substantial penalty we should urge all the MAC schools to refuse to schedule any games against the SunBelt.

You'd think they'd be crawling at the chance to play us.

A substantial penalty should already be listed in the contract. If not, then more s___ will hit the fan as it concerns the athletic dept.

I believe that Akron has hosted North Texas and MTSU over the last few years. I'm not aware of other Sun Belt teams canceling on other MAC teams. Wasn't South Florida independent or C-USA when they canceled on us?

This appears to be BG's issue, not the MAC's.

Too freakin bad. Get your asses up here and play.

You are referring to Auburn, which then was upset with us because they had a pretty decent year but their SOS hurt them in the BcS. I believe they were undefeated but left out of the mythical championship game as there were three undefeated BcS schools. Then they were screaming about us not playing them.

I believe Krebs made a hefty penalty part of our contracts after the South Florida debacle a few years ago.

I remember that chode smoker Lee Corso took up Auburn's "cause" saying BG chickened out of playing Auburn to go play Oklahoma. WTF???? When I heard him say that on Gameday....

How do you figure we chickened out to go play the #2 team in the land?

Looks like we will either being playing 1-aa school or we will only have four home games next season. Is Boise still coming here? I vaguely remember them backing out or maybe I just made that up.

If this happens after the same thing happened with USF a couple years ago, we had better learn a lesson from this and start getting on some front ends of home-&-home series from now on. You want a home-&-home with us from now on, you come here first. If not, it's no loss to us if you weren't going to return a game on the back end. Go find someone else to stick with a scheduling void. That's BS if they do this too.

Boise State is coming to the Doyt next season. BG will have 6 home games in 2007.

thanks for the clarification

According to Brandon in the same 1470 discussion Boise is trying to back out as well.

Maybe I just saw it coming. That was why I thought it had already happened.
