I was worried Toledo was going to get screwed with a FAU pairing in Boca. Akron is playing in Boise and for a team that draws 3,500 a game that is where they belong.

Not everyone is able to watch a weekday afternoon game as they're working but most everyone can watch a Saturday evening game.

Not everyone is able to watch a weekday afternoon game as they're working but most everyone can watch a Saturday evening game. This is roughly the same slot when we went to the Potato Bowl (late afternoon Saturday before Christmas), and it's a pretty good one. I remember we did some Christmas shopping and caught the game at BW3 afterward.

On an individual basis the Saturday slot at 5:30pm is best. Its nice that the conference is able to grab a week of exposure with 6 bowls from December 19th through Christmas Eve. First bowls for ASU, Georgia Southern. The MAC playing Temple and Boise State. There are going to be fans tuning in for these games.

I think these are pretty good estimates, L.C. The only one I wonder about is NIU v. Boise. If they will still be relying on the third string QB, I think you've got it about right. If, however, that first or second string guy is available by the time the bowl game is played, I'd think the spread would be much closer. Does anyone know the status of these QBs for the bowl game?

Maybe Ohio will kick App. State's rear end. The last time Ohio faced a team appearing in its first ever FBS bowl Ohio won 45-14.

I'll try and we'll see who does better BG -10, we agree Western -6, pretty close Temple -4, pretty far off with the different team favored Boise -5, but I think this depends on how healthy NIU can get Minnesota -3, a different favorite again Appy -6, pretty far off Utah State -6, pretty far off again Last Edited: 12/6/2015 7:41:45 PM by Victory Back to Top Mark Lembright '85 General User Member Since: 8/22/2010 Location: Highland Heights, OH Post Count: 2,460 Status: Offline     RE: The MAC Bowl lineup    Posted: 12/6/2015 7:34:34 PM  Who will be coaching Bowling Green at the GoDaddy.com Bowl?

I think he's listed as Day-to-Day and for Carey, that might mean he's out for the year. In Carey's lexicon, day-to-day could mean anything. The starter, Hare, is still on crutches. He's out.

Looks like Victory and I were about even in the "guess the spreads" game. One we agreed, and on two Vegas was halfway between us: Ohio vs. Appalachian State me -12, Victory -6, Vegas -9 Toledo vs. Temple me Toledo -1, Victory Temple -4, Vegas Temple -1 Bowling Green -10 vs. Georgia Southern we agree, Vegas -8 On two I was closer: Northern Illinois vs. Boise State me -10, Victory -5, Vegas -9 Western Michigan vs. Middle Tennessee me WMU -4, Victory WMU -6, Vegas WMU -3 and on two Victory was closer: Akron vs. Utah State me -14, Victory -6, Vegas -6.5 ) Central Michigan vs. Minnesota me CMU -1, Victory Minn -3, Vegas Minn -6.5 “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top L.C.

The starter, Hare, is still on crutches. He's out. Well, good luck to you. We're thinking our first and second stringers might both be available for the bowl, something that didn't happen very often this year, though the NIU game was the only one where Windham played for a major portion of the game. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,405 Status: Offline     RE: The MAC Bowl lineup    Posted: 12/7/2015 2:24:01 PM  NIU007b wrote: It's either going to be our 3rd-stringer (Graham) or the 5th-stringer (Fiedler).

The starter, Hare, is still on crutches. He's out. Thanks. I think I mixed up which string was which. When I said second string, I guess I meant 3rd string, and when I said third string it looks like I was meaning fifth string. This gets confusing real quick! At any rate, my feelings are that NIU has a fighting chance with Graham and not so much with Fielder. So, here's hoping Graham is a go come game day.

For all the other teams, they talked about players and coaching philosophy and how their season went. For Akron, they mentioned what a good job Bowden was doing and how Akron has a great stadium to play in. That was it. Not one thing about players. Even though ESPN didn't do any Akron games (except on ESPN3), you'd think they'd do enough homework to mention at least ONE player. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
