See I think the small time conferences have their championships tonight, and the conference tournaments earlier than the normal championship week. I think it gives legitimacy to our championships to the casual fan

I agree. They should have scheduled it for this coming Tuesday night or 11 PM on Friday night. 

 

What is your better idea?

What a dick.   I thought it was obvious from my post - last night would have been a good time.  Definitely not on the same day as the BIG10 and SEC Conference championships.  Oh, and no it does not give us legitimacy playing on the same day as the BIGs, it makes us look stupid.  That is why the SBC and the AAC have surpassed the MAC.  Another thing.....play it on the campus of the highest rated school!!!  You might actually have a chance to fill a stadium (like JMU and Tulane did).  For those wondering who makes the decision..

Toledo's heir apparent is heading to Cuse to be their DC. Wow.

Definitely surpsising as I think Fran Brown is probably another bad season away from being fired.

Maybe Kehres is playing chess and trying to insert himself as the top replacement from the inside.

MAC had two 2nd team all Americans. LB Red Murdock of Buffalo and S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.

Very impressive track record for new Toledo Head Coach. Would a guy like this accept the Akron job? On one hand, I could see him taking it because it’s a D1 job, but on the other hand, I could see him not taking it because you are set up to fail. What do you think?

A good coach can be made great by a supportive program. A good coach can be destroyed by a program that doesn't really support their football program in a meaningful way. Anyone want to guess which is Akron and which is Toledo?

 

This guy will do well at Toledo because he is at a premium MAC program. He will be made better than he is now because the people around him will help him get to where he needs to be.
