2008 MAC football team previews released

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Sure, it’s only June, but with summer here and spring football all complete, the 2008 college football season is just around the corner. It’s time to start thinking about MAC football for the 2008 season and College Sports Fans has sent us a link to their 2008 college football preview which features all 13 MAC football schools.

The Central Michigan Chippewas will look for their 3rd straight MAC Championship and we can see what the experts think of the Chippewas in the 2008 CMU football preview. The Miami RedHawks faced CMU in the 2008 MAC Championship Game but ended their season 6-7 and did not go bowling. The 2008 Miami RedHawks football preview takes a look at Shane Montgomery’s RedHawks in 2008. Bowling Green and Ball State both represented the MAC in 2007-2008 bowl games, but both were blown out in embarassing fashion. The 2008 Bowling Green football preview looks at the Falcons in ‘08 while the Ball State football preview for 2008 reviews the Cardinals and star QB Nate Davis.

There are plenty of other storylines which will be interesting to follow in the MAC in 2008 including the expected continued improvement of Temple and Buffalo, the difficult early-season schedule for Frank Solich’s Ohio Bobcats, Toledo’s efforts to regain the MAC dominance and more. Check out the 2008 MAC football previews below for more if you are interested.

Ball State falls to Rutgers in International Bowl

Saturday, January 5th, 2008

The prognosticators didn’t give the Ball State Cardinals a chance, and the Cardinals defense did nothing to disprove them. In the second annual International Bowl which pits a MAC team vs. a Big East opponent, the MAC has fallen to 0-2 as Ball State’s defense could not stop Ray Rice and Rutgers today. Rutgers 52-30 win was led by Ray Rice’s 280 rushing yards and Mike Teel’s 303 passing yards.

Fans can find Ball State apparel & merchandise online at MAC fan site VanDelay Sports.
