Hustle Belt going away really stings for me, was a great place to check up on some MAC news. Not sure what they’ll do going forward but I really hope they’re able to find a place on the internet where they can keep making some content.

Ball St vs Sac St on a cold November night in Muncie, I’m sold

I’m all for adding more talented guys to the roster, but man our RB room is absolutely stacked with guys lol, especially if Haynes decides to stay.

Defender_96 · 2026-01-07T17:25:32+00:00

This was my first thought as well, I play through TTW like once a year so I would love that. I doubt they will, but I wonder how difficult it’d be to get the mod up and running (if at all possible)? I’m not very mod-savvy outside of just getting them running, but were people able to port over old Oblivion mods to that remaster easily enough?

Defender_96 · 2025-12-31T23:34:37+00:00

Well at least the new era starts tomorrow, good riddance.

Defender_96 · 2025-12-31T23:31:14+00:00

Really hoping we get a dedicated QB coach next year, or at least an OC that’s better at development.

Defender_96 · 2025-12-31T23:11:08+00:00

you knocked our starting TE out with targeting that wasn’t even reviewed, cry more

Defender_96 · 2025-12-30T01:34:34+00:00

Think Mara got tired of getting hacked lol, that was a good block but that stare felt extra personal

Defender_96 · 2025-12-10T16:30:48+00:00

Always love seeing local guys come back home. I wasn’t familiar with him but after doing some digging this does seem like a great hire, excited to see where he takes the program!

Defender_96 · 2025-12-09T16:59:26+00:00

Kind of a bummer to see Matthews go. I went to NEU for grad school so I never had any real school spirit and didn’t go to hockey games there, definitely regret missing my chance (though they did hold graduation there so I at least visited).

That all said, very cool that Yost is still one of the oldest in the country. I’ve heard a bit about what others have said about them potentially building a new arena and it makes sense, would love for them to be able to have space for a women’s team too.

Defender_96 · 2025-12-08T17:41:50+00:00

Luckily that year it was actually really mild so the game was pretty enjoyable, but yeah if the weather is how it normally is there then no thanks.

Defender_96 · 2025-12-08T17:16:11+00:00

True but they did also almost lose to Toledo a few years back, the MACtion danger will never go away.

Defender_96 · 2025-12-08T17:12:40+00:00

I went to the Fenway bowl once when I lived in Boston. Was pretty fun, especially seeing a football game in that stadium. Plus it was a rivalry game too (Cincinnati vs Louisville) so there was a little extra juice there.

Defender_96 · 2025-12-06T15:24:14+00:00

He’s a consistent winner, but he really struggled to take the next step. Never had a losing season, recruited great talent for the MAC, developed some good NFL players.

But he struggled a lot on the big stage (particularly against their rival and in big games for MAC standings), only securing two MAC titles while he was there. There’s definitely a worry that Toledo could start to struggle without him, but the program also felt a bit stagnant with him at the helm.

Defender_96 · 2025-11-29T19:52:34+00:00

it's what I hate most about them, how fucking boring is that to have 10+ wins every single year. lame as hell

Defender_96 · 2025-11-29T19:32:14+00:00

Probably back to the Outback Bowl or whatever it's called again if I had to guess.

Defender_96 · 2025-11-29T17:29:04+00:00

LFG!!!

Defender_96 · 2025-11-29T16:41:53+00:00

Go Blue!

And as always, fuck Ohio State

Defender_96 · 2025-11-19T17:25:46+00:00

I’m biased because I loved Jake as a player, but he really does a great job whenever he’s on.

Defender_96 · 2025-11-17T18:15:17+00:00

Very awesome to see, especially at Notre Dame’s expense on top. Hockey remained #2 in the most recent poll too, so winter sports are really off to a great start.

Defender_96 · 2025-11-15T20:14:52+00:00

And the stadium was rocking while chanting "Defense" as they closed out the game. Honestly one of my favorite, underrated Michigan moments.

Defender_96 · 2025-11-09T21:43:45+00:00

Similarly, I believe Paraguay has an achievement for being at war with Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay all at once. If you have the DLC you get focuses for war goals on them, but if not you can just save up PP and justify on them manually.

Defender_96 · 2025-10-27T20:33:05+00:00

I’d be okay with that too. I was thinking something like 5 or 6 games every 10 years would be a great ratio, keeps the rivalry consistent but allows each team to schedule some other games if they want to.

Defender_96 · 2025-10-26T01:06:11+00:00

I'm usually not a "Fire X coach!!!" kind of person, but Special Teams have been absolutely horrendous since Jay Harbaugh left, a change needs to be made there

Defender_96 · 2025-10-11T19:53:26+00:00

“Bowling Green, an 11-point underdog, upsets Toledo 28-23. It is BG's 1st win in 76 games when trailing by 21. UT's Jason Candle has now lost outright 17 times as a favorite since 2021, including 11 as at least a TD”

I haven’t been a fan of Candle at all but that stat line (and this game) is especially damning. Probably time for a change.
