Saturday was particularly bad. This team was VERY shorthanded with suspensions and injury. Very sad for their kids. Don't know about our players, but Ricky Davis was having a ball, that's for sure.
Playing the MAC schools sounds good to fans, but you play 2 a year, on average, lose at least 1. Now you play nationally ranked 1AA powers #2 #4 #12 and #22 and lose 2 of those. Now we are best case you are 8-3 Now you can't slip up even once against a team like say UNI in the UniDome. And who's to say you win even one against NDSU, SD, and SDSU? Then if you lose even one more and 7-4 and you're out of the playoffs.
We are better off waiting for Akron and Kent and Buffalo to go broke trying to stay Div 1A, and want to drop back and form a new Great Lakes Conference with those 4 teams as a core.
