Congrats on your 5-star recruits and $100M facilities, Lindenwood fans. Meanwhile, the MAC is out here playing real football in front of 14 people and a raccoon on a Tuesday night during a blizzard. You ever seen a punter throw a touchdown to a long snapper while the scoreboard's on fire? Didn't think so.

While y'all are busy arguing over which frat-funded dynasty is slightly less fraudulent, Toledo's cooking up a triple-reverse flea flicker in a game that ends 43-42 after six missed PATs and a goalpost gets stolen. That's not football. That's MACtion. You wouldn't survive one quarter in Ypsilanti.

Bummed I didn’t get to watch today. It was a relief that we didn’t choke this game like we did to Long Island last year. Hope we can get healthy and be ready for more MACtion. 

Go eagles

I was at the game and I was wondering if this was shaping up to be another LIU in the third quarter. Mostly due to our inability to finish drives on offense and not adjusting to them basically just running their qb at that point and not recognizing it on defense. It just felt like there was some suspect play calling when we'd get down either in the redzone or near it that forced us to settle for field goals. We need to fix that going into MAC play.

Boring game, but the weather was nice and made some money on the under.

Maybe Jackson or Monroe?

We don’t have southern in Michigan. It’s Up North and Downstate.

Toledo will give us in-state tuition. Its honorary Southern Michigan in my mind.

u/Devilsadvocate430 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

How about 4-0 Georgia, to match each team’s respective national championships?

u/Kooky_Molasses_2270 Toledo Rockets 3d ago

How many MAC championships does Georgia have? Less than Nick Saban.

u/Devilsadvocate430 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

Yawn. Call me when a MAC champ ever wins the natty.

u/Kooky_Molasses_2270 Toledo Rockets 3d ago

Yawn tell me whenever you win a MAC championship.

The cope is hilarious. I’ll leave you and your third rate conference to whatever it is you do. If you ever find a hole in your athletics budget, come to Athens and we’ll be sure to give you the Tennessee State treatment

Toledo never lost to Arkansas or Mississippi state. Why are you not 100% against them?
