who cares

Or suspended.

Still can't believe he wasn't ejected.

Yes, especially once you consider his wife's family has a $4.5 billion net worth. That would be like you or I getting fined $1.

The disappointment of Travis' mom having to watch her son still throwing public temper tantrums at 44 years of age is better than any fine.

Slap on the wrist for Steele.

Oh I am not arguing, I was just speculating maybe we were next on that list, with SFA being one getting votes last week that took a loss.

I'm not really surprised. Some voters throw a vote to a mid-major, even if they might not think they're really top 25, just to give a school some recognition that might not otherwise be getting attention. It seems those votes are going to High Point, Navy, and Santa Clara instead. Probably because they think giving Miami votes is already drawing enough attention to the MAC. If I'm to shed my Zippy colored glasses for a minute I can't really argue with Santa Clara. They probably should be ahead of us. High Point I don't think should be, but they're close enough that an argument could at least be made. There is no reason that Navy should be getting votes if we're not. That's the lone outrageous one IMO.

They don't have to travel well. Their high attendance in previous MAC tournaments isn't because Athens County is heading north; a large chunk of their alumni base lives in NEO or at least much closer than NW West Virginia. Path of least resistance is my preference. That being said, Akron vs. Miami OH at 8pm on ESPN2 would garner a lot of national headlines. Amen.

Update: nope

We're winning either way in my hypothetical

I mean if we leave Cleveland with a win over Miami, Ohio, Toledo, or whoever that's entertaining, at least to me. Regardless if it's by 1 point or 20.

Call me crazy but i'm not actually looking to be entertained at the MAC Tournament. It's survive and move on. An Akron/BG final (for example) would be much more fun.

I expect them to have at least 50% of the fans at the final if it's us two. They've been pulling 10K each home game and I am sure they'll show up to Cleveland. Of course it would be an easier path if they lose before Saturday, that would be a very fun day as a fan if it's Akron vs Miami

Not to mention I would expect a good number of Miami fans who rarely or never make the trip to show up. It should be a decent day or two for downtown Cleveland hotels.

Mitch has signed with Pittsburgh!

The general public will be out to see Miami imo

Ohio probably won't travel well. Many Ohio fans simply don't like this team and coaching staff..

Potential for a very well attended MAC tournament this year I think

Akron vs Miami in the final would be the most anticipated MAC game in a few years

I can tell your yearbook has you labeled as "Most Likely to be the Life of the Party."

Ignorant post. It was a beautiful, sunny day. Athens offers outstanding parks and other amenities. Lots of things to do.

Article from CBS Sports on the NCAA tournament. 68 things to know about the conference tournaments and big dance. 49. Akron (24-5): John Groce has Akron zipping along. Akron owns a deep backcourt that can really get it going from 3-point range, and it has switchable forwards like brothers Eric and Evan Mahaffey, who can help snuff out advantages. Akron versus Miami University in the MAC Tournament title game would be insanely interesting.

I wonder if we get a vote or two today. A lot of teams 20-30 lost last week. In a typical year without Miami doing what they are doing, we usually get a little consideration at this point. 15-1 in the conference is pretty damn good
