Regardless if the Flashes defeat the Bobcats this Friday, Kent State is in the MAC Championship game. Since so many Flash fans have been waiting so long for this opportunity, I have created a countdown clock for this event (see link).

Countdown

Here is the KSU team report through week twelve (11/17). The Flashes are still leading the MAC in net punting and turnover margin (see link).

Flashes move up from #25 to #23. Northern Illinois is #24 (see link).

Here is a link for all the MAC Championship and Bowl Game information.

KENT STATE FOOTBALL MAC CHAMPIONSHIP & BOWL GAME

I love the way Coach Hazell shows emotion when he addresses his players. I honestly believe if the Flashes go all the way to the MAC Championship Game, it will because of high level of emotion from the coaches and the players. Some of you know I follow Tampa high school football. Below is a video of head coach Jason Stokes of Gaither High School giving an emotional pre-game talk prior to a district game vs. Tampa Bay Tech. The reason Coach Stokes is so emotional is because his team must win to make the playoffs. The speech must have worked because Gaither's team won 35-32 to capture the Class 7A-District 7 championship.

Ranked from 17 to unranked.

Notice how Bowling Green is leading the MAC in six categories (see link). The boys better be ready to play this Saturday at Bowling Green otherwise the Falcons will more than likely take advantage of turnovers and mistakes.

KSU - Team Report

Rutgers guy here. I just wanted to come over, and offer my apologies, regarding all the Polls and their inability to look past what league you play in. Kent State football should be rated in ALL Polls withing the top 25, and definently ahead of Rutgers, who is at 23, or 20 depending at what Poll you look at.

The thing that many writers and Poll voters seem to take into account is, yes the Conference you play in, but also the loss to Kentucky. Which is a horrible team out of the SEC. But, what they fail to note is that this was YOUR WTF game, and should have beaten them easily.

Keep up the great season. Hope for an awesome Bowl game, and maybe we will meet again.

The opening line has the Flashes favored by 19.

Marc, what players are expected to visit KSU on October 20? This will be Homecoming and I expect a nice crowd on hand to watch the Flashes battle against the Western Michigan Broncos.

Western Michigan lost to Ball State in overtime 30-24 (see link). The Flashes defeated the Cardinals 45-43. This week's Homecoming Game against the Broncos should be a great one. Dix Stadium will be rocking for sure.

Go Flashes!!!

... looking forward to our game with you guys next month. Quick question for the board- DOes anyone know if C.J. Brathwaite got in the game last weekend? If not, do you all know if the plan is to redshirt him? Just curious. I work with a relative of his. Thanks in advance fellas. Good luck this season!

Parker is going to make Sportscenter in a way that he will NOT appreciate.
