With Miami’s sixth win of the season on Nov. 16 against Buffalo, the team earned a spot in a bowl game – or so the RedHawks initially thought.
Three weeks ago, The Athletic reported allegations from former players Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim, both of the Portland Thorns, that head coach Paul Riley had sexually coerced them.
The RedHawks definitely had to fight for it, but a top-quality interception from Sterling Weatherford with just a minute left in the game sealed a 24-17 win for Miami.
Week One of MAC football and Week Five of the college football season is in the books, and there was some real entertainment to be found in the seven games played on Saturday afternoon.
The Victory Bell is the oldest current non-conference rivalry in the country, having first been played in 1888, and is scheduled to run through 2029. If Cincinnati keeps up its current win streak until then, it might be time to retire this game as a yearly event.
Mid-American Conference (MAC) football is finally back and that only means one thing.
I am unbelievably excited for this new Major League Soccer (MLS) season.
It ’s time we accepted that schools outside out of the Power Five (P5) conferences don’t have a chance at winning a national championship, and – with the ever-increasing trend of high-profile players opting out of bowl games in favor of preparing for the NFL – it’s time we made the postseason serious for Group of Five (G5) schools.
For many Asian-Americans in this country, this is yet another addition of fear in a daily life that is often vigilant of racist attacks.
With six rostered players on the two squads playing in this year’s Super Bowl, the Mid-American Conference (MAC) returns the same number of players as in last year’s game. I looked at the recent history of MAC alumni playing in the biggest game in American sports. The only MAC schools to have any connection to Super Bowl-appearing head coaches, whether alumni or coaching experience, are Miami (alma mater of Sean McVay and former home of Sean Payton as an offensive coordinator) and Western Michigan – and Western Michigan’s only claim is briefly having John Harbaugh, a Miami grad, as a running back and outside linebackers coach.
