Uh, you'd rather we were Independent or in Conference USA?

Some very positive comments about the MAC. The article suggests it was MTSU staying put that ruined WKU's attempt to get in on the MACtion. 'CAROUSEL OF MADNESS': How WKU ended up staying in C-USA and what's ahead for the Hilltoppers JARED MacDONALD jmacdonald@bgdailynews.com Western Kentucky's conference home is set – for now. After discussions in the Mid-American Conference of possible expansion that would have included the Hilltoppers, the MAC informed WKU on Wednesday it would remain at its current 12 members. It means WKU will stay in a new-look Conference USA that lost nine of its current members and added four new ones starting in 2023. "I know that there's certainly some uncertainty among our fans with how much Conference USA has changed and I know a lot of them – I could tell – became increasingly excited about the opportunity to join the MAC, as were we, but this is just one chapter in the book. It's not the final chapter in the book. There will be a lot of great reading ahead," WKU director of athletics Todd Stewart said in an interview with the Daily News. "Stay with us and there will be a lot of exciting times coming up." https://www.bgdailynews.com/sports/wku/carousel-of-madness-how-wku-ended-up-staying-in-c-usa-and-whats-ahead-for/article_b527e8be-60bf-5233-adcf-17e647f9d68e.html

Oh yeah I could definitely see some designed plays like that. Drives the defense nuts and helps cover for a line that's, well, less than stellar. Also I liked how the tv guys noticed Gibson keeping his eyes downfield. This kid is has great poise and the toughness you want to see from your QB. The guys on the sideline looked inspired too.

Love that stat for sure. But I'd argue the line did a decent job in pass protection, Gibson just holds the ball too long. Maybe nobody's getting separation? You can't see the entire field on tv. so who knows. But our passing game has to be quicker or else Gibson is going to need life insurance.

Tonight was indeed, the quintessential Akron night.

We almost won.

Gibson back to holding the ball way too long.

I can't believe we were one first down away from icing this game. Now we pray their DB's are as awful as ours.....

Nope. Great pass and like they said, just a poor angle by the defender.

That should have been an INT. Gotta see the replay but that pass looked lazy as hell.

Oh man, big first down pass....now they can run us to death.

Even I saw that hold hahaha "That was costly..." 2nd and 20

Lots of time left....

Damn 3rd and 9. We needed that 1st down to end this.... Come on guys!!!

What do ya say...run out the clock and FG?

This offense got wheels!!!!! Beautiful pass by Gibson

Big 3rd and 10....LETS GO DEFENSE

Gosh our run defense is uh...something else.

Annnnd we miss the PAT. #akron

OMG what an INT!!!!!!! #3 Morton steps in front of a linedrive pass wooohoooooooooo

TD AKRON Gibson to Mumpfield, there's that chemistry.

Nice pass!!! ANOTHER AKRON FIRST DOWN AND YET ANOTHER AKRON FIRST DOWN

4th and 5..........

Offense is showing some chemistry with Gibson and co. We got a game 🙂

I wholeheartedly admit I threw some objects around my kitchen at the end of b-ball haha. Here I just wanna see us make some good plays...show some improvement.
