I've looked for it when it has been advertised and it didn't show up in the listings, then I found it in the listings and when the time rolled around--4 p.m. today, it was surfing or something. I get Fox Ohio and Fox Cincy and it was listed for both. On Fox Ohio the Tribe game ran 12 innings--through the times slot--and the MAC show wasn't on afterwards.
Anyone actually seen it?
I taped it today, and I'm going to watch it tonight.

Meanwhile, some guys over on Hawktalk saw it.

Tuned in late and had to leave before it was over - but it was a nice PR piece.
Axe..........

I watched it at 5PM on Saturday.

Real vanilla show. All the team previews were done by the SID's at each institution (it appeared to me). Lot's of editing done by either Fox or the MAC because, for example, Luke Clemens didn't even get a mention! So a lot of tape ended up on somebodys floor.

Having said that however, it was a nice way to get an "up close" on all the coaches and Rick Chryst.

Lots of run for Michael Turner and Big Ben, as........I guess........it should be.

KSU got maybe 3 minutes.

Interesting.............everybody in the conference is "poised to improve on last years record" according to each SID........so who the hells going down?

I thought the primary MC, speaking from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was pretty weak. They did one little "time out gafaw" that was embarrasing to the program..............grade it C, no better.
I think its funny that we are all criticizing something that we have never had before. Was it cheesey... sure... was there things that couldve been done better, absolutely. But the fact is, that everything improves with age in the MAC, with exception of that team from NY... just kidding guys. Let it go, let it improve, and say something after next year!
It was on at 12pm Saturday on FS Chicago. It was pretty dull to listen to; basically an infomercial for MAC football. However, it had a plenty of MAC football highlights, and provided us with some exposure we wouldn't otherwise have had, so overall it was a good thing, IMO.

By the way, there have been segments on NIU football on all of the major local news programs in Chicago, including superstation WGN, something I haven't seen in 20 years of following NIU football. Pretty cool! 04-rock
Please God....................................I pray :

Let us be free from this miserable conference.

Oh Please.

If you could actually beat a good BCS program, maybe he would consider it.

You're such a tool.

Sadly, your Herdmates probably agree with me.
Quote:Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
-C.S. Lewis


Interesting quote, Oddball. I always liked C.S. Lewis.

You don't think that Sac guy is a tool?

Are you sure you don't want to rethink that? He really is.

Me too, maybe this one will make someone think...my last tag line obviously didn't. :D
The host of the preview -- Dave Weekley -- is a semi-frequent poster on the Herd boards (wvdave).

I absolutely LOVE this one. Best tagline you've ever had, OB. Really.

Now if we can just get all the the Politically Correct, Nanny-State, Big-Brother libs to read it and think about what they are really doing with their campus speech codes, their hate-crimes laws, seatbelt laws, affirmative action quotas, price controls, income redistribution and all the other good-intentioned-but-does-more-harm-than-good-protect-the-people-from-themselves legislation, you will have truly accomplished something.

I know, I know. I'm probably just not getting it again.

Sadly, you probably think that you do "get it". :rofl:
What do you expect from a hillbilly gomer?

I'm the better-looking one.
I thought the show was outstanding!

I am looking forward to watching it again Thursday night. I posted below the remaining days and times it will be on the tube.

Wish we would have done this years ago. Quality!
