OverThePylon

Wanted to welcome you all to the BSU blog OverThePylon. Our gameday countdown post will go live in a few hours, but in case you were curious about Coach Parrish's weekly teleconference, our BSU football podcast, or wanted to stop in during the game for our Liveblog and streaming, feel free to check us out. Any BSU fan that thinks this is going to be some giant blow out isn't paying attention. I'm very nervous about this game. http://overthepylon.net

Wanted to share with all of you guys the great news regarding our conference's participation in the National BlogPoll hosted by CBS Sports.Currently, the MAC has 3 representatives, FalconBlog, Red and Black Attack and us at Over The Pylon. OTP and RaBA are two new entrants this season. I'm working on getting Rasor in for next year, and he'll be in our MAC Blogger Roundtable this fall.I know there is a ton of spam right now about various MAC related sites, etc. but I hope you guys check out the sites that matter and visit those that are giving the MAC and the teams within it some love as well as providing the conference with a well laid out, pleasant, well written experience compared to some others.For OTP, you can check out our current Top 25 and the preview links by visiting here..

Wanted to share our preseason poll reveal we're doing, as well as our commentary on Greg McMackin from Hawaii's comments at yesterday's media days. Would love to see some Akron fans sound off in the comments about our poll selections and what you think these teams' chances are for success this season!OTP

Morning Zip fans...I wanted to pass on the link to our totally redesigned website covering Ball State but also the MAC in general. We have a ton of new features and cool little things, and hope you guys can check it out, subscribe, etc. We're only a few weeks away from the football season and I cannot wait!!OverThePylon

Wanted to pass on our most recent post regarding the revenues made by each of the MAC schools in football. Shocking to say the least in terms of the leader as well as the spread.There's some SEC stuff on there too, since we cover Kentucky, and holy cow is there a difference between bcs and non-bcs.MAC Financial Stuff

Getting old is a state of mind. Drinking usually helps get your mind right especially in the early am.In case anyone wants the entire MAC National tv games, they're viewable here: http://overthepylon.blogspot.com/2009/06/m...on-in-fall.html

I hope Akron doesn't jump ship, but if you guys are successful, then it's bound to happen. I would love to see the MAC really commit to making itself membership-worthy.
