MAC Media Day Off to a Bad Start for Cards

MAC LogoToday is MidAmerican Conference Media Day in Detroit, MI. We should have updates as they come in, and the first one isn’t pleasing to anyone supporting the Cardinal and White.

In the Media Preseason Poll, the Cardinals are picked fifth out of 6 in the MAC West. The MAC website released the poll, and the number of points garnered by each team as well as the championship predictions:

West Division
1. Central Michigan –154 points
2. Western Michigan — 126 points
3. Northern Illinois — 103 points
4. Toledo — 71 points
5. Ball State — 58 points
6. Eastern Michigan — 34 points

East Division
1. Buffalo — 155 points
2. Temple — 144 points
3. Akron — 128 points
4. Ohio — 116 points
5. Bowling Green — 101 points
6. Kent State — 51 points
7. Miami — 33 points

Marathon MAC Championship Game Winner
Central Michigan 18, Western Michigan 4, Buffalo 2, Temple 2

So let me get this straight… BSU goes 14-2 in league play over the last two seasons and then gets voted second to last in their division? Right.

What say you Stan Parrish?

“You have a lot of pride in your program, and we’ve been the MAC West champs and co-champs the past two seasons,” Parrish said. “But people have a tendency to dwell on who you lost and not on what you have back. … But in reality it doesn’t matter a lick. I think this will be a good motivator. (Being picked fifth) will be a good motivator to all of us.”

Cue Mr. Burns…
