Thank you Rockets!

Comments while after watching Rockets and Bobcats:

Anybody else get tired of the "Solichgasms" that ESPN2 crew were having all nite?

Geez, the guy hasn't won anything yet and you'd think Vince Lombardi had descended on Athens.

And yes ESPN, we know the Bobcats beat Pitt.. a lousy Pitt on two DEFENSIVE TD's.

For the record, Amstutz has won numerous MAC titles. And all we get are close-ups of his Santa-like belly and comments about "Hey Tom... what's with the whistle?" and "He's never left the city of Toledo." Schmucks.

I expect if any of us catch the Zips vs OU on ESPNU, we'll not even hear about JD Brookhart... you've heard of him?? The MAC Coach of the Year last season??

Anyway, see if this adds up to you:

Toledo defeats Ohio 30-21 tonite. Bobcats now are 3-3 with games @ Akron and Miami at home. Kittens are TOUGH at home this season. Sure glad they have to come here. They're not as good on the road yet. Kittens will not win the division. But here's hoping they take out Miami.

MAC EAST is now a tie between Akron, BG and Miami. Miami controls their own destiny. Win out and they're champs. Akron holds tie breaker on BG, Miami hold tie breaker on Zips. BG and Miami have yet to play.

IF the Zips take care of business vs BSU, OU and Can't State. AND BG (with Omar at the helm) or Ohio knocks off Miami....

MAC EAST

Akron 6-2

BG 6-2

Miami 5-3

Ohio 3-5

Can't State 0-8

Buffalo 0-8

Miami still has Buffalo, BG and @ Ohio... Go Bulls, Go Falcons, Go Solichkittens. A Bulls win is a long shot but I think BG and OU are in play....especially BG.

(Alot of MACsters out there are saying BG is falling apart and will be lucky to finish .500. I'm not so sure. The Falcons are getting their superstar back soon. IMO, most of the MAC elite teams are only 1 or 2 injuries away from being an average MAC team. Toledo lost Gradkowski for a couple of games and they were stomped by Fresno and look what happened to them after Bruce went down in the MACC Game in '04... Connecticut rolled in the MCB. BG loses Omar and presto -- two home conference losses -- WMU stomps them and Akron wins by ten. Imagine if Miami lost Betts or Nance... Or NIU lost Horvath or Wolfe.)

Well, here's hoping that it comes down to the Turkey Day game vs Can't State!!! cool

Why would we thank OU? They aren't our competition for a bowl slot. Toledo is.

To win the East we have to beat OU anyhow.

If we do make it to the MACC game and lose, it is a very real possibility that Toledo will be picked to go to a bowl game over the Zips. We need Toledo to lose every remaining game on their schedule.

Thanks OU....thanks for nuthin'.

You're welcome. I know what you are saying about the Solichgasms. The OU fans were having them all summer long. :blink:

Good to see a fellow Rocket here!

Yeah, I'm surprised at how much information there is on this site. This is a very nice message board. By the way, sopher, I see that you are still posting on the ncaabbs board. Because of a few recent occurrences, mattsledge has set up a new message board for the MAC and a few fans have already started to migrate over there. The Rocket message board is slowly beginning its move to that board, so you'll want to chack it out. Here's the link for you.

Again, this is a nice board that you guys have here. I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped by.
