They were getting destroyed for their SOS in a post showcasing them as the #4 team in the Mid Major Top 25. Some Miami OH fan tried to defend the program by saying they had the 3rd toughest OOC on paper prior to the season, and they can't control what happens to other teams once the season starts. As you can imagine after looking at their OOC, the fan's defense was met with laughter. Old Dominion Trinity (IL) Air Force Mercyhurst AR-Pine Bluff UNC Greensboro IU East Maine UNC Asheville Eastern Kentucky Wright State Milligan UNC Asheville is only a Q3 opponent because it's on the road with a 200 NET ranking. Their 5 losses are to Wichita State, Georgia Southern, Western Carolina, Tennessee State, and NC State. They have wins over Lipscomb, Bryan (TN), App State, and UNC Greensboro. Decent chance this is ultimately a Q4 game for Miami (OH) come season's end. This is only the 3rd team on the Redhawks' schedule in the top 300 for NET, with one UNC Greensboro being borderline at 291. Interestingly enough, they start MAC play with Balls on the 20th, then play @ BUGS and home vs. Akron in back to back games which are currently both Q2 opportunities (you're welcome, Sweaters). We'll quickly see if the creampuff schedule has Little Brother's Squad prepared for the MAC which is seemingly much improved.

Laventure to the portal.

Kinda sad that their toughest matchup so far is against a 4-5 team.

8-0 Miami plays UNC Ashville tonight which will be their very first quad 3 game of the year. With only 2 Q3 games in their OOC, they may be the first MAC team who's strength of schedule actually increases when MAC play begins.

Very impressive track record for new Toledo Head Coach. Would a guy like this accept the Akron job? On one hand, I could see him taking it because it’s a D1 job, but on the other hand, I could see him not taking it because you are set up to fail. What do you think? https://utrockets.com/news/2025/12/10/mike-jacobs-named-head-football-coach-at-toledo

MAC had two 2nd team all Americans. LB Red Murdock of Buffalo and S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren.

People still watch the NBA? It's unwatchable.

College basketball is a tough sell for much of the country. Most don't seem to care much about it until February/March when the tournament is approaching. Heck even the NBA I hear people joke that the season doesn't really start until Christmas day.

I am surprised that this has not popped up the Twitter Page Empty Seats Galore(@EmptySeatsPics)

Congratulations Jason Shokalook!!!

Probably more fitting for the keyboard warriors demanding change on football threads.

You can't expect much more than that from Ohio's #2 CBB team (14 spots behind Akron in the latest NET) and the undisputed worst fan base in the country.

I caught some of that game and they hid the lack of crowd very nicely by not turning on any lights in the seating area. 🤣 But then again, our attendance is nothing to brag about either.

Maybe if they still used their historic arena instead of a sterile NBA-Lite arena they could actually get some fans there just for the vibes

That would have been against a ranked Illinois as well so it's not like it was against Nobody U.

Calan DeWalt, Ohio Premier 08/07 – An Akron(m) commit for 2026, De Walt imposed himself on the game against Chattanooga in a 2-2 draw. He broke lines with the ball and made a couple of crucial defensive interventions.

Played poker with em once or twice.

Anyone ever heard of Emory and Henry?

I hope a good recruit or transfer.

From what and what?

What we haven't announced will get Zip soccer fans very excited.

At the moment anyway, 2026 looks like one of the best recruiting classes to ever come to Akron.
