Topic:  Miami - 8th or 9th? Author Message Andrew Ruck General User Member Since: 12/22/2004 Location: Columbus, OH Post Count: 5,233 Status: Offline     Miami - 8th or 9th?    Posted: 1/29/2013 2:40:46 PM  Does anyone know when the MAC/TV will make up their mind on which game will be on Friday?  I know we have covered this before, but I believe it is STO that has taken each MAC game hostage and they will just pick 1 to air while the rest move to Saturday the 9th?  One would think Kent @ Akron would be the obvious choice. It affects how I set up my work travel schedule whether or not the game is on Friday evening, so I was just wondering if anyone knows when they will finalize it.

I've always argued for Senior Night to be the last home game while classes are still in session.  Gives the best opportunity for a very large, very appreciative crowd.  Then they could have something like a Fan Appreciation Night for a final home game that's played when students are gone.  But it doesn't happen in football.  I cringe when I think of Senior Days that are held during the Black Friday games, with just friends and family in attendance.  Not a great sendoff for the seniors. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I completely agree with your thoughts. All seniors, but particularly THIS group of seniors, deserves that "very large, very appreciative crowd" for Senior Night.  I hope that the OUAD staff does this.

Sounds like it was Coach Christian's decision...he didn't want to have any additional distractions before the Akron game. Understandable, I suppose...

It's been Akron-Kent for years, and for several of those, it's been a true no-brainer. This season, less so -- I think we'd have had a real shot, with Kent being down. I genuinely think the slot went to the winner of our game with Akron, and had we won I bet we'd be on the deuce on Friday. They like crowning champions and using that race to talk up Championship Week -- this gives them the best mathematical bet, even though I hate it. Also, the STO slots on Saturday are noon and 4pm.

I dunno, I kinda like the idea of giving Kent the extra motivation of preventing Akron from winning the regular season title.  Then making Akron watch Ohio on STO to see the Cats win it outright.
