Hundreds of Flashes Fans Gather Downtown to Send-off Football Team
Kent State's team buses left for the MAC Championship game in Detroit this morning
A sea of yellow and blue swept into downtown Kent this morning as hundreds of Golden Flashes fans gathered to send off the Kent State University football team buses as they left for Detroit, MI, this morning.
The team is headed to the 2012 Mid-American Conference Championship game against Northern Illinois. The two teams will meet Friday at 7 p.m. in Ford Field.
The Flashes captured the MAC East Division title earlier this season with a perfect 8-0 record.
