With their postseason aspirations on life support, Eastern Michigan (2-7, 1-4 MAC) showed their mettle by playing a whale of a ballgame Saturday afternoon against the reigning MAC champion Ohio Bobcats (5-3, 3-1 MAC)— but the effort was not enough in the end, as the home team came up short by a final score of […]

2025 has proven to be a season where “any given Saturday” is not only true, but expected in the Mid-American Conference. Yet, somehow, some way, the Buffalo Bulls (4-3, 3-0 MAC) just keep on truckin’, standing atop the league table after three very dicey league games. Now, they take that perfect record and put it […]
