I feel the need to bring back these standings as I always found them interesting and quite telling.

Once again, the MAC Basketball Teams will be competing for the Beta Bell Tower Cup by earning a par for a home win or road loss, a birdie for a road win or a bogey for a home loss. Please feel free to correct my math along the way as I tend to drink more as the winter drags on.

There is no MAC East or MAC West in basketball.

Yeah. But the starter wouldn't let more than five out in a group.

Why are these in groups? And, why did you leave out Akron and Western Michigan?

I explained why the are in groups. The starter is a bitter old man. As for Akron and WMU….I’m pretty sure they are there.

The Golden Flashes sink a birdie at the expensive of Miami. Everyone else pars the arduous second hole.

I’d have put the low handicappers in one foursome, the mids in another, and the hackers in the last group. Anybody ***** about not being able to play in a big group can throw their clubs in their trunks and get the hell off my course!

The Zips birdie at the expense of BGSU. Otherwise, its pars across the board on the undulating third.

Ball State jumps to the head of their pack with a birdie at the expense of NIU. EMU sinks one as well and the Redhawks' yips get worse.
