BALTIMORE, Maryland -- The Morgan State football team's unanticipated rise to the top of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference hasn't earned the program much respect from its peers..A season after going from being picked to finish last to capturing a share of the MEAC championship for the first time since 1979 and representing the league in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, the Bears were predicted to finish fifth in the MEAC this season.
The slight didn't escape the attention of players like junior running back Herb Walker Jr.
"It's insulting, but I really try not to think about it," he said during Thursday's Morgan State football media day at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore. "I really try to focus on our brotherhood and getting the team better. I try not to focus on that, but that got a chip on our shoulders and makes us want to work even harder."
