"I could not be happier for our students, coaches and fans selected to play in a Conference record eight bowl games," said MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher. "The matchups are exciting and present opportunities for memorable experiences for those involved. I appreciate our bowl partners who work all year to facilitate unique experiences for game participants and fans."

When has that ever mattered?

And to make matters worse for Nevada, their QB, Carson Strong, just declared for the NFL draft and will skip the bowl game. He's leaving two years early because he's expected to go in the first round. Their best receiver, Cole Turner, also has said he would skip the bowl game to prep for the draft.

Saw the last half of the NIU game. The turning point was when NIU went for it on 4th and inches around their 35 and didn't get it. They tried to fool the D by having Lombardi walk away from behind center then do a direct snap to a RB and run it UTM. Didn't really fool anybody. It might've worked if Lombardi had been behind a guard or tackle for blocking purposes but he was out past the TE and was really out of the play. Still, they had a chance to win it at the end but couldn't get their receiver out of bounds after a first down at about the Coastal five with two seconds left and no TOs. For some reason the ref stood over the ball and let the clock run out. Can't imagine that NIU would substitute in that situation.

I saw something like it earlier in the season in a Memphis game. There, the other team substituted with about ten seconds left, the ref stood over the ball as a Memphis player slowly jogged off the field and time ran out. The rules committee should make refs stop the game clock in a situation like that.

Watching the WKU game today. They would've been an interesting addition to the MAC. Coming up on halftime and they're pass/run ratio is 31/8.

Good day for WKU. The football team pounded App St for a bowl win and the b-ball team knocked off L'ville by ten. That part of the country needed something good to happen.

EMU was horrible, losing to Liberty by 36. The MAC is 0-3.

How many games will MAC teams win? I’m guessing 2 maybe Kent and Miami.

Spoiler Alert - no one really cares if there was (or wasn't) a referee mistake (that did not directly take points of the board) in the something bowl played on some day a week or something before Christmas.

No he can comment - but there are few ears to listen - and apparently - according to Billy - his complaint isn't even accurate (shocking I know)

And in reality, as a result of the play-off system, most bowls do not matter - as evident by the players continuing to skip the games. Good for the players and core fans, but very few casual fans can even tell you what bowl games have already taken place and who won what.

simply one indicator. We can talk ratings, difficulty in maintaining sponsors, player opt out, coaches leaving before bowl games, limited payout - often resulting in financial loss for universities, majority of tickets going unsold, even blocks made available to universities, etc. Again, to core fans and players its important (I love its when we make a bowl), but do others really care? Do we really care about the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl (yes it exists)

All this coming from probably the lone BA poster who watched the USC-Upstate v. Converse basketball game last week. . . "gotta get a life".

Indeed - I think 72 of us here in the Carolina's watched the game - 92 if you include the live crowd.

Oh boy! Couple that with OUr 0-4 record vs non-conference including the loss to the Dukes and does that make us 0-8 by association?

And the SEC is 0-3.
