Looking forward to our new QB dismantling the Sacramento State defense at Infocision Stadium.

It's a good move for NDSU. They think they are better than whatever level FCS will be after the G5 conferences separate from P4, and they are probably right. Montana,MT State, SD and South Dakota St need to do the same thing if they believe they are up for it.

Is anyone up on how much Groce relies on analytics? Just curious as it is a huge strength in the College of Business.

It takes two to tango. My assumption is NDSU preferred to stay in FCS over joining the MAC. It wasn't until the MWC had availability that they thought it was worth their while. Even a watered down MWC is still vastly better than the MAC.

Whatever. That's one less but game we have to play. We go there once every 2-3 years, big whoop. Sucks for them to come out here 4x a year but that's their issue

If the ADs at Ball State and Sac State are smart, they strike a deal with Manscaped to sponsor their matchups.

I know it wasn't an either/or but I'd rather NDSU than Sac State. Maybe that's just me but the same rationale against NDSU joining applies here too. Just to an even more outrageous degree.

This is worse than the MWC bringing in Grand Canyon. These moves don't always have good outcomes. Cal and Stanford have only made the ACC worse. The on field competition is worse. Big 10 adding OR WA USC and UCLA makes sense because they result in annual increased revenue and attractive names. These names result in more TV viewers. More TV viewers result in more advertising money. Most importantly, the quality of product is now the best in the country. In the truck stop if life, the MAC is now the lot lizard trolling from truck to truck hoping to scrape up enough cash to buy a pack of Slim Jims and a bottle of Mountain Dew for dinner.

The driver from SF to Sac is not easy. I guess it's also close to the least desirable places around Lake Tahoe as well.

So we get 18 mill now and then sac state has to pay an exit fee to leave. Sounds like big enough money

This is a bad decision. Does anyone really believe Sac State wants to be in the MAC beyond a few years? The money is not worth the continued degradation of the MAC rep. We only gets teams that are desperate and we whore out to them. They then leave. Find a new commissioner, set an identity that you can build on and attract new blood that will benefit the conference, not drag it down. Think WKU, JMU, Marshall. If we were to lose OU and Miami, as the rumor has it, we are toast. Akron also has to think of its future. If the MAC goes thru major turmoil we need to make ourselves attractive to another conference. The continued improvement in football is the key.

Somehow need UMass to be the 4th, 5th, or 8th seed to get onto the Sweaters side of the bracket. Or... Miami drops 2 to any combination of UMass/BG/Toledo/Ohio (I don't see them losing otherwise) and Akron wins out to take the 1 seed. Separation is occurring between Buffalo and the rest of the field for the 8th seed. The tournament field might be set here soon if Balls, Central, Northern, and Eastern don't find some magic.

I can’t wait for the 10:30pm kickoff on a Tuesday night on ESPN+.

I guess that the MAC Brass/ESPN saw some of the post here about joking about the 'MAC After Dark!' If true, I am Totally against this move. Especially if there if it is NOT All Sports and NO Travel Partner.... EDIT: This is not Hawai'i in the WAC days at 11PM Eastern at home playing in the WAC 'Saturday Night Shootout!' At least they had the excuse of playing on a Island 2000 Miles off the Mainland and we(If awake) saw the Game at 11Pm Eastern....

Not a thing on the MAC Web site about it.

No, but it's close to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe which were nice when I was there.

Since they are football only it won't have much affect on schedules since you don't play everyone anyway. And now the MAC is really big time because just like the B1G and ACC, the reach is literally across the entire country.

👀🔥🔥🔥

Kansas St lost again. To #3 Houston. Nate played the entire game. 12 pts 10 boards. 2 other starters played 40 and 39 minutes.

Official. Sac State joining the MAC.

I watched the replay 5 times and it was a reaction jab that was no where near hitting the other player. Difficult to call it a punch but I guess it was techically a punch out of anger that was about 5 feet from striking the player. Again, watching the video 5 times it was clear but in real time nobody would call that a punch.

It was a solidly entertaining game. Mrs. Zipster even thought so on Valentine's Day.

Yale’s Celiscar hits free throws with .5 seconds in OT to win at Harvard. Nick Townsend left the game with an injury at some point. Didn’t see it or him in the second half.
