I saw somewhere that there's a good chance that the MAC goes to a 22 game schedule next season. Home and away against the other 11 teams.

Both Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid are hurt for Minnesota. Enrique may finally be active tomorrow.

Now we need some quality DL.

https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/news/national-championship-indiana-miami-punch-mark-fletcher Am I the only one getting a little disgusted with what seems like every game having a post game dust-up? I attribute this jackassery to NIL and there being little consequences for bad behavior because you can always transfer somewhere else. If they want to be professionals, treat them like professionals. Want to embarrass the NFL/college football Mr. Player? Want to run your mouth to the point someone takes a swing at you? Here is a hefty fine. Players don't misbehave like this in the NFL because they will forfeit lots of money in terms of fines and game checks. Unionized college athletics now like the NFL and they can begin to get these clowns under control. If players want to appeal, they can have their union do it for them.

The allure of the beach and the Dick's Last Resort NIL $$ was too much to resist, I guess.

Just saw shootaround photos on IG and Sharron was involved. Doesn't mean he's playing today but it's a good sign for the near-term.

My son gets an athletic digest. In it, it said about Indiana - "A program that had been the worst in Power 4 history and the losingest in FBS history just won the national title two years after getting dragged into quadruple overtime by 2-10 Akron,"

If memory serves me the annual trip to arctic Buffalo has not always been kind to the Zips. Would be nice to get Sharron and Chabi back.

Indiana is probably the most interesting outcome in college football in my life. It's one thing for a team to upset another like App State did to Michigan. It's something entirely different for this kind of turnaround to result in such high level success.

keshawn hayden is the one that backed out of the zips and chose eastern kentucky... i was looking at this cam williams. his agent says that he has 10 FBS offers and he will be announcing soon. He lists 6'5 the school site has him at 6'3 both have him at 250... decent stats at atlanta clark. offers i saw were Troy, akron, memphis, eastern carolina, middle tennessee state, coastal carolina, western kentucky, jax state i dontknow if all those r fbs but those r the offers i saw on his site... so we shall see. he looks like a tackle. looks very thick.

Congratulations to Beto… …“Gui and Beto played important roles in our success last season, and we’re excited to reward them with new contracts. We expect them to remain key pieces within the group for years to come,” Sporting Director Dan Visser said. Ydrach, 24, famously netted the clinching penalty kick in the Hounds’ shootout win over FC Tulsa to secure the league title, and he also headed the game-winning goal in the team’s U.S. Open Cup victory over New York City FC in the Round of 32 last year. A Puerto Rico international with 17 appearances for his national team, Ydrach started 27 of the Hounds’ 29 regular-season matches as a rookie out of the University of Akron. …

The DB/CB commits are rolling in quick!

I hadn't thought of the potential of getting attendance from those in the area for the holidays. But it's also tough to find teams to schedule during the holidays as there's simply fewer games being played. Most games during that week between Christmas and New Year's seem to be against non-D1 teams.

And how sad is it that we didn't win that game on a short FG that literally I could make?!

Playing international games is always a challenge 😉

I would think it would definitely cut out at least one non-D1 opponent because we usually play one late in December around NYE and there would almost certainly be a conference game around that time now. Not sure how long the agreement with the SBC is but if that might be ending, it would be a good time to expand to 22 games. Maybe we just kick UMass out (act like they were never here) and have 11 teams, play everyone twice for 20 games. 😆

We're Akron. We always get everyone's best. Especially on the road in the MAC.

that game was freaking awesome ... so exciting to watch good football wasn't invested either way just wanted to watch a good exciting game and got it. some great plays. the fourth down play that mendoza scored on was awesome and that charlie becker is one heck of a wr... whatever teams get fletcher and toni are gonna studs in the future too..: great championship game

If you take out NIU we get one more game against one of the following: Miami, BG, OU, Toledo, Umass, or CMU its not NIUs fault, but it would’ve been nice if they just got out when it was announced they were leaving

As much logical sense this makes. I also hope Miami loses, I just hate seeing them being americas darling when we are just as good

Akron currently favored by 8.5 points with an O/U of 169.5

How is it that some players are just injury prone. I think that is why he did not have a large number of minutes at Duquesne. I feel sorry for the guy. Must be frustrating.

It will be interesting to see how the leash shortens on coaching tenures of those guiding underachieving teams with big payrolls. If I were the donor that ponied up a million bucks to buy Nate Johnson I’d be pretty angry about only having a .500 record to show for it. I’d probably be making some demands if they want me to cut more checks in the future.

I'm perfectly fine with Miami winning every game until they lose to the Zips in Cleveland.
