some actually know about Toledo, but most have the "we are from the BE and Toledo is from the stinky MAC" comeeee on. BC goes down in the MCB. They are talking ###### about Toledo but they dont know anything about us. On top of that....we have total home field advantage. Vegas hasnt set a line yet....but I think we will be 3 point dogs.

I also think Marshall SHOULD be favored over Loserville....Loservilles O-Line sucks too....shouldnt be a problem getting to Ragone...

MAC 2-0 in the postseason! 04-cheers
Here is a quote from a poster on the BC board called MountainBill:

I watched your game with Marshall yesterday. Absolutely no defense on either side of the ball. All that running you guys were doing won't happen against BC. Also, BC can run AND throw the ball. Only advantage I see for Toledo is that you guys already know your way around Detroit.
I think they should re-listen or watch for that matter...the PITT game. Pitt knows that the score is misleading. Pitt could not stop our offense - what makes them think they can. PLUS that was on the road. We are going to Detroit ON turf and 75% of the stadium will be Toledo/MAC fans....

But I like it better this way....I sure hope the players feel the same way... 04-cheers
Kick their butt Toledo.....

Unfortunately yess....for as much as we hate Marshall....they are in the MAC and when it comes to OOC MAC Games, we all root for eachother...yes that even means Marshall.

Iam very confident they can beat Loserville....cant see them stopping Sandwich or Watts or Marriott
I think our offense will do fine against BC. I just wonder if our D in up to the challenge? Like us they are very balanced. They average 160 yds rushing and 222 yds passing per game. Knight has 1,367 yds on the ground and St. Pierre has 2641 through the air. This will be a huge challenge for our D. If we win, this will be a huge win for our program and we can carry the momentum into next season. 04-cheers

I am prepared to hear "baby backs" and "Goddard" in both bowl games, respectively,over and over. Ragone will be a casualty and so will BC's run defense. The MAC mops (hell $25 bucks an hour) up the bowls again. Why doesn't the outside world see that? MAC football whipping the nation one team at a time!

BC is an awfully good football team. Toledo will have their hands full. I just hope that BC does, as well.

GO ROCKETS!!!
BC? As in "Betty Crocker?" Or, VD, as in Vanessa Del Rio? You'll be happy to know that during the MAC Championship game, Traci, banged me louder than the dinner bell on the Ponderosa! Needless to say, I didn't see much of the game, but I hear it was back-and-forth, like me and Traci. Show "Betty" your "Rocket!" LOL!

Did someone say Vanessa?
Numb, she'd flip you like a two-minute steak!
Navy ran for something like 380 yds on BC. That's right, Navy. Then there's WVU, who ran for 273. And they give up an average of 172.0 per game. I think Toledo's line and stable of running backs hould do quite well. I don't know if they'll have the benefit of the turnovers that MU coughed up, but some of those were forced (like the one ripped from Doss's hands).

This is a good matchup for Toledo. St. Pierre isn't the greatest passing QB, certainly not as good as Toledo has seen in the MAC this year, and I think that the UT D should be able to withstand some of BC's rushing. High scoring, maybe, but UT by at least 7.
Hopefully BC will talk a little trash beforehand. And the quote of UT having no defense in the MACC? Pleeeeeze...that was a fairly good Marshall offense they were defending, with plenty of possesions.

One can only hope.
Rocket fans: As I posted on the Miami board, I came away enormously impressed with your team's performance in the MACC. You came from being down 18 points on the road, never wavered in your game plan, and continued to just pound the ball the entire game with some timely passing from time to time. As usual, Leftwich is a big equalizer, and with his speedy receivers the Herd is hard to stop.

All that said: I look for a big Rockets win in the MACC for a variety of reasons. First, BC "looks down" at the MAC and also they are feeling snubbed by what they consider better bowls (which is kinda a laugh since BC does not exactly have a huge cadre of traveling fans!). Their coaches will try to get them ready to play, but it's almost a home game to the Rockets and I think they appreciate representing the conference in a bowl game.

To be honest, I hate to be an optimist (and I'm not known for being one), but I look for a at least a 2 TD margin for Toledo in this game, and am greatly looking forward to watching it. I just hope SE Michigan and UT fans will come out for the game, 'cause I think the BC showing will be very, very weak and thus it'll pretty much fall on Toledo if we're to get a crowd of 30K plus. I hope they do, partly due to the good team they are playing and some interest in folks visiting Ford Field.
Quote:On top of that....we have total home field advantage.

Well that sucks. BC is the only team that can get a "legitimate" win in the MCB.

:D

Is it very hard work being that stupid?

I agree.....after facing Air Findlay - Rod Rutherford - Ryan Schnieder - Jason Thomas - and Byron Sandwich....Pierre is a joke compared to these guys. We have faced so many offensive powerhouses and we just got done playing the #1 offense in the nation....
From BC Board

"Why can't we just turn this ridiculous bowl bid down and admit that we had a disappointing season?

Toledo? Detroit? What do we have to gain?

Just the sight of BC playing in such a Mickey Mouse bowl game against a MAC team is going to hurt me a lot. I'd rather they just called it a year, fired some coaches, and get working on actually having an exciting, successful season in '03."
Boston Herald headline, December 27, 2002:

"(B)etty ©rocker Chokes on Baby-Back-Pocket-Rocket!!!"
What I found somewhat humorous about the BC message board were the posts making fun of how poor the MCB attendance would be.....I politely pointed out that with UT bringing 25K last year and decent support from our opposition (UC last year with 8K fans) we had 44K for the game last year, and once had even a few more when we had a ranked BYU in the game against the Herd. I think the only MCB with poor attendance was the Herd-UC game two years ago, and that was understandable as Marshall had been to the game for 4 straight years, and only was sporting a 6-5 record.

The funny thing about this is that BC is not even notable for having "traveling fans' to that great a degree, and will obviously not send many folks to Detroit (with no basis for fact, I'd guess 3-4K tops), yet they will be quick to deride the bowl game and its lack of attendance. Pretty lame.

Feel free to visit the BC board (the link was posted in another thread here on the game) and "remind" them that the MCB draws quite well when we have a good opponent that has good fans. LOL.

UT will crush the Eagles.........bank on it!
