2013 MAC Football Thread
Now looking like a sure thing Eric Fisher will be the highest drafted MAC player in history. He even had a private workout with the KC Chiefs (first pick overall) in Mount Pleasant yesterday. Would be pretty mind-blowing to have a Chippewa drafted first overall in the NFL Draft.
Re: Deadspin
Picked my best three: I ended up going with the unders on Miami (64.5), CWS (80.5), and NYM (74.5). Also took Pedro Alvarez at 50:1 to lead MLB in homers. Brian, you put any change down on over/unders yet? I did get down on Baltimore under 79.5 at basically even money. Mulling over some other ones....

You gotta hand it to Mitchell Hurwitz. That's either going to be genius or....well, at worst it'll probably still be better than 90 percent of the crap on TV.
