Counting today's games, by my count home teams hold only a 43-37 edge in MAC play.  It used to be that if a team won a MAC game on the road it was called "stealing."  Not this season.

EDIT:  The edge is actually 44-36.  Here's the breakdown for each team and division:

The Vegas favorite is 6-8 in Bobcat games this year.  So more often than not, the unexpected happened.  Should be a wild ride.

The record of the favorites conference wide is 53-27.

Life on the road


Has taken on a decidedly different meaning in the MAC. It is no longer an excuse....

I like us on the road this year (trip to Stroh looming large). For some reason this team gets focused on the bus and in the hotels. I would like to know what is different in prep and how they travel.....or if this is just an abberation that won't be replicated.

I think @ Stroh will be a war, @ Miami will not be cake either.
