Why I'm a Fan of MACtion: Coaches and athletes make the experience

It's been a journey of more than 20 years for me on the road to loving MACtion. I wouldn't trade a day of it.

As one of the oldest contributors to this blog, I suppose it is fitting that my task here is to bat lead-off. My journey. My journey down the path of MAC fandom began before many of my contemporaries were even born.

I was born and raised in the south, so even though my parents were both from northwest Ohio, the heart of MAC country, I knew very little about the MAC and her sister mid-major conferences as a youngster.
