Although not much about Ohio, Fornelli's preview is an interesting read.  I think he's right about this being a season where the MAC won't sneak up on many teams, but I think there's enough talent and depth in the conference that the MAC should make some noise again this year.  I like the expression "the dark corners of Tuesday and Wednesday nights...."  I'm not sure if only "football hipsters" would find the MAC there, tho.
