Wednesday night MACtion thread
No need to state how big the NIU-Ball State game is in the MAC West picture (and the national picture to an extent). Nice tribute by the Huskies to wear those uniforms, but they look a little tacky. Great weeknight crowd though.
Meanwhile in Kent, Miami has a 3-0 lead, I believe it's the third we've held all year. Correct me if I'm wrong Redhawk fans (first half against Marshall, first half against CMU, this).

Enjoying the NIU-BSU game....a real shoot out and a nice (and loud) crowd on a chilly (just over 32 degrees) night in DeKalb. Kent up 14-6 over Miami at halftime in the game that doesn't matter.

What's with the pink helmets for Miami?

On most MACtion Wednesday games, there is no atmosphere at all with mostly empty stadiums....nice to see the NIU faithful out in force this Monday night.....makes a big difference in showcasing the league.

Sorry Miami, still can't get into your Jackson Pollack helmets. Love the traditional M you had much more.

Miami is complaining that someone else's uniforms look tacky???
Aside from the U of Maryland, those outfits/helmets your team is wearing this year are the ugliest I have seen, anywhere...

I don't like them either, especially the helmets (which are supposed to resemble 'feathers' or something like that). I definitely prefer the ones from last year and I wish we could've just stuck with simple, classic unis like KSU did with their new Nikes. That being said, I don't think the jerseys themselves are that bad, though I'm not a fan of the 'Miami' on the shoulders.
Either way, our getup is the least of our problems this year. We could wear pink and brown and I wouldn't care if we could put a winning team out on the field again.

Yep, Kent up 21-6 with double the offense, etc. Thanks for the memories, Coach Treadwell.....nice of you to destroy our football program in less than 3 years.

Woot! We're beating my alma mater ... go Golden Flashes!
And, yeah, unless a meteor hits the Golden Flashes bench, Miami aint coming back with that high power, confident passing attack ... that they are desperately wishing that they had just about now.

Just checked out ESPN's bottom 10 rankings…and guess what…there's only 1 MAC team in it!! Woo! I always remember seeing at least 2, 3 and even 4 at times.
WMU and Kent State on the waiting list.

The were metallic red and grey. All kinds of little marks all over them. Kind of symbolic of a shattered season
