Honestly, those two teams were two of Solich's best rosters. Put Rourke on the 2016 team as the starting QB and I think we beat WMU. Ah, I see I'm at my reminscing/if only stage of my Bobcats loss grief. What a day at the Convo.....Wow!

If Ohio can win the next two and Buffalo drops its final two games the Bobcats win the East. Ohio just doesn't control its own destiny at this point.

Yeah ... same position they're in as last year after Akron loss "We can still win the East if we beat Buffalo and Akron loses to Kent" Ohio comes out and lays another egg at Buffalo. Hmmmmmm.

It's a complete longshot. .01% to happen. But even with the long odds, Ohio had chance to take care of their end at UB last year ... but went up there and got thumped early and never recovered.

The odds are very slim. And Fiami has to lose to either NIU (highly likely) or BSU (ain't gonna happen). I think in a 3-way tie with Ohio and Buffalo, Fiami would have the edge. The three would all be 1-1 against each other, but Buffalo would drop out based on division record: Ohio and Fiami would be 4-1 vs the East, Buffalo 3-2. That would leave a tie between Ohio and Fiami and Fiami has the tiebreaker. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Would it? It would be pretty much exactly like last year. Ohio took Toledo to the woodshed ... the team that went on to win the MAC title. But Ohio gagged on their way to the East title. Replace Toledo with Buffalo and you'd have 2018. Back to Top Casper71 General User Member Since: 12/1/2006 Post Count: 2,992 Status: Offline     RE: Now 51 years and counting...    Posted: 11/8/2018 4:04:29 PM  I was a student at Ohio U. back in '68. I saw the MAC Champs play and went to the T-bowl. I am thinking unless we go back to being called Ohio U. we will not win another Championship in my lifetime. Needless to say I never thought 14 years ago when FS was hired that 14 years later he could not field ONE team that would win a MACC. Instead we get 7-5 or 8-4 and Toilet Bowl year in and out. Better than the 80s but still leaves me waiting for the whole enchilada!

No, Ohio does not control its own destiny any longer and is now facing an uphill battle. However, this team has NOT been eliminated from anything. If Ohio is eliminated and you want to complain, then do so. But to complain about it before its even a certainty is foolish, because those same people are the first to jump back on the bandwagon if things turn for the better and act like their negativity and pessimism is excusable.
