If you think the MAC is just a brief pit stop until you get that magical call from the Big East or some other BCS conference you might want to reset your expectations. Just ask Temple fans.

That's why so many of us don't like adding FB without BBall. It makes you less "committed" to the MAC. The MAC becomes a marriage of convenience and you end up telling yourself (and everyone else if you're a Temple fan) that you're too good for the MAC, and its just a matter of time until you move on to bigger and better things. Granted, its not ALL Temple fans, there's a few logical ones out there too. But my advice would be to embrace being in the MAC.

FB-only benefits UMass more than it does the MAC, but welcome either way. I like UMass, they have a good band.

My guess is that Buffalo has their sights set on bigger and better things too. And they have actually won the MAC once!
