The Serb is worth a couple OOC wins in my eyes, so if he's on campus, that's massive. -
That is a really strong result for St. John's....on the road.... Akron will have their hands full with St. John's when they come to Akron on October 3. If memory serves me correctly, St. John's also has a 5-0 win this year over New Hampshire (New Hampshire appeared in seven straight NCAA's from 2017-2023). St. John's will host Marshall on Friday September 5......so they are really playing a tough schedue

Folks are really moving the goal post down the field now saying no mid major schools have consistent relevancy in 25 years. WTF does that have to do with us not being able to score a single damn point at home against Wyoming.
-
Folks are really complaining about us playing on Thursday acting like we would get more viewers on Saturday competing against the Ohio States and Alabamas when it comes to viewership? Hilarious.
-
Ever heard of Boise State?
-
I could see that happening. I could see the MAC agreeing to play exclusively Tuesday night games.
-
Maybe it would result in more money in totality. I would just expect 60% of it to go the the B1G/SEC, 30% to ACC/Big 12, and 10% to the G5 to split.
-
Now, that's an interesting idea.
-
What if we didn't do that through the athletic department, and did it through the actual departments that do the actual work of education?
-
If you have noticed this commercial this weekend, the article explains it. https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/billionaire-booster-ads-calling-congress-national-college-sports-tv-package.html I could see how it could result in more money. I also see how the morons who run G5 could make things worse for us. When it becomes about money, the athletes students alumni fans and general communities around the schools get poorly served. I'm also not keen on giving the NCAA more power.

another fabulous article....about Richie..... Richie was a fiery competitor at Akron.....Toronto is fortunate to have a "Warrior" on their team https://www.thestar.com/sports/tfc/no-matter-what-position-he-plays-richie-laryea-a-driving-force-for-toronto-fc/article_1b8f151d-750e-5186-aa75-a76a21a323c2.html

The quotes in this article....about Richie Laryea...are absolutely glowing there are so many quotes that I am not allowed to post all of them.... please click on the article....and read about former Zip Richie https://wakingthered.com/2025/08/31/20909/osorio-was-the-goal-hero-but-laryea-vilsaint-play-big-hand-in-toronto-fc-draw-with-cf-montreal/ CanMNT and TFC veteran Richie Laryea occupied the role of a center-back, instead of his usual role at full-back. However, Laryea was everywhere, making deep runs all the way to the CFMTL box, and sometimes controlling possession as an advanced No. 8. “Richie has become, for us, wherever we need somebody, for whatever reason, he just goes there, and he’s excelled in everything I’ve asked him to do,” (head coach) Fraser said. “And I’ve asked him to do probably six or seven different things this year.” Goalscorer and the man of the moment, Osorio, was also full of praise for Laryea, acknowledging that people might already know how good he is, but Laryea may not be getting the proper respect he deserves. “I can’t speak highly enough about that guy,” Osorio said. “He is an unbelievable competitor, an unbelievable footballer. He plays where he’s told to play, and he does the job. I think a lot of people know how good he is, but actually, I think even he deserves even more respect than he actually gets. Because that guy is a top-level player.”

What if they found a way to do just that with the athletic department?

Another win! I need to start tuning in more -
Offensive guru puts up a donut against….Wyoming?

And the taxpayer support should be going to supporting students and the next generation of our economy, not to football programs. As a taxpaying citizen, I want better paid educators ... better resources ... less debt for college students than a BS football program that just drains money.

2025 Akron Zips Women's Soccer
NYC ZIP replied to Z.I.P.'s topic in Akron Zips NCAA Championship Soccer
Ball lives are being recuperated at the women’s game as well. It seems the survival of soccer balls is a point of emphasis for both men and women’s soccer this season. There has to be one student that played HS soccer and aspires to be a TV announcer that’s better that this kid. He is painful to listen to. -

My comments weren't pertaining to MBB or Olympic sports. It was specifically about FBS football. We were never capable of competing with the OSU or Alabama's of the world in football. I have no idea why you're trying to take my words out of context. Of course we could compete in MBB. I never stated otherwise. There is always a Cinderella in the tournament. Roster sizes are much smaller in basketball and basketball is a global game so it's harder for bigger schools to hoard all the talent. Also, 1 or 2 guys having a career night from 3 is a great David vs Goliath equalizer. Football is more challenging because even if you do have some skilled players, you won't have the depth or size in the trenches. As for soccer we won a national championship so that's self explanatory. I've long stated we should focus on basketball and soccer as our dollars would go further there since everyone else is prioritizing football. It's not nearly as much of an uphill battle.

We have Plutocrats. We don't have Oligarchs. Oligarchs arise after Socialism/Communism and privately control what used to be state run businesses. Shame on Bernie Sanders for so often misusing the word.
