Another disappointing day in MAC media circles.
It’s been a while since I interacted with their crew, but always enjoyed their efforts.
15 years is a long time to be in one place in the sports media industry. Unfortunately, we have been told our time at SB Nation is coming to an end.

Thank you so much for following us, and please read our statement below:

Tomorrow is National Miners Day, which probably isn’t a big deal in your family, but it is in mine and I’m working tomorrow so we’re doing this tonight

The Labor Department barely acknowledges WHY December 6 is set aside, so I’m going to turn the mic over to my mom for a minute

Now watching AJ Ouelette (pictured) vs Nathan Rourke in the CFL West Final.
At least one Bobcat playing for the Grey Cup!

Ahhhh, October. When a man’s thoughts turn to The Diff

No Pudge.
No Pumpkin.
But we do have BG at Ohio today in sun drenched Athens

Parker Navarro ain’t done yet

Bobcats hanging tough in Columbus.
Disappointed Navarro was injured, which took any chance of this being interesting off the table.
Still encouraging for OU, if they can come out of it relatively healthy

Ahhhh, that had no business being close, but new coach Brian Smith (who I acknowledge as my tribal chief) gets a big win in his first at Frank Solich Field

"west virginia has never won in athens ohio" is objectively funny

Shoutout to Dave Abram, who called out hours before kickoff that he thought Ohio was going to win in comfortable fashion. Bobcats can still screw it up, but decidedly won the 1H

Mascots avoid violence. Good.

We’re at 2005 (Pitt) levels of fans jammed into a 100-year old stadium today in Athens. Even I (put upon sigh) had to park at the Fairgrounds today

View from my seat today. Not the fifth floor, but not too shabby. Ran into Ohio head coach Brian Smith up on 5; remarkably chill.

Anticipated sellout in Peden for OU vs WVU; I had to come check it out. Tailgating did NOT disappoint. Kick at 4

Former Hocking Hawk? Wow
✍️ Hawaii kicker Kansei Matsuzawa taught himself football and English over YouTube.

But his story is more than that. An aimless kid in Tokyo, a dream found and parents who would do anything for their son.

“I had nothing. I didn’t like my life.”

Meet Kansei Matsuzawa, this college football season’s first awesome underdog story
The season's first walk-off hero pursued a journey that spanned years, continents, parks and steakhouses to realize an unshakable dream.

@davidjroth.bsky.social I’m under no illusion that the ‘thank you’ (Defector subs) email was for me directly, but it was still enough to take the edge off a long day. Thanks!
Proud supporter of good blogs, now and forever, and happy to do my small part to keep your crew chugging along

Good reminder for all Bobcats. Other props? Perhaps a $1 for every game between MAC titles. Or, some variation of 1804. Lots of possibilities!
since I'm once again unable to on account of fighting for press freedoms please consider making a donation here today on my behalf. may I suggest Ohio University $19.68? or perhaps $38.03? or any amount you wish, any school you wish. or ignore me and give on your own behalf! either way, please give!
