We finally get Toledo on a Saturday and we don't get to go to the game.

Buffalo right out of the chute, we'll find out about our team right away.

Crossovers:

NIU - Buffalo
Toledo - Bowling Green
EMU - Kent State
Ball State - Miami
CMU - Ohio
WMU - Akron

Interesting decision to make the furthest Western team (NIU) and furthest Eastern division team (Buffalo) play. Figured the MAC would try to minimize travel when thinking of crossover games.

Maybe Buffalo is looking forward to playing in the relatively balmy weather of DeKalb. Can you imagine having to play in Buffalo in late November and December with frigid temps and 3+ feet of snow?

I like the schedule. First two games are at home, and a fair amount of time between the last Wednesday game and the first Saturday game which is scheduled for just after Thanksgiving.

Never been so happy to have a game in Dekalb. Actual football! Even though we never seem to beat you guys.

This Saturday's game at Western Michigan wil be on ESPN+. Any alternate ways to watch? (ie. pay TV).

Any updates about Toledo and Eastern Michigan TV?

If you're going to have to pay for ESPN+, you only need a one month subscription.

No one should pay anything to see this game. Unless, of course, you enjoy spending your hard-earned money to watch blood, carnage, and slaughter. I guess there are people who enjoy seeing that. But to spend money on it? I have an annual subscription, but I won’t be witnessing it.

Where’s the 2021 schedule? Did I miss its release?

I saw that Kent State released its 2021 opponents (NIU travels to KentSt), Western did as well (NIU hosts Western).

Where is NIU’s release?

This would be just the conference schedule, home/away, with no dates yet but at least confirmation of cross-overs.

Just checked UB, NIU travels to Buffalo too. So that leaves the East crossover traveling to DeKalb. Would that be BG?

Checked OhioU and MiamiU and they’re both a no-go. So Akron or BG?

OKAY I’ll finish answering my own question, just found confirmation that it is indeed Bowling Green that will visit DeKalb in 2021.

Still, where is the NIU release on this?
