RE: Road to Detroit
This road map will give me something to look forward to (at least until next Wednesday).

I am packing my car, warming up the engine, and will soon be heading east to Motown!

Oops, I'd better order tickets first. When do you think the ticket office will put them on sale?

If by some miracle NIU does win the MAC west, it would show just how down the conference is this year.

I'm hoping for the best, and another MAC west title would be great, but I don't think it's in the cards.

Is it really "down this year" or is it the new reality? Because it was down last year too.

WMU looked very tough Tuesday. We'll have to be at the top of our game to beat them. Even that might not be enough.

This is not our year. The focus now should be on player development and evaluating whether all of our injuries were due to bad luck or a weak strength and conditioning program. I we have a problem with strength and conditioning it is time to look for a new assistant coach for that vital function.

Oh, it's really down---usually we sprinkle one or two good teams in....nothing good this year. Here are the conference's out of conference wins of note:

Eastern Michigan: Illinois
Buffalo: Temple
Western Michigan: Georgia State
Toledo: Colorado State and BYU

Here are the other teams that the MAC has beaten:

Tennessee Tech
Rhode Island
Robert Morris
Morgan State
Kennesaw State
Monmouth
Coastal Carolina
Central Connecticut State
Albany
Fordham
Murray State
and, of course.....Illinois State

Tonight on ESPN2: WMU 10- Ohio 0.
Might be better for NIU if Ohio wins.

watching OHIO vs WMU...man the MAC sucks. I thought last years MACC winner was the tallest midget award. Who ever wins the MAC this year will make last years champ look like they belong in the SEC.

Wow that is negative!
To base that assumption on how many games this year?

The play is horrible. Ive watched 20+ games. Not one team is impressive. I can't even think how far to go back to find a former MACC that wouldn't just steamroll the MAC this year.

It’s true.

Ive always watched as many MAC games as I can over the years and this year is filled with 03-puke

No team this year would bat above .500 in any of the stronger MAC years. If Chuck Martin wins the MAC, that says it all about the state of the MAC this year.

WMU’s best win this year is Georgia State and Miami’s is Buffalo. If CMU gets in their best win is against Eastern Michigan. Yeah, the MAC is really bad this year.

Also really just accentuates how bad NIU is this year. All of these subpar teams out in front and NIU is not even in the race.

It's a shame Hammock couldn't get this team on track this year because they're almost giving away the championship in 2019. Timing can mean everything and Carey got very lucky with his.

If we get shallacked by Toledo it won't matter. But if the team somehow finds its grove and runs the table.......conflicted. I know its good but It will feel a little bad.
