MAC Football Thread (2019-beyond)

Post by **brian** » Fri May 15, 2020 11:54 pm

If I ever win the Mega Millions or Powerball I'm definitely gonna give a lot to the CMU athletic department but I'm gonna be a real dick about it and make them name the head coaching position after me or some shit like that.

I don't think I'd be one of those rich diva people but I'd definitely be a diva about that shit.

ESPN's gotta air something and when the MAC draws around a million pairs of eyeballs, everybody wins.

I thought college football was cancelled or postponed until the Spring. Are they actually trying to play? So fucking stupid.

I also think it's stupid for college kids to be out there playing. So, fwiw, I'm boycotting college football for now.

CMU-Ohio season opener tabbed for Wedesday, Nov. 4 on ESPN. I should be about recovered from my post-election hangover around then.

It’s BSF vs Sybian for the MAC title! And as always, fuck Western.

Post by **brian** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 3:37 pm

Did Duff go to BSU too or am I imagining that?

Amazingly similar to the finish of the famous Cal/Stanford game in 1982.

I did. But live closer to Western now.

Did I win? And don't forget Diamond and ZMan! My son was telling me a UB running back ran for something like 400 yards and 8 TDs. Is the guy great, or just playing against a shit team?

It may not surprise you to learn the NCAA drug testing program is just as shambolic as the rest of the organization.

Congrats to Ball U but enjoy it while you can because CMU today just signed a 4-star former ESPN 300 transfer QB from Washington so your Chippewa overlords are coming back for our title.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:08 am

Holy shit, UB was in the AP top 25! Never thought that would be possible. In my day, UB was usually hovering around the bottom 10. OTOH, I see “horn up” is a thing UB fans say, and I can’t get behind that.

Just change it to, “Get horny.”

Ball State starting a "Chirp, chirp" campaign. What the fuck! Dumbest slogan ever.

That's what they get for handing out scholarships to average students. Thanks, Dave!

Central Michigan confirmed they've booked a game against Notre Dame in 2023. That's gonna be crazy.

Frank Solich retires at Ohio with the most wins in MAC history (115).

Post by **brian** » Wed Jul 14, 2021 10:12 am

(That he could keep his job for 16 years despite never winning a conference title is testament to how consistently good they've been.)

GoodKarma · Post by **GoodKarma** » Wed Jul 14, 2021 10:26 am

He was great for the school and great for the conference. Hopefully OU can maintain the standard they've built during his tenure.

FIU's win probability at the end of the 3rd quarter was 97.0 percent.

STOP THE STEAL!

Bowling Green upsetting Minnesota and its fraud coach was the second biggest upset of the last 10 years (30.5 pt underdog). For perspective Michigan was a 21-pt favorite against App St in 2007 in what was considered an earth-shattering upset at the time.

He’ll probably get drafted by the Steelers in like the 4th round and be a beast in The Show.

Short of injury or injustice, CMU pandemic redshirt freshman RB Lew Nichols is going to be the first person in the history of college football to win a “Freshman Of The Year” award for a conference twice.

This time of year fine. But you have to let the HS kids get shine too.

I'v gone to exactly one HS football game in the past 15 years. Just not something I seek out since I don't have kids or friends with kids on team. I think those days of Friday nights for HS, saturday for college and sunday for NFL are long gone.

I think brian got it but I was specifically talking about the slot for the MAC championship game.

Post by **brian** » Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:53 am

(Assuming it gets played), the Sun Bowl will be the first time CMU football has played on an over-the-air network since the 1974 Division II national championship game.
