If the current standings stay the same and the MACC is between BG and Toledo, could you live with yourself over the summer if your team lost to your bitter rival?

Only if we advanced our Bowl Game winning streak to 5.

Yes, if we get a weaker bowl opponent, and we avoid getting anyone injured.

It would most likely ruin my year if we lost to BG in the MACC.

Of course I want to beat them, but it isn't the end of the world if we lose. I mean, I could still live with myself.....I would just be mad, upset, and down about it. Of course just a few minutes with my family would have me smiling again.
I am a diehard Rocket fan and everytime Toledo loses I get mad and upset. I guess I would be a little more upset if it was BG, but you have to get over it quick and think about next year. (Man that sounded like a cheesy coach comment)

I might be OK if we win a bowl game and bg embarasses itself against Boston College in the MCB. :)

I don't let myself get all worked up for a year over one game, but I would be disappointed in a loss in the MACC to ANY team.
I think it would be interesting if the game on Nov 22 had some REAL meaning. Like the winner went the MACC and the loser stayed home. Say Buffalo sweeps the Rockets and Falcons, both have one loss heading into the Nov 22 game, same as one other team in their division. Lose, and you've got 2 losses and are out of a MACC bid, and most likely a bowl bid.
Which game is bigger? UT vs BG in the MACC where both teams will likely be bowl-bound, or UT vs BG with the loser getting zip?

If UT lost to BG in the MACC then yes that would suck really bad. If UT won the bowl game it might make things a tad better but my biggest knock against BG for the past few years is that they have no MAC rings.

Losing to BG =

Well, except that Roethlisberger is Roethlisberger, while Harris is only Harris. :)

Yes it would suck if Toledo lost to that team down south in the MAC championship but life goes on. As an Ohio Sports fan we all want Toledo to beat BG in the regular season then hopefully the game we all want to watch happens at Ford Field. If the Mac title is BG/Toledo I am so there.
