The Associated Press Inland district team came out today. That is only the first step toward the selection of all state performers. This young man could only earn 2nd team status on that preliminary team. That reinforces the opinions from those of us who have seen him play. He could not start here.
Now for the MAC. Consider this scenario. Take the three top teams in the MAC and have them play NDSU, Illinois State, and UNI on neutral fields. Would you be willing to bet anything significant that the MAC schools would win at least two of those games?
Now take the 4th to 6th best MAC teams and place them against SDSU, Indiana State, and YSU on a neutral field. Same thing. Would you bet that the MAC would win at least two of those games?
Kent State has been very bad for about 40 of the past 50 seasons. However, during that long span, they have produced many NFL players, including some big stars. So why do you play college football? To have a good team that wins games or to have a breeding ground for individuals to become professionals? I choose the former.
