Next year is a new era - kind of exciting! I hope it's a positive transition. Go Bobcats!

It will be exciting to see where this thing goes, but I just don't have warm fuzzie feelings right now.

We've played Ball State too frequently as of late, and week 4 is way too late to wait for our first home game.

We could easily be 1-3 after those 4 games, none of those games are gimmes.  Eastern Illinois gave Northern Illinois all they could handle earlier this year, although Eastern loses their QB Jimmy Garoppolo and they just lost their head coach.

Arkley says he's expecting a MAC East game week 1 as well, I'm thinking our West opponents would be Western Michigan & Northern Illinois, as they're the 2 teams we haven't played in the regular season the longest time...

Couple that with the fact that many MAC teams, like Akron, are getting better. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5-7 or 6-6 mark. Maybe, it'll all come together faster and better than we know? Maybe, it won't? The key thing is that we just don't know.

We've expected WMU and NIU for years, but it never happens. MAC loves to give us EMU (which is fine by me!). My money would be on Ball State and Toledo (totally uneducated guess).
