According to the Orlando Sentinel the MAC has hinted that UCF would get NIU at home and EMU away. And, Marshall on Thanksgiving. How, ironic.

Yuk, my early picks are NIU (W) and UCF (E) for next season. That would mean a re-match in the MACC.

Of course I'm the guy who thought Akron would be tough this year...

Here's the quote:

Quote:"It appears UCF won't have a chance to avenge last week's loss to Toledo in 2003. The Mid-American Conference won't release league football schedules until the turn of the year -- after ABC and ESPN polish off their schedules with the power conferences -- but initial discussions have UCF's crossover games for 2003 against Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois. The Knights would go to Eastern Michigan and host Northern Illinois. In addition, league officials concede UCF's marquee MAC home game against Marshall could come on Thanksgiving weekend."

Not to spoil the party, but it's only a "marquee" game if both teams are very good next year.
UCF needs to be much improved for that to happen and Marshall needs to rebuild, or reload, or hope there's a computer malfunction at the College Board again or whatever it is they do every year...
By that time, my Flashes may have blitzed through both teams and be sitting on top of the East, making the game MOOT!

OK, maybe not.

Looks like a great matchup that one way or the other will have a large impact onthe East winner who gets to go west for the champeenship.

The rumor already out and about had us with Ohio U at home and Buffalo on the road, but I'd be happy to head to Orlando to take a bite out of the Knights again!! I had an awful lot of fun in 2000 in DeKalb!!! :D
