MDZip Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 I was browsing on the SI Division I basketball conference and teams page and the MAC isn't even listed. There are a few other smaller conferences (Atlantic Sun, Big South, MAAC, Southland) that are also not listed. Wonder what the story is behind that one? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/men/teams/ Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Just more disrespect. I'll post this on the MAC board, if you don't mind, to gauge their reaction and maybe get a big enough response to get SI to change it. Quote
vmd9 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 I wouldn't get too mad about it. The MAC is a joke? is this news to anyone? our conference is as fake as WWF and everything is fixed. People don't take that crap seriously, why would they take the MAC seriously, when there are legit conferences out there and you can watch quality fair games, where the winner isn't predetermined. and BTW SI is only good for the swimsuit issue. Isn't that the reason anyone subscribes to that magazine? Quote
MDZip Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Posted March 29, 2010 I wasn't really that serious, you can find the MAC if you go to the conference link and pick MAC, it's just odd that it isn't on that page. Quote

ZachTheZip Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 If this happened to the Big Ten or the ACC or whatever, their fans wouldn't declare it a non-issue. MAC fans want their teams and their conference to be taken seriously, to not be considered a joke. Well, part of that joke is taking this crap without complaint. Quote
zip37 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Unless one is an ossifer in the military, respect has to be earned, with only 2 schools producing 20+ game winners, what's to respect? Quote
skip-zip Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 We're certainly better than several of the conferences on the list. So, I'm guessing it was an oversight. However, it does tell me that we're easily forgettable. Quote
