Congrats on your 5-star recruits and $100M facilities, B1G fans. Meanwhile, the MAC is out here playing real football in front of 14 people and a raccoon on a Tuesday night during a blizzard. You ever seen a punter throw a touchdown to a long snapper while the scoreboard's on fire? Didn't think so.

While y'all are busy arguing over which frat-funded dynasty is slightly less fraudulent, Toledo's cooking up a triple-reverse flea flicker in a game that ends 43-42 after six missed PATs and a goalpost gets stolen. That's not football. That's MACtion. You wouldn't survive one quarter in Ypsilanti.

This is the greatest description of MAC football I’ve ever seen. They need to frame this and put in the MAC hall of fame (if that exists).

The MAC hall of fame is tattooed on that raccoon.

I see nothing wrong with this. As long as the raccoon is okay with it.

It was the raccoon’s ideas.

Paid for it with discarded cigarette butts.

As long as the raccoon paid for the tattoos with its own legally earned money, I support this.

I thought they played an annual game for the raccoon. 🦝
