We used to wonder how these fans of Miami, Ball State, Ohio, Toledo, Bowling Green et al had become so content with their status in a conference no one cared about, vying for championships that no one cared about.
I recall vividly how they used to mock us for thinking that we could become something better, to raise to some national acclaim... at the very least, to become something better than that school up north.
But now, after ten years or so of mediocrity and with that school up north now playing in a real conference, many of you have lost your swagger, not just a little bit, but totally... and you've become what many of you used to loathe... a MAC fan... just a southern-based one now.
Figure there's a whole bunch of MAC fans who used to despise us, smiling big and wide at the knowledge that we've been humbled, our ambition is exhausted, and we're now going to be settling into a football conference arguably a notch below theirs.
Happy day. Let's celebrate with them, eh? We've finally reached our proper place in the NCAA football universe.
