I would like to thank Coach Bret Bielema and the University of Arkansas for playing The University of Toledo football program, and allowing it to perform on a national stage (SEC Network).

They choose to play a Rocket team that could, and did, defeat them, where many schools choose less talented opponents to fill their schedules with easy wins. He does not pad his schedule with "cupcake" teams. Such as, Eastern Michigan that won it's first nonconference road game in 27 years at Wyoming this past weekend. Coach B should be championed, not laughed at for not taking the easy way out.

Many of those that are doing the laughing, in a backhanded way, continue to see Toledo as an inferior football program because of the small connotation the MAC has nationally and even locally. So if you hear someone making fun of Coach B, they are also making fun of The University of Toledo football program.

Once again, thank you Coach B and the Hawgs for the opportunity!!!!!!

You forgot to thank them for the $1,000,000.00

The PIG10 wont play us anymore. Thank goodness the SEC still gives us a game.

Agreed. The opportunity, exposure and money are all great for UT. I wish we coold schedule more P5 teams, even a one-off game like Arkansas. Too bad the BigTen keeps ducking us, but it's becoming easy to see why. :-)
