Silly Season (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12), football scheduling, spring schedule.

This is an annual occurrence....some team in the MAC messes its scheduling up, and then comes begging for help, and the dominoes fall across the conference.

This year, it was Miami, who scheduled a 13th game. I do not understand how this happens, I just don't. I can find you a first grader who can differentiate 12 from 13. I just think this makes us look like idiots. Maybe the new commissioner can hold a training seminar by watching Sesame Street.

I'm sure it is more complicated than I think. At least, I hope it is.

This year, Miami had to drop Colorado (we actually had this earlier). Colorado is apparently going to play Toledo the week they were supposed to host Boise. So, now the MAC is trying to find an opponent for Boise, and that appears to be BG, according to this story. Needless to say, it would be huge to get Boise in our place, and I am all in favor of it.

Also, here is the spring practice schedule (courtesy AZZ.com). Team Clawson fires everything up on March 27th. Spring game is April 25 @ 2:30. Apparently, plans for a nighttime spring game have been scrapped.
