MAC West, MAC East, POY, Coach of year:

My choices:

MAC East: Buffalo

MAC West: EMU

POY: JT4

Coach of Year: Murphy (runner up pick, UB coach).

Record: 12 - 6 in a very, very well balanced MAC. I don't see any team capable of going 14 - 4 in conference. Why 12 - 6? UNLIKE previous years, we did not suffer any blowout losses, like trailing by 10 or 15 at the half... One expects that a mid-major to suffer losses playing high majors on the road. They can be competitive or they can be blowouts. Our losses were 'good' losses.

What folks don't realize is how good of a job Murphy is doing with Minnie and Jackson. Check Jackson's scoring ave. at his previous school. Ditto Minnie.

Players make a good coach much better and Minnie and Jackson will make our team much, much better than what the so-called experts thought. Unlike Oakland (Nunn) our transfers are good people.
