CLEVELAND, Ohio - This may be the defining week for a lot of football teams in the Mid-American Conference who have yet to define themselves. Going into Saturday's games, only the Buffalo Bulls (6-1, 3-0) are bowl eligible, assured of no worse than a.500 season. Western Michigan (5-2, 3-0) can become bowl eligible this week if the Broncos can defeat rival Central Michigan (1-6, 0-3).

Only one other team in the league, Northern Illinois (4-3, 4-0) has a winning record overall. The rest of the MAC, in both divisions, sit at.500 or worse. With most teams having five games to play, a victory this weekend will make a winning season much easier to accomplish, for those who truly are at.500. A loss could put even a.500 season in question. Every team but Central Michigan (1-6, 0-3) in the MAC's West Division already has three wins or more. The real desperation is with the Ohio teams in the MAC East Division. Here's a quick MAC East outlook.

Akron (2-3, 0-2) - The Zips still have a possible make-up game, if scheduled, for cancelled Nebraska, giving them six to play. But if the offense (total 36 points scored in three straight losses) does not get in gear, the season is a big question. And that includes Saturday's game at woeful Kent State (1-6, 0-3). Bowling Green (1-6, 0-3) - The Falcons fired head coach Mike Jinks Sunday, and put the team in the interim hands of defensive coordinator Carl Pelini. Jinks had the Falcons scoring enough points a game (27.3) to win, but the defense was allowing a whopping 47.6 points a game. You figure it out. Buffalo (6-1, 3-0) - Easily the best team in the league to date behind junior quarterback Tyree Jackson, who has not been stellar of late but still continues to win.

If the Bulls can get past Toledo Saturday, there is only one stiff road challenge left this season, Nov. 14 at Ohio University. Kent State (1-6, 0-3) - The Golden Flashes looked decent early under new head coach Sean Lewis.

But as the season wears on Kent has seriously regressed, especially on defense. Kent allows 508 yards and 36.6 points a game. Miami (3-4, 3-1) - The RedHawks MAC wins are over three of the four MAC teams that have yet to register a victory in league play. After Saturday's non-conference road game at Army, Miami plays UB, Ohio University, Northern Illinois and Ball State to truly define their season. Ohio University (3-3, 1-1) - The Bobcats, preseason favorites to win the MAC, still control their destiny but the margin for error is now slim. After BG at home on Saturday there will be a short turnaround to Thursday's home game vs.

Next.second round in EAST B in the seats on Wed so you can take it all in Bulls playing match up zone, better than earlier this season Miller still watching film as per his own tweet no less time Coach from your seat if you must at least show up in support of the women run up & down the court in their shoes & go to class too then type the things you do here 4 losses & you're burying them GET REAL!!! Get off your device, come to the Stroh & cheer, make noise do something Peregrine Posts: 546 Joined: Tue Oct 11, 2005 10:16 pm Location: BG. Freak I think you're right on point.for whatever reason the Zips have been a tough out for BG of late. At their place it will be a fight.

The other game to watch obviously is the Redhawks at home. The crazy thing is that any trip up could cost BG the #1 seed, and two could end up dumping the Falcons to 3rd.that's a scary thought. Obviously Toledo and Eastern Michigan have to play one another again, but getting the top seed requires no trip ups now. Konica minolta di2010 drivers for mac. Not having to face both Toledo and EMU come MAC tournament time is big. I doubt that the #4 seeded team (probably going to be Miami) would be nearly as difficult to beat. This game was hard to watch. So many turnovers, even more worrisome because so many were unforced.

Got to clean it up and execute if we want to keep that number 1 seed. But I can find some positive things from an ugly game. Nice to see Shanique getting some minutes - 5 boards, including 2 offensive, in just 4 minutes! Jasmine Matthews continues her lockdown defense, holding Hedderson to 6-23 shooting.

Is it just me, or Jess Slagle's jumpers in the lane just so darn PRETTY to watch? As an aside, I find it absolutely disgraceful that our dance team is allowed to wear belly button jewelry to the games. So very tacky and so very inappropriate for a school spirit group. In the FMB we weren't even allowed to have earrings.end disgruntled alumnus rant. Chick Posts: 164 Joined: Thu Jul 28, 2011 3:12 pm Location: Columbus, OH.

I'm an older fogy myself, and while I agree with you I also understand that the fashions change with the times. There are plenty of moves which I think are inappropriate, reminding me of the scenes in CSI shows where the police have to go into 'dance' clubs for information. I do give them Kudos for so many of them (and the cheerleaders) singing the Alma Mater at the end of the game, even though I think the song itself is plenty hokey if not outdated.
