We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive. Back to Top L.C.

For example, how many "returning starters" does Ohio have at corner? Two? Four? Five? “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top catfan28 General User Member Since: 6/11/2011 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 1,503 Status: Offline     RE: Under the radar    Posted: 4/21/2013 11:49:38 PM  We've been "the hunted" for a lot of years now (wow, that's weird to say!!)... Nothing wrong with being seen as the underdog...though I think most publications will at least have us top 4 in the MAC. I'm more excited for this season than I was last season - and that's saying a lot!

Something tells me whoever wins the East will have at least 1 or more conference losses.  Ohio-The State University Back to Top perimeterpost General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Post Count: 3,165 Status: Offline     RE: Under the radar    Posted: 4/22/2013 12:52:16 PM  Kent State has a tough schedule, I will be surprised if they are 3-4 after 7 games. They open with an FCS team but then host BG before playing 5 of their next 6 on the road, with the only home game being against NIU. The road games include LSU, Penn State, WMU and Ball State. Not easy. By comparison, KSU's first 7 opponents won 57 games last year, Ohio's first 7 won 32. One advantage Kent State does have is their last game is on11/19, a full week before NIU's and WMU's and 10 days before everyone else's. That's a huge advantage if they make it to Detroit. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

I mean Kudos to them for the coverage, but sad that it is more than many MAC area papers.

And L'ville won 11 of those, so the next six won a total of 21 games. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I'm not sure about there being a fan base (most people down here from the midwest pull for the Ohio States, Penn States and Michigans of the world.) But there are a TON of alumni down here.  When I worked at Disney, my management team of 8 had 5 MAC schools represented and Mount Union to boot.  I believe there is a strong contingent of MAC alumni (Most notably OU) at the Sentinel as well.  There is also a large amount of people down here from the Midwest in general (I've been here 4 years have only met a handfull of people who were born in Florida, let alone Orlando). I do think that the recent success of OUr program coupled with MACtion on ESPN has made more people aware of Ohio and the MAC in general.  When I wear OU gear, it is noticed and comented on a lot more around town.  Never underestimate the power of ruining peoples brackets.

It's true. When I was down in New Orleans there were a lot of people who knew about Solich and OUr program.  You know what Frank Solich likes most about coaching in the MAC? While he gets older, his coaching competition stays the same age, man.

I meant no disrespect to Orlando, I just found it pleasantly surprising that the local paper devotes that much ink to the MAC -- especially with so many Florida football schools.
