James Madison comes into the 2025-26 season after posting a 20-12 record last season with a loss in the Sun Belt Final to Troy. From looking at their roster, they have a ton of new faces. Included in these transfers are the following: · Paul Jones, a 6’4” sophomore guard who averaged 7.6 ppg and 3 rpg last year at Winthrop where he was named to the Big South Conference. · Bradley Douglas, a 6’4” senior guard transfer from Geogia Southern where he averaged 12.6 ppg, 2.3 rpg and 2.2 apg. He’s on his 5th school in 5 years. · Cliff Davis- 6’2” senior guard transfer from Rio Grande where he averaged 12.1 ppg and 4.5 rpg. · Paul Lewis, a 6’2” guard who started at Vanderbilt then transferred to UTSA where he missed nearly all of last season due to injury. · Justin McBride, a 6’7 junior forward transfer from Nevada (Previously Okla. St.) where he averaged 7.8 ppg and 4/1 rpg. · Ike Cornish, a 6’6” senior guard transfer from Nicholls who averaged 7.7. ppg and 2.2 rpg. He started in Maryland and spent a season at Ohio U. · Eli Wilborn, a 6’8” junior forward who was a teammate of Barre at Duquesne where he averaged 5 ppg and 3.5 rpg last year. · Gabe Newhof, a 6’9” senior forward who was an NAIA All-American at Spring Arbor last season, averaging 21.5 ppg and 7.2 rpg. From looking at the roster JMU appears deep and experienced and will again be towards the top of the Sun Belt standings. They’ll also likely still be in transition mode with so many new faces. I'll keep updating as more info and previews become available.

$20 a ticket GA. Hmmm.

Akron has added an exhibition game at Youngstown State on October 29. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AqJdnhuDp/

I loved the script Akron!

Kenpom.com I personally wouldn't place too much stock in preseason ratings. Especially since we see so much roster turnover these days.

Script Akron was still better than the times new roman A they threw together now. At least it was identifiable who it was.

Two weeks ago Balls beat OU 20-14 and then last week lost to WMU 42-0 🧐🤨

In the RPI (as of 10/13 at 9 AM), Akron is #18 and Seton Hall is #20. https://rpiupdatemenssoccer.blogspot.com/search/label/RPI Rank?m=1

Stop making fun of my script "Akron"!!!

Neither Akron or this week's opponent, Seton Hall, are ranked in the Top Drawer Soccer poll. Akron is ranked at #23 in this week's College Soccer News poll, while Seton Hall is receiving votes. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-national-rankings/men https://collegesoccernews.com/college-soccer-news-mens-week-8-top-25-coaches-poll-stanford-becomes-5th-team-to-take-1-princeton-joins-top-10/

I thought “Design a lame new logo” would solve all the football problems…boy was I wrong.

Nobody called you an idiot or even implied it. It's a forum - an exchange of ideas and opinions. If there was an easy answer to all of this it would have been found by now.

Do you have a link? Would be nice to see our opponents, e.g., Charleston.

Bump

And if a booster does step up to fire Moorhead, they need to be ready to step up in other ways. That is, supporting our program to have a respectable operating budget compared to our peers and NIL, or it’s all wasted money because nothing will change.

I'm 56. In my life, the following schools were doormats. Kansas State, Baylor, Wake Forest, Iowa State TCU, Vanderbilt. Somehow they are respectable now. It wasn't that hard either. They just made good, basic decisions.

Eh, nope, you get told you're an idiot and to pony up the money if you want anything to be better. So, better to just be 2-10 every year and not have expectations that a team in Ohio could win football games.

No, I'm completely on board. Can really choose your own seat when you pay the $10 for visiting side general admission. It's the perfect solution, really. Creating lifelong fans, one loss at a time. I see the error of my ways!

the solution is simple fire joe moe and convince charlie frye or jason taylor to become the next coach and the stadium will magically become a sellout every home game and five star recruits will beating down the door to be the next great akron football player. problem solved

Akron comes in at 94 in the Preseason Kenpom! Kent is 125 and Miami is 127

You can always call up the athletic department and offer up money to help pay the buyout if you want it so badly... This board seems to love spending others money. Crying about wanting a coach fired, but expecting other boosters to pay for it...

Can't do that here. Just have to suffer through D4 high school crowds and 2-wins seasons and hope he doesn't re-up at the end of his contract.

Nope. No way to do it. Just can not be done.

I have watched Stefan Dobrijevic play a lot, maybe 100 times considering Spring, Akron FC, Club.... I have never seen him play better. He was fantastic, easily the MOTM!
