Men's Basketball - A fight for next year's top job amongst the assistants makes for a bad, bad team. Does Wally have a fifth season in him?

Baseball - Looks good. Schmidt's ball ever been found? Doubt it

Women's Basketball - Courtney Hottie Osborn is the leader of this team. Wow

Field Hockey - In good hands

Softball - You kiddin' me?

Athletic Director Brad Bates has a really, really tough job due to the consolidation of college football and the resulting drain on the mid majors in the MAC. Fans don't want to attend Yager to see us beat the snot out of the Bobcats every year. ESPN wants programming during the week. MAC agrees to play during school week. Basically, stands are empty. Makes for a dull, dull game. On TV, too. But remember: ESPN needs programming and lots of folks want to watch football after work. What to do? I don't know. But I know looking at two MAC schools play their guts out in front of a hundred fans sucks in every fucking way. Not sustainable, methinks. There is no known answer, but this cannot continue or pee wee and high school football will die everywhere but in Florida and Texas. When is the last time an All Pro grew up in Ohio? That's right.
