While they’re gone, Quicken Loans Arena will be turned completely upside down by rapacious Mid-American Conference college students, who’ll descend on the city like a Biblical swarm of locusts.

That’s right – every fall the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode. And that must mean it’s time for the MAC Tourney – one of my favorite times of year!!

The college kids go nuts and about all we can do is cover as much as we can in plastic. (I don’t know what they feed Zippy, the U. of Akron’s mascot, but you don’t want to know about the mess he leaves over a three-day Tournament.)
