Blue & Gold Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for posting that link. Steele's preview is always my personal favorite; I'll have run out and buy a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 VanDelay not quite so high on us - we're picked third in their preview and are the only one so far to have gotten a writeup.http://www.vandelaysports.com/football/mac-preview-2009/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't understand all of the love for Buffalo in these pre-season picks. They won a lot of their games by very close margins last year (Hail Mary against Temple, 4OT against us, 2OT vs. BGSU, OT vs. Army, lost to Can't), including getting an absolute bomb of a performance by Ball St. in the MACC last year, and they lost a very talented 4 year QB with no one proven to back him up this year. I think too many of these publications just look at who won the MACC the previous year and pick them. I think it is going to be a dog fight in the East again with the winner once again going 5-3. I just don't see the luck coming in two straight years (look at all of the luck we had in 2005, it certainly didn't hold the next year either). You really have to be a dominant or lucky team in the absence of a dominant team to win a division. I just don't see that happening for the Bulls again this year.

It's a dog fight. So, picking last year's champ is the safest pick until games are played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
