ZachTheZip Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have heard significant chatter from IU fans about the Hoosers trying to get us to play the game at their place this year.There's absolutely no way we can let that happen. We already had Kentucky back out thanks to the screwups in charge of the MAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zips fan Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have a feeling the chatter is just fans not wanting to travel to MAC stadium. I can not believe that there is any truth to this on the administration's side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zips fan Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I don't see any chatter on the IU board about buying out the game. Can you link to the message board where you are seeing this? The only talk I see about the game is there fans predicting a win. The IU schedule is posted with an away game. I don't think they would change anything this late.

skip-zip Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I know nothing about the IU situation. But, there are many instances where a "larger" school schedules a home and home against a "smaller" school, books the first game at their place, and then bails out.

They are the joke of the big ten.Don't forget Purdue, Illinois, and Northwestern. The Big Ten sucks. Any of the teams from the bottom half of their conference could play in the MAC and wouldn't even win it most years(and that's with the Big Ten recruits they get now..give them a few years of MAC recruits...). Yet, if they win six games, you'd better believe they will have a nice bowl game. The BC$ sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, there are many instances where a "larger" school schedules a home and home against a "smaller" school, books the first game at their place, and then bails out.There are instances and it usually involves a Nebraska or LSU greedy to get another home game. Nebraska bailed out on UCF, Southern Miss (Nebraska did go to Hattieburgs, MS a few years later) and Houston. LSU bailed out on Fresno St.Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota type schools have been coming to MAC campuses to play and I haven't seen any of them bail out.

If you honestly believe either Purdue, Illinois and Northwestern wouldn't win the MAC 9 out of 10 years you must have a screw loose. Just look at the MAC's combined record against these teams.

Just look at the MAC's combined record against these teams.You're right and I don't know why someone would say the lower half of the Big 10+1 sucks compared to the MAC. I'll admit Purdue and Indiana haven't fared well as late in a couple of MAC games. But, lifetime is whole another story.Purdue 36-7-1 Indiana 36-6-1Illinois 11-4Northwestern 13-9-1Minnesota 26-3-1That statement about the lower half of Big 10+1 is not even close to being true. The lower half of Big 10+1 is a combined 122-29-3 Vs the MAC. :blink: If, that record indicates sucks. I'd hate to see what record from good old fashion butt kicking looked like.

Zips fan Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 The all-time records are very lopsided but I don't think the bottom of the B10 would be a guaranteed winner in the MAC. The difference between the bottom of the B10 and top of the MAC is very small. Historically, MAC schools played B10 exclusively on the road. Now, the MAC is getting some home games and wins. I don't think Illinois, Indiana, and Northwestern would come in and win all of their games. The road and upsets making winning any conference difficult.

The few victories the MAC has Vs the lower half Big 10+1 teams most have come at the Big 10+1 stadiums.You have Toledo winning at Home and Western Michigan winning a Neutral Site. These are all games played in the last 10 years. I found 1 MAC win at home if you go back over the previous 10 years Vs the Bottom 5 of the Big 10+1The MAC is better then it has been. But, it still not good enough to make that claim of competing Vs the lower half of Big 10+1.Outside of couple of upsets and Indiana lousy team of last year.The MAC has not fared well Vs the bottom half of Big 10+1 home or away.

I remember you! You were the one who's first post was those sweet UA graphics!btw...sorry for starting such a a firestorm. I just have the opinion that schools like Indiana and Purdue would have trouble winning the MAC year in and year out. And 9 out of 10 years? Are you crazy? Someone made a good point about home games. If those teams had to play schools like Akron or CMU AT our place, there's no way they would win the conference 9 times out of 10.It's a moot point. We'll never know. Let's just focus on winning our conference the way it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
