That would be a fun trip. The MAC has several interesting bowl options. Hopefully next year we get in.

Some pretty good matches here. Is eight bowl games the most ever for the MAC? Hopefully they have a decent showing and can at least go 4-4.

Attended more games than any responsible student should have.

Rockets lose to a mediocre MTSU program. That hefty contract that Jason Candle has sure hasn't paid off much.

MTSU was on their 4th string QB. Toledo’s QB Finn was 18/39 passing today. Candle is now 1-4 in bowl games.

Great day to be a Falcon!

Candle is proof that being a good coordinator does not mean you will be a good HC...his teams seem to underperform each year

NIU also failed to win losing to Coastal Carolina. The Huskies have now lost 7, going back to their Orange Bowl loss to FSU, bowl game in a row....It sounds as if NIU may even be younger on paper than BG.......

They can’t possibly be younger than BG. Young teams can’t compete.
It’s not my point of view, it’s a fact.

UAB didn’t have a team in 2016. Since then 5 bowl games, 5 winning seasons, 2 conference championships and now a win over a top 15 team. I know the comparison isn’t apples to apples. Just tired of excuses and want to see results at BG. Coming up on your 4th year, good results are now mandatory.

Obviously....UAB and Michigan State are doing this the wrong way. The right way takes years and years to finish and involves a lot of losing and complaining about how young your team is.

Boy.. are they gonna be sorry some day

With the MAC now 0-3 in bowl season, please be reminded that Bob Moosbrugger & Scot Loeffler "could have easily won 9 games this season." Don't be alarmed by the poor performance, just understand the kindness of Bob & Scot helped aid other MAC teams to bowl bids, prior to Bowling Green's liftoff to the moon.

Kent State got walloped by Wyoming. MAC could legit go winless. That said NIU got totally screwed, they should have one more play, potentially a game winner from a few yards away.
