Although they lost the bowl game, BG had some big plays.

UT is in 3OT w/ Pitt.

He has nothing left to prove at Oklahoma I suppose. (or so the coaches may have told him)

Why do they all post all of their offers on 'formerly Twitter'? Is that meant to raise their profile with other coaches/schools?

After what happened with the UNLV QB, it would be a roll of the dice as to whether the Barry Odom admin would reneg on any NIL money being offered to CJ.

Whether they're flying 1 time zone east as far as UMass or Buffalo 4 times per season versus 1-2 time zones west isn't a big cost difference. They will increase their revenue over the MAC and be done with the Tue.-Wed. games. And they're not giving up much if anything by playing other sports in a more regional league. Not sure if they'll have to move their soccer program out of the MVC.

OTOH, I would imagine schools want to get their new TP players chosen and enrolled for the winter semester to be ready for spring ball. Kind of a rock and hard place dilemma.

Congrats to both. Do we know for sure if Budler is returning next year and exactly the extent of his injury and whether it could linger into the future?

Akron U. 😄 (I give him a pass for not knowing yet to abbreviate University in our case)

AFAIK, women's basketball and volleyball are still required for MAC membership.

Ha... not that the other sports' athletes don't...

Not on my Bingo card. Must have been in the works for a little while. It will be interesting to see who the kitties dredge up and the TP fallout.

Gotta be this for me too. Plus that year or maybe it was 2009 when the Zips were atop the poll, I was at the CAK airport at the same time they were there leaving for a match.

The positive is it's on Saturday afternoon with the temp above freezing and I can drive up in the daylight. Now get off my lawn!

Good to hear. I look forward to seeing the new roster with positions attached to names once the dust settles.

Was it? 😅

Cold, dark weeknight... it's the MACtion way..

I thought there were no more NLI's(?)

Ryan Day may be a available Gus Malzahn is retiring from UCF to become OC at FSU Neal Brown is available.

Could this be the year? 🤔

OK, not a Zips game but I'm going with it.. #24: Dwight Smith Super Bowl XXXVII Highlights | Top 50 Super Bowl Performances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUeXYQojlqw

will be interesting to see how many CMU guys enter the portal with the coaching change.

Given the ongoing budget crunch it seems we could almost skate for a year without hiring a new AD to save some $$ and have the current support staff and acting head run the dept., along with any extra involvement needed from Pres. Nemer who himself has some sports background. The wild card being if JoeMo decided to leave we might have to go for a year with an interim HC and/or make a hire via committee. Not sure if it's realistic but just a thought.
