Opening lines: Toledo a 9.5-point underdog at Mississippi State
For the first time this season, the University of Toledo enters a football game as the betting underdog. In early lines released by online sportsbooks, Toledo is a 9.5-point underdog for Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. contest at Southeastern Conference opponent Mississippi State.

Briggs: MAC football was left for dead in new era. Someone forgot to tell 'em
When a torrent of lawsuits forced the NCAA to just say bleep it and turn college football into a big auction house — with players now aimlessly transferring to the highest bidder — that was supposed to be it for the little old Mid-American Conference. The Toledo Rockets were to become the Mud Hens, the Buffalo Bulls the Bisons, and so on, the MAC turning into a minor-league pipeline for the bigger schools with deeper pockets. Calling hours were scheduled for a Tuesday night in November. Refreshments would not be provided. Well …
Explosive plays give Toledo football a boost
Does Toledo have an offensive line problem? It’s too early to tell. What the Rockets do possess is a weapon to overcome a shoddy O-line: explosive plays. On Saturday, UT scored on touchdown passes of 73 and 40 yards, and Jacquez Stuart returned a kickoff 98 yards. Through two games, Toledo ranks in the top 30 national in plays of 40-plus yards and the Rockets are only one of 30 teams with a play of 70-plus yards. “It’s feast or famine,” UT coach Jason Candle said Saturday after his team’s 38-23 win over Massachusetts. “You’re going to miss some. You’re going to hit some long plays, too. That’s kind of what you saw today.”
Toledo Propulsion Systems announces $100,000 in grants to area charities
Ron Badyna of Lambertville was up and running early to make sure his car got a good spot at a General Motors employee car show Sunday at GM’s Oscar Bunch Park in West Toledo. But showing his car wasn’t the only reason he was there. It was also to support a GM - Toledo Propulsion Systems’ charitable investment in the local community, particularly to nonprofits involved in children’s education, said Mr. Badyna, one of at least 300 people showing vintage cars at an event used by the benefactor to announce giving away $100,000 in grants to seven Toledo-area nonprofits. “Just look at the way the world is today,” said the Purple Heart-decorated Vietnam War veteran who was showing a 1966 Corvette Coup. “Kids, as you see in the news, aren’t getting the proper education. A lot of these kids come from poor families, poor homes. They need a little bit of outside help.” The beneficiaries and the funds they are receiving are as follows:
Residents, organizations impacted by BMV closure ahead of November election
When United Auto Workers Local 14 President Tony Totty walked into the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles at 1600 Madison Ave. in May, he learned that it would be his last time at that location. “They said, ‘Well we’re going to be closing in a month,’ and I asked them, ‘Well where’s the new location?’” he said. “And they said there isn’t one.” The downtown BMV location closed in June. Lindsey Bohrer, a spokesman for the Ohio BMV, said the deputy registrar at the location retired, and the lease for the building was up. In Ohio, deputy registrars are privately owned, but in other states like Michigan, that’s not the case. “The Ohio BMV solicited potential contractors to maintain a location at or near the existing location but did not receive interest,” Ms. Bohrer wrote in an email to The Blade.
Toledo council to consider $2 million loan to South Toledo hotel
Toledo City Council on Wednesday will consider a $2 million loan guarantee for renovations to a Delta Hotel by Marriott on the University of Toledo Medical Center campus. The 6.25 percent HUD loan guarantee would be used to fund furniture, equipment, and training costs for the South Toledo hotel. To be eligible, the project must facilitate the creation of jobs and training opportunities in Toledo and advance equitable development projects in an underserved neighborhood. At an agenda review meeting on Sept. 4, there was support as well as opposition to the loan guarantee. At the time, Councilman Adam Martinez said he was opposed to the proposal. “This money is a loan guarantee based on our annual allocation of Community Block Grant funding for Toledo, which is what pays for assistance with homeless shelters as well as programming the city undertakes, like home repair and lead abatement,” he said. “The concern is the annual allocation of CDBG funds would be reduced and there would be less to go into our community if this fails.”
No money needed to shop at Toledo church's free store
A rummage-worthy collection of odds and ends is set up next to the Toledo Museum of Art, inside Glenwood Lutheran Church. At the far corner of the Change Sings mural on the back of the church, an open door welcomes all who wish to enter from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays. “It is basically a thrift store, but we don't handle any money,” said Alyx Kendzierski, the facilitator of the Sharing Collective Free Store. “There's no payment for anything. We just take donations, we sort through those donations, we try to clean things up as best as we can, make sure what we're putting out is useful and still in good condition.” Folding tables with assortments of kitchenware, accessories, and small appliances stand next to clothing racks filled with items for newborns up through adult age.

Make your move: Physical education classes aim to create 'physically literate' students
The state of physical education in 2024 certainly doesn’t resemble the P.E. practiced by Gen Xers and Boomers during their school years. Those earlier generations may recall physical education class as a sometimes demoralizing and stressful part of schooling where you performed dangerous activities like climbing the rope or played games like “Soak ‘Em.” Ah, the 20th century. At Toledo Public Schools, the P.E. programs are guided by the Ohio Department of Education’s Physical Education Standards, which were adopted in 2015. The standards emphasize a desire to create “physically literate individuals.” The five standards that make up a “physically literate” individual read as follows: Standard 1: Demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns. Standard 2: Applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance. Standard 3: Demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness. Standard 4: Exhibits responsible, personal and social behavior that respects self and others. Standard 5: Recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.
