Pick the MAC week 10
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 11:51 am
I'll get to the standings at some point I'm sure ...
The schedule. This week begins the MAC's wonderful tradition of weeknight games of near empty stands on national TV. It's also our bye week, or as some may say, wife's day / girlfriend's day. Though I've gotten my girlfriend pretty hooked on BG football. About four months ago she probably didn't know what Ay Ziggy Zoomba meant, or that it was anything other than a website where I spend way too much time. Now she can name Chris Jones, Anthon Samuel, Matt Schilz, Shaun Joplin, and BooBoo Gates, and list their numbers. Pretty impressive for a girl who never cared much about football until this year. And I've gotten her to understand the importance of defense, what a sack is, how to draw up a screen play, difference between touchdown touchback and safety, why receivers catch the ball outside of their chest, why you overthrow in the back of the end zone, etc.
Thursday November 1
Eastern Michigan at Ohio, 6:00
Saturday November 3
Miami at Buffalo, noon
Western Michigan at Central Michigan, 1
Akron at Kent State, 2
Massachusetts at Northern Illinois, 3:30
And ... my picks.
Ohio. Thanks that team down south, you've pissed off the Bobcats. Sucks to be EMU.
That team down south. They've realized how good they can be ... when Chris Jones, Dwayne Woods, BooBoo Gates, and company aren't on the other side of their offense.
Central Michigan. Kinda bold pick. I think WMU starts to really tailspin here.
Kent. I'll be interested to see what Akron's offense can do against Kent's D. Akron's D, though ... sucks to be them.
NIU. Bring body bags, please.
Our guys get a much needed week off, and then it's November where championships are won. Time to seal the deal on the MAC East title! GO FALCONS!!
