Why the hell does Eastern think we are their rivals or even give a damn about them?

Toledo is everybody's in the MAC's rival because they wish they were Toledo.

Toledo is the measuring stick for every other MAC program in all sports.

If they think we are their rivals we don't have to like them or reciprocate; however, we should be flattered, not indignant. Besides they are close by and it is a easy road game for Rocket fans to get to.

Since Coach Cullop took over as head coach, the Lady Rockets hold a comfortable margin in the win column over EMU in REGULAR SEASON games. However, in MAC TOURNAMENT games where wins are much more important, EMU owns a 3-0 winning record against Coach Cullop's Lady Rockets.

The preseason pundits had EMU and Ball State fighting it out for the MAC West this year, so even if the Lady Rockets play a lot better than they did against Akron (other than McIntyre who the notable exception at Akron), this game should be a challenge and I always like to see Cha Sweeney play (she is 1 of 4 Toledo Rogers players on the EMU roster).

Don't know about "measuring stick" , but everyone seems to get fired up for UT. BTW, Terry, La Follette is dealing with big snow.
