But if you can look at me with a straight face and tell me 2012 UMass wasn't a pushover, I laugh at thee. Everyone knew it was a pushover going into it (citation: http://mgoblog.com/content/preview-umass-2012) . The fact that it was ONLY 63-13 was cause for consternation around these parts.

Obviously some MAC teams can play. But the suggestion that NO MAC teams are cupcakes is not supported by the facts.

They also agreed to play at EMU and WMU. 

I guess they don't like money. 

You'd catch Brady Hoke wearing red before Dave Brandon would schedule play at some MAC school.

Although I wouldn't mind a game at UMass someday since they play at Gillette and Michigan fans would take that stadium over.

who will FREAK OUT if (for example) Jarrod Wilson isn't bowling with Thomas Gordon.  OMG, WHO'S THE OTHER STARTING SAFETY?  FFFFffffuuuuuuuu!

Great move by the coaches here.

Ok, but if they lose to Notre Dame in a few weeks, you know one of the first things to pop up in the postgame meltdown thread will be this bowling excursion.
