It’s finally go time, friends and neighbors, for the lifting of the curtain for the 2017 football season in everyone’s favorite Little Conference that Could, the Mid-American Conference. Home of MACtion, Tuesday Night Lights, and the drum we beat so heavily for Group of Five respect, it’s showtime in Canton, Ohio today.
Normally, this meeting of the players, coaches, and media occurs in Detroit at Ford Field, but because of construction the festivities have been relocated to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It’s a change of venue, but won’t change is the hopeful optimism and unfettered access to your favorite coaches and players.
If you’re on Twitter you can follow along with our representative on sight, Rocket, via the main Hustle Belt account, appropriately @HustleBelt. You can also follow along directly with Rocket (@morefball).
