Wednesday, Oct. 8th Games

Tonight there are three MAC games being played, with two of them causing me problems as I try to decide which will be best.  One of the games, which has already started, features Toledo at Ohio - a battle of first place teams from the East and West divisions.  The last time the Bobcats beat the Rockets in back-to-back years was back in 1967 and 1968 (the last year Ohio won the MAC Championship).

The other game pits Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan.  This is the 95th game in the series, with the Chippewas holding a significant lead in the series, 59-29-6.  The Eagles, who have had a series of hard luck games (3 OT losses, and a denied 2-point conversion that would have won the game) have an opportunity to not only keep their bowl hopes alive, but they can prevent CMU from winning the Michigan MAC Trophy outright.

Worthy of a mention is the third game of the night between Kent State and Western Michigan.  The only fun with this game would be to see if the Golden Flashes can ruin Senior Night for the Broncos...
