Marshall was 1-12 from 3 land in the 1st half.

Was this the truck you saw http://m.imgur.com/Xtwy0Cq?If so, Portland Timbers has a guy who cuts a piece of a log off with a chain saw for every goal Portland scores. He then gives that piece to the player who scored the goal after the game. He's kind of their mascot if you will. They hauled the log to Columbus for the game.

We survived.

Toronto wouldn't be bad. I've always wanted to go, but never had a reason to.

That's why I specifically mentioned the cities that I did. If they were to schedule another bowl game up north, I feel the only outdoor facility they would consider is Soldier Field due to the prime market size and the fact Chicago attracts tourism. I included Indy because of its retractable roof facility and its knack for hosting large scale events.

It's a shame there isn't more bowl games in this region. A city like Indy or Chicago could make for a great location. Weather might be a concern Chicago, but Indy has a dome.

Did you see the scare they gave Florida last week? I don't know the teams story, but they certainly didn't look like a 2-9 team.

The MAC has 5 primary bowl tie-ins. It also holds a secondary tie-in to the Pointsetta Bowl if Army isn't eligible, which is the case this year. That ups the MAC guaranteed bowl slots to 6 this year. From there the MAC could sneak in a 7th or perhaps even an 8th (unlikely, but feasible) if a conference like the B1G, SEC, or another conference isn't able to fill all it's bowl slots with bowl eligible teams. This is why we are cheering for as many 5-6 teams as possible to get their 7th loss this week. There are 80 total bowl slots if there are only 80 eligible bowl teams, Akron is guaranteed a spot.
