This. I support Akron, I am Joe Akron. I did not attend the school. I'm a rare breed of being a younger fan that dislikes Columbus but these schedules that Akron produces are a bare to deal with. There is zero excitement, outside of rooting for an upset in a pre-season tournament. I played college basketball and when this team plays schools I have never heard of or am not familiar with, I cannot imagine what the average fan to somebody that doesn't support the school thinks. How can Akron expect to get people in the seats with the teams they play? Regular fans don't want to see it, clearly Joe Akron won't care. I know...it's beating a dead horse. But I don't buy that Akron can't get some lower BCS name teams and higher mid majors than what they do. I feel they like their "20 game win" tag line.

That's what one says to separate himself from the blunders of others. We all know that building the stadium was not the problem. iCoach, 1-11 3 years in a row, weeknight MAC games. Fans and alumni can only take so much. President Scarborough should be spending his time talking about his plan to make the most of that stadium rather than what he wouldn't have done. Monday morning quarterbacking does no one any good.

I think we already have a number of players with the same skill set set as Baddley already on the roster. Agba, Utomi, Olajapoke and recent commit Williams all fit the same template ie athletic forward.. I think the Zips are more interested in finding a true center at this point.

You know, if we left the MAC for, say, Conference USA, we would suddenly have an abundance of quality regional mid-majors to fill out our OOC schedule.

Sabbi has been named to the roster for the US U-18 MNT for an upcoming tournament, apparently in Carson, CA (StubHub Center). http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-soccer-articles/u18-mnt-roster-revealed-for-ntc-tourney_aid36776
