We'll beat Akron...there's no way we'll pull a Toledo and lose at EMU...

This conferenence is in for a rude awakening this year.

Central Michigan 5-7? I give Nick credit for going out on a limb and not basing it exclusively on what happened last year like 95% of preseason predictions do.

We won for 5 years and got respect (for the most part) each subsequent year. One losing season and we're back to the drawing board in the predictions game.

I wasn't criticizing Vandelay's prediction in anyway. I simply think it will prove to be wrong based on what I have seen and heard about this team.

How many days left, Freak? 8)

I'm with you. Predictions go out the window on the first snap of the first game. I despise them in general, but I respect Nick because he follows the league 12 months a year and does his research. With improved special teams and downfield passing, I'm expecting a return to the top of the conference.

I agree on all points. Nick does his homework and this is how he feels the MAC will shake out in 2007. We all have predictions. IMO, I don't see Akron getting over .500 this year. They lost Getsy and 4 of their 5 O linemen.

ST's and QB improvment will make or break BG in 2007. I think we all know we can be very good or not, if ST's and the QB play are comparable to last season.

BO,

52 days, 22 nours, and 20 minutes to go!!!

GO FALCONS!!!

Yep, predictions are great message board fodder, but they don't mean squat once the season starts.

Can't wait to see the Falcons get rolling this year!

A-frickin'-Men. The actual season is all that really matters.

Nick used the "old" logo for BG's write-up. I wonder if that means he doesn't like the "new" logo?

I think more than anything else I'm looking for improvement.

That would make the season a sucess in my opinion.

That said, I've already booked a room in New Orleans for the title game.

I think Art Vandelay did the predictions.
