MAC Championship Predictions

[johnnyzip84]

I know it’s tough to watch these other teams playing at the site of recent (and we all know painfully elusive) Zip glory, but I was wondering about Zip fans’ prediction for the MACC. I see CMU is a 3 ½ point favorite probably based in part of the West seeming to have more balance this year, and it’s hard to argue with that. However, I think that OU is playing like one of those “teams of destiny” that might not look pretty but somehow finds a way to score more points than the opponent. I look for McRae to have a solid game and Lasher to make a late game winning FG in a tight contest.I sure wish we were all headed back this year, but I figure it’s time to rally around the conference and put our rivalries aside…..just for one day that is!Ohio 27Central 24

I just hope the Zips are watcing the game and get the fever to go back next year.Right now is when you start the push for the championship next year.Central Michigan 28OU 14

After watching OU's defense manhandle us. And seeing that a good Western Michigan team wasn't able to score much on Central recently, I just can't see many points scored in this one. Central appears to be the better team. And if they play like they played against Western, they could turn it into a blowout.Central-17 OU-10

I'll second that Dr Z!! I'll be very curious as to how many fans both OU and Central bring. With this being the 1st Michigan team in the MACC and OU being down so long (needs a blues riff.....da naa na na naaa), one might expect a pretty big crowd. The weather might hold a few people back, but I recall the weather being a little dicey on the drive back last year as well. I'll definitely be tuning in.

Watching that highlight reel of last years MACC ... oof. It made this season that much harder to take.

[johnnyzip84]

OK, so I was way off on my prediction of OU winning. The QB situation didn't help, but CMU was clearly the much better team as the rest of you suspected Did anyone happen to catch CMU WR Obed Cetoute's major when they showed him up close? He is a native Montrealer like Jabari and Nedd. I think he is even from the same school (Vanier Prep). His major was listed as "French". What a deal!!! Do we let our soccer players from Norway major in Norwegian? It's just a thought.

Not sure Johhnyzip, but I think there are plenty of students in this country majoring in english. Just a though.

[johnnyzip84]

Touche oldzipdt!!! Hey, I think I might want to major in French! Touche, touche, touche!Seriously, good point. If he's studying French literature or preparing to teach French or something along those lines then I should cut him some slack.

I was hoping for the Ohio team. Keep it is state baby.

I bet Frank the tank is still drunkenly driving around Athens, wondering what happened.
