Good for them. Akron 31 Kent 27

There's been pretty significant growth. One year of a little bit of a setback isn't going to alarm me. If it's not just a setback year, and we were to continue to erode next year, I will be alarmed.

Serious answer - I don't have the least bit of concern that an undefeated Western Michigan team drove 6 hours to play a sorry Kent team in the cold rain, and overlooked them for a couple quarters. We beat Kent, at Kent, with our back up QB. That game holds more comparative weight to me. I hate that Toledo and WMU whipped our butts. It sucks to watch that in your own stadium. But what can you expect given our situation (recent program history, graduation losses, injuries)? I feel we're exponentially better off than 5 years ago, and progressing at a decent clip. IF we can get any semblance of a defense next season, we can have that great year we're all waiting for. The offense will be awesome. If we don't address or defensive needs next season, it will be a crime. And I'll probably put some really good season tickets back on the market...cause I can't take much more.

Can watch Sampson and Woodridge this weekend at the Info vs Hoban! Akron East will be playing vs New Phili in Canal Fulton.

Not too shabby for 10 games.
