Falcons -1 1/2 vs. Rockets

I am sure you probably heard it. The joke that was making its way through the internet last week and making the entire state of Ohio shake with laughter. It appeared a few days before the annual grudge match between Michigan and Ohio State and went a little something like this:

Did you hear the Michigan-Ohio State game has been cancelled? It seems Michigan can not get past Toledo.

Funny perhaps if you are an Ohio State fan, troubling if you are a Michigan fan and perhaps a little prophetic as the Wolverines were drilled by their Buckeye rivals 42-7. But if you are the Toledo football program, how do you take that joke. On one hand it's a complement that you were the first Mid-American team to beat Michigan, but on the other hand it is a bit of a slight that the lone highlight of your season was the win in Ann Arbor. Yet, at 3-8, it is truly hard to argue that it was the only highlight of the season.

Unfortunately for the Rockets (3-8, 2-5), any momentum the program gained by the 13-10 win against the Wolverines was quickly washed away when they lost four straight. They finally stopped the skid last week with a home win against Miami of Ohio and look to take a two-game winning streak into the offseason when they faceoff at home against Bowling Green.

For the Falcons (5-6, 3-4) they have not been the butts of nationally known jokes, but they have not really had a highlight that defines their season like Toledo. A win for Bowling Green would gain them bowl eligibility and a .500 record, but an actual bowl game is almost certainly not in the cards. The Falcons lost their final home game to Buffalo 40-34 in overtime last week which snapped their modest two game winning streak.

In their last matchup last season, Bowling Green beat Toledo 37-10. The victory was the Falcons first over the Rockets since 2003.
