RE: Rockets vying for MAC title
Seems to me Coach K is a little too focused on that Championship Banner. The focus should be on team and individual performance. When the coaches, players and team members are focused on playing their very best every game then the titles and banners will come as they will.

I say good for him. This team had precious little to play for. When the MAC takes that away you want a guy who recognizes that the team is deserving.

RE: Rockets vying for MAC title
I hope many of us travel to EMU to support these young men. They had nothing to do with our former coach and leading scorer that created this mess.

They have played hard and have performed in the classroom as well. The MAC has "piled on" as others have mentioned.

No matter how the season ends they are champions.

How can you be too focused on a championship banner?

Quote:Seems to me Coach K is a little too focused on that Championship Banner.

A university spokesperson said Toledo would honor bonus agreements in Kowalczyk’s contract and pay the coach $14,000 if Toledo (14-13, 9-6) wins the division.

I guess I can empathize.

Quote:Steinbrecher’s statement read: “Following Mid-American Conference policy, any program declared ineligible by the NCAA for postseason is also ineligible for a conference regular season championship [overall and/or division] and conference postseason tournament.”

The MAC did not make media members aware of that policy when the media picked Toledo in the preseason to win the West.

Bush league.

RE: Rockets vying for MAC title
FWIW, the MAC office with their negative stance on UT being able to claim a west division crown, kind of makes you wonder...
My point is that there may be a lot of behind the scenes rumblings with all the conference realignments going on, UT may or may not be a part of all this... If Toledo is in fact having secret talks about leaving the MAC I'm sure this would not sit well with the league office... We can only hope, because the MAC has done us no favors as of late...

RE: Rockets vying for MAC title
This is an absolute joke. "ineligible" to be division or league regular season champ? Just how the F#@& is that even possible. They either won the damn games or they didn't. The opponents'
wins and losses vs. Toledo count. Is this some sort of double secret probation, a Houdini trick, or what? Do all the opponents get to claim they won, even though they didn't? Seriously, Commissioner...get some sense and use it.

This is why we should put one up if we win it. Just to tell the MAC F-U

No surprise here: Toledo has heard from league office about Kowalczyk's pointed comments on MAC commissioner Steinbrecher.

Maybe it would be good if Commissioner Steinbrecher heard from us. But, it seems that he doesn't have a phone or an e-mail.

Agree.

Better be careful though, we'll find ourselves playing all of our football games starting at 8:00 PM during the middle of the week in November...

Oh wait, we already are...

RE: Rockets vying for MAC title
Given the email naming convention used for the rest of the MAC staff I say try this:

JSteinbrecher@mac-sports.com

I've sent him an email at this address, liberally quoting Karl... :muttering:

So far the email hasn't bounced back.
