Good morning, and welcome to hell. Yesterday, a report emerged that Ohio University has initiated and engaged in conversations with the Sun Belt Conference about the possibility of exiting the Mid-American Conference to join the SBC. Before we go in-depth as to why that’s an asinine idea to think, let alone say out loud, let me make my stance on this crystal clear: This is a bad idea. While the MAC has flown the flag over Power 5 opponents for several years, let us pray it does not become the image above the conference's epitaph.   And for the sake of being up front, this piece will be focused primarily through a football lens, because despite the implications a move like this would have on basketball, soccer, softball, and every other sport, football is what is driving these unilaterally shortsighted, selfish, and greedy moves by athletic departments and schools across the college sports landscape. According to the article that initially revealed the news, Ohio is the only named M...

The usually-biennial trip to Western New York has arrived once again for the Ohio softball team. The Bobcats (23-22, 11-8 MAC) have won eight of their last 10 conference contests, including two of their three home games against Western Michigan this past weekend during the program's 50th anniversary celebration at the Ohio Softball Field. Their current position - fifth place in the MAC table - could be bolstered in these three games against ninth-place Buffalo (15-25, 7-11 MAC), but if history tells us anything, it's that one very important variable has yet to play its part in determining the Bobcats' postseason fate.

A video from 2007 featuring then-rookie running back Marshawn Lynch has recently been making the rounds on social media. The clip then exploded when ESPN tweeted it out on Wednesday, allowing many followers to enjoy its humour for the first time. While the video itself is funny enough, there’s a heavy backstory to it that many who weren’t Bills fans at the time might not know. - - -  Willis McGahee was drafted by the Bills in 2003, and from 2004-2006 was the team’s starting running back.   After the 2006 season ended, McGahee sat down for an interview with Penthouse, in which he seemed to suggest the team should move to Canada. The comments did not sit well with fans, who for nearly two decades had to deal with relocation rumours surrounding the team. They despised him for what he said; they burnt posters of him, wrote songs for their YouTube channels, sold “Willis is Trash” t-shirts, and even chipped in for billboards. About two months after (and perhaps because of) the Pent...
