I was at the US Open in Oakmont yesterday. One of the marshals walks over to me and points at my shirt "did you go to Akron...I taught biology there for 35 years"

King just visited West Virginia and it looks like he may pull the trigger, but maybe TB and the rest of the SVSM contingent can get in his ear.

Fleck's done a good job. But he's only winning the vaunted "Recruiting Stars" Championships. Sorta like winning the RPI Championship if you're an OU fan. Back-to-back 8-5 seasons. Won their first bowl game last season. Fleck is younger and hipper than Bowden, but the results are the same thus far.

Buffalo is the two time defending MAC tournament champion with 4 starters back. They should be the pre season pick.

Is that really Reggie corner's son?! What were the ages involved there? Seems almost impossible or I'm getting old, because Reggie didn't seem so long ago.

The entire B1G comes into NEO to raid talent mostly leaving MAC teams to sort through the scraps to find the diamonds in the rough. What I feel is key if Akron ever hopes to get to the level that you are proposing is that we need to convince 18 year old kids that Akron provides them a better opportunity than a 2nd or 3rd tier B1G school (Indiana, Illinois, Purdue, etc.) I know many on here don't like OSU, but I feel that is a relationship that we should keep strong. Frankly whoever is the 2nd or 3rd string player at OSU, they are most likely better than anyone Akron has starting at said position. Whenever Urban Meyer comes a crossed a player that is frustrated that he can't break thru to being an every down player and wants to transfer, it is best he refers them to Akron.

The coaches and recruiting staff has been very, very busy the last few months.
