Falcons (3-8) @ Minutemen (0-11) in a battle of MAC giants.

Tuesday, November 25th at 4:30pm on ESPNU.

…I think we all know how this one ends up for us.

In the players' minds I don't think there's much difference between finishing 4-8 vs 3-9 but there is a huge difference between finishing 1-11 vs 0-12. One of these teams will have some motivation to play for.

Dozens is probably being kind.

"Dozens" is counting me throwing it up on the TV, my iPad, my phone, and my computer all at once. Gotta boost MAC TV revenue somehow.

And here I had Midco delete my account so I could use the discount this season, just so their stats DIDN'T show growth, in hopes it pushes the CCHA to a new service.

BG opened -15.5 and it quickly fell to -14, which is still a number I'd hit given BG's inability to consistently move the ball. UMass seems to have just enough talent on offense to put up a couple scores to make this one interesting, and as Beaker mentioned there's some added oomph for them to avoid a winless season.

If I were a betting man, and I’m not, I would probably hit on anything up to and including BG -1.

When Umass totally melted down against Buffalo, it seemed to kill all hope as that was a game they should have NEVER lost. But this is dangerous and I hope we show enough pride to get the dub.

I was grossly mistaken. Good thing I didn't actually put money on this game. May be the worst FBS team in history.

Giving up 14 to end the half is inexcusable and points to a lot of issues the program needs to fix beginning tomorrow.

BG leads 28-14 at halftime. Noticing a distinct lack of guest and 33 on the board as thing are going well, once again.
