Or maybe going to the SEC helped their recruiting a little bit. Nah..

Didn't say that's why they are no longer a laughing stock. They are no longer a laughingstock because they are playing better football. The points I made are just evidence of not being a joke anymore, not the reasons why. I agree with what you said.

The MAC isn't so much of a laughing stock anymore. Looking like two straight years of BCS bids, and 7 bowl eligible teams two straight years. Multiple teams got votes throughout the year. We aren't that far off from where the MWC was a couple years ago when they were considered the cream of the non-AQ crop and deserving of am automatic BCS bid over the Big East. Gotta keep the momentum up, an NIU bowl win will do a lot for the perception of the conference. Funny how standing pat through the realignment chaos worked out.

Nothing will get you a warm welcome like ripping on our school with your first post.

What ever happened to newzipsfan? I suspect she is thrilled

Huh?

i second this

Whether you play them in conference or out of conference, the strength of schedule is the same. It's a formula. OSU hampers themselves by not scheduling teams but no one should get an "extra" bump on top of the bump that your RPI gets when you play them.

Must have been a pretty dull minute between the first 32 and those last 7

lol'd at the option joke. also the last two years had teams with 6-7 records in bowl games so the meister has a point

It'll be a nice revenge storyline for UM. They will slaughter them

And I think our soccer team has great coaches as well. Surely not "idiots." I think they deserve some more respect after a very good season.

Surprised you aren't a D-1 soccer coach. Heaven forbid someone question a move KD makes..

I would consider winning one of those three to be a success

And tree is back. Rejoice

I'd think that KD wouldn't let him back in right away. You quit on your team, there are consequences regardless of who you are. I'd imagine his message is similar here.

1.) Both. Before we would have been the Miami/UMass of the league. Now we are beating them. Next step is to beat the Ohio/Buffalos of the league. 2.) Should be 6 wins, especially if we can avoid NIU on the schedule. Every MAC game but them is winnable. 3.) Winners win 4.) Defense, and I think so. TB will have the offense clicking again soon enough, if the D drops off a little bit with the departures of D-linemen, I think the improved offense will make up for it. I'm with GP1, 6~ wins next year, and competing for conference titles after that.

Tree at practice but not in uniform per GT

We don't even have to venture off topic to prove he can develop a big man. Have you seen Tree since his first year?

Toledo looks defeated. I'm feeling a let down game.

Methinks KD suspended him for whatever he did at the end of the last game and Tree wasn't a fan. Hopefully he wises up

We're effed without tree

"Stagnating" for a year isn't going to hurt us. I want to see big wins now, but if we have our "normal" 20+ win season and MAC championship, we aren't taking any steps back as far as recruits, and future seasons. Still, we're three games deep. Kind of premature for this conversation.

Maybe the bad teams will lose and the good teams will win, regardless. The good teams beat the bad teams, so they have better records. I know it's no crazy, fun conspiracy, but..

I guess I'm not seeing how being a late bloomer makes you lucky
