I think this brings the number of teams who some media personage has picked to be in the MACC to seven.
6:00 p.m. tomorrow when KSU kicks off the MAC football season can't come fast enough to end all this pre-season idiocy. I saw one guy who was not only predicting who was going to be in every bowl game, he was predicting the score of the game.
Man, I thought I would be laughed off this board for picking EMU at .500 or better in the MAC, but to pick UB to win the East? That is REALLY out of the box thinking.
As far as EMU, there is unbelievable optimism for a team which won 2 games.
EMU got rid of Karcher. Brought in Stan Parrish to run the offense and groom Tyler Benz. All words out of Ypsi is that Benz is looking really good.
English will handle the defense. It is almost like two teams with two HCs. Last year the play calling was a mess with English, OC Karcher and 'Running game coordinator" Anderson.
RBs are very good and very deep.
On defense the DBs are very good and deep.
Depth is much, much better throughout. EMU expects to do major redshirting this year even though the frosh have talent.
This team will start ZERO seniors on offense, which will be the strength of the team.
EMU should be a dark horse team to 'over achieve' this year.
Yes, I drink decaf coffee and I haven't been twerked by Ms. Cyrus.
I have no reason to be unduly optimistic or lose my head other than what I've been hearing from Ypsi.
