On a "Final Note," are the authors teasing the current price of eggs or perhaps providing a clue to the future intentions of the Delaware Blue Hens?

Great Read, love Marc Daniels.

Never knew the Horizon league made such an impact in the UCF's trajectory.

Most UCF fans consider the MAC years the Dark Age of UCF athletics. I can see how it was an essential period in our history. The Marshall rivalry was a nice development for a time.

His final notes are always random factoids.

From his Tua article:
"Final note: Orange juice is the top selling juice in the world. Apple and cranberry sit second and third."

From his transfer portal article:
"Final note: Eggnog dates back to the 1770's and was also called Eggflip by the British."

I enjoyed the MAC years. It was a thrill to join a conference with programs like Marshall and Toledo. We quickly found out the MAC played some big time football. Good times for sure. I still watch all the MACTION I can

I have family up in northeast Ohio so I enjoyed the MAC years as well. Well, with one exception - the 2004 season, and specifically the OT loss to Ohio in the Citrus Bowl where Matt Prater (who just finished up his 16th season kicking in the NFL and has been to multiple Pro Bowls) missed an extra point after a TD at the end of OT that would have tied the game. Another side note is that season another future NFL Pro Bowler, WR Brandon Marshall, started 7 games for us that season - at safety.
