clodney Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 If BGSU manages to pull out the win tonight then our game Saturday suddenly becomes exciting as it's for a chance to go to Detroit. There's also a pretty good chance Rourke doesn't play or plays injured so that oughta give the Falcons a shot at pulling the upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The game Saturday is exciting no matter the outcome tonight. A win will make us bowl eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Bowling Green is now screwing us too. I assumed they disliked Ohio more, but maybe they just want to keep the East Title in Ohio. The Ohio backup is gaining confidence and BG looks like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they won and Kent State won they would have gone to Detroit. So you think they were tanking to to keep the East title away from UB?

Fortunately for the MAC, the better team won this game and now the tiebreaker scenarios won’t be the focus. Ohio is deserving of the MAC East title. In all reality, BGSU isn’t very good and had no business winning the East on account of being outscored 116-27 in their 3 losses vs UB, Kent and Ohio.

BRJACR75 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I always felt this game was a long shot to begin with of the three Ohio had left to possibly lose. Yet another home MACtion game for Ohio were the visitor looks like absolute crap and forgot how to play football. Even with a flash of life.....that place manages to just suck it right back out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully our guys want to extend their season and actually show up Saturday. If there is going to be a big rush to the portal, they may just tank it.

promotherobot Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 So what happens now? If we beat Kent State we are bowl eligible and that's that? But if we lose does Akron come to Buffalo for a make up game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I would think that if there's going to be a rush to the portal, they'd want to play really well so that they increased their chances of moving to a P5 team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clodney Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just now, skrabukes said: 1pm on a Friday afternoon? I guess they want no one attending. UB and the MAC don't care about the fans, they care about the money. Hence the god awful decision to continue midweek Maction games. They're only playing this game because the vultures want the Bowl Revenue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRJACR75 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Im curious how everybody else feels about the prospect of still playing the Akron game. Now that Detroit is off the table, next would be the 6th win for Bowl eligibility, but its not like UB hasnt had plenty of opportunity to get that done. Lose in Ohio, Blow the CMU game, now this Kent game Saturday, if they cant win 1 of 3, Im not sure they should even deserve a chance with Akron. I just think its a bad look all the way around. and God forbid if the game ends up happening, and Akron wins........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Yet, if we finish 7-5, it will have been a pretty good turnaround after last season. I just wish it would have been more like 9-3 and a real good turnaround after last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
