I hope Cincy and W Mich plan on bussing some kids up here for the game, because it is getting no play here in Toronto. Absolutely no buzz at all. Did they expect to get fans out to watch two low profile teams with no marquee players, for a game in a different country? Teams from the big conferences would have created some buzz (especcially Michigan....lots of Blue fans here), but not this match-up. Not sure what the organizers were thinking.

I read today that they are offering good lower bowl seats for $5. And that's Canadian! LOL.

I'll be going down to watch, but doesn't look like many others will be....and with a city of 6 million, that's pretty sad.

:flush:

I know nothing of these teams, so I'm tailing a couple UC'ers here, Joepa, Mparris, couple others seem to be on W Michigan plus the points...

I have no idea why they play these toilet bowls after Jan 1.

Like they couldn't squeeze em in back around Dec 22nd or something.

Sickening that these games get played after the BCS bowls really.....but on the other hand, gives me something to wager on and watch :thumbs:

western michigan is a very so so team week to week. They can look good against an FSU team, or look like complete ass vs a central michigan team. I read on the bottom line ESPN that their RB is out for the game, that's no good. Regardless though, Cincy is not a team that generally blows people out. I see them taking it by 4-5 points.

Small plays for kicks on a saturday afternoon.

Cincy was hot towards the end of the year beating some good teams while W. Michigan was inconsistent in a down year for the MAC. Cincy lost by 6 @ Louisville, beat S.Florida by 17, and beat Rutgers by 19 during their final 6 game stretch. All 3 of these teams looked impressive in their bowl victories and thus far the MAC has yet to show up.

They do have a coaching change but the one thing I have noticed so far in this years bowl games is that the kids are showing up to play for the interim coaches.

Gotta go with Cincy @ -7 in what could be a blowout.

Just got back....I got their late, and Cincy was already up 14-0.....then I had to watch as they blew the lead. Fun time though....better atmosphere than I thought their was going to be. That one hit on the Cincy Tight End was awesome...
