Can’t say I (class of '06) remember that.
BG’s offense was horrible at the goal line. My wife even yelled the guy should be fired.

We want as many MAC bowl eligible teams as possible, right? BG now one win away from a bowl bid with Kent, Toledo, and WMU remaining

It was 1989. We were 2-8-1 and Ohio was 1-9-1. We tied 22-22.
The Akron - Kent State game is for a wagon wheel. My personal favorite version of the song is from the Old Crow Medicine Show

So there was no battle of 0-10 teams?

But I like Darius’ version better.

KU and K-State in the season before Snyder took over we’re 1-7 and 0-8, they played to a 17-17 tie.
But not Dick’s winless Miami vs Ohio tie. That’s what I was referring to.
And Akron makes huge comeback w 21 4th quarter points to beat Kent 31-27.
Yeah, feel bad for my little brother (BSU grad), but agree you want MAC to fill it’s bowl game slots so BG winning is probably a good thing for the conference.

Yes and no. It looks bad if we have relatively few bowl eligible teams but if only our best teams make bowls we are far more likely to have a good winning percentage.
We’ll have 6 just like we always do.
Well, we may very well have a trio or more of mediocre 6-6 teams in bowls this year. (CMU, EMU, BG etc.). None are particularly good teams.
Only three pretty good teams in MAC this year are UT, OU, and Miami.
We were 4-4 last year and 6-6. We battled UAB to the bitter end.
Well done.

I texted this exact same thing last night. Truthfully beyond Miami, Toledo and OU the MAC sucks this year. I have watched several games not involving Miami and these teams blow.
Just Miami and Toledo.
