UMass can't be bothered to join our conference for anything but football, so this list is a little shorter than normal because I decided to stick to the accounts that MAC fans (i.e. us) would actually care about. Unless you scroll to the "Other" section on the bottom. Then anything goes.
First the general MAC folks always worth a follow:
@HustleBelt - Hustle Belt - @sbnation's Mid-American Conference blog and #1 grit liquidator. Cheerfully operated by Bryan M. Vance (@BryanMVance) 'n friends.
@suss2hyphens - Matt Sussman, Former Managing Editor, Hustle Belt - I write the puns that make the whole world cringe. @baseballpro and @HustleBelt. You should try curling
@bryanmvance - Bryan Vance, New Managing Editor at Hustle Belt - Beard Aficionado. El Capitan @HustleBelt home of all things #MACtion. Ohio Football guy for @WOUBSports, & producer of @SportsBeatWOUB
Please note that Hustle Belt went from a BG fan to a Ohio fan. Thank goodness we have BullRun
Other Fan Websites: @VanDelaySports; @TheMacDaily; @macreportonline - None of these three have updated in a while. Maybe they've been elbowed out by SBNation
