Put in Goddard....

Aren't we about due for a "my sister's best friend's cousin" saw a guy at the Akron Canton Airport that looked a lot like "insert candidate's name here."

As a Marshall fan here is my take on Doc: Good Guy Great recruiter Conservative Play Doc is a great guy but he isn't the dynamic coach that is going to be in the middle of everything. He also will not show any emotion on the sideline unless provoked for it, very stoic. You could be up 30 or down 30 and he will look the same. That can be a plus at times. If Doc was hired at Akron I can almost bet that Akron recruiting wouldn't be 10-12 each year. The guy knows how to recruit and he has for many years. All but 3 of his classes at Marshall was in the Top 3 with 7 at #1 in the conference. The other 3 he was top heavy on the Big Uglies on both lines. If you want a risk taking coach Doc isn't the man. He was mentored by Don Nehlen one of if not the most conservative coaches Ive ever seen. You won't see him going for it on 4th and 3 at your 35 often. He once punted on our own 35 because it was 4th and 7 and our FG kicker had already missed 3 FGs. Lucky for him it was the right call, ball ended up inside the 1 and a safety happened on the next play.

We should know by Saturday night whether Dino Babers is available. It's doubtful 'Cuse will be bowl eligible this year. Babers, kind of a flop at 'Cuse, but, like I said in another threat (or earlier in this one, Idk) I daydream about him doing for us what he did for BUGS.

Read that and thought the same. His resume there is pretty impressive. Letting him go after 1 bad season seems like an overreaction.

They have Club Hockey which, when I was the trainer, drew more fans than probably 3/4 of the sanctioned sports. It was a good time. As far as starting a regular program, it comes down to money. Start out with scholarship money. How many schollys? Where does the money come from? Multiply that by 2 to stay in compliance with Title IX. An alternative is to go Division 3, which has no scholarships, but there are no D3 opponents in Ohio. So your travel expenses are going to be huge. There are some D1 schools (i.e. Ivy League) that don't have scholarships, and a lot of schools that don't have the max. But can you consistently schedule them? Then you need a rink. The club team plays at Center Ice, near Akron Canton Airport. That's another cost. Add in uniforms, practice time, games, a zillion "nickle and dime" expenses nobody thought of. I'm not saying it can't be done, but there are no rich hockey alumni willing to sign checks for all of those expenses. My suggestion, visit the club team. Take in some games. These guys have been playing hockey a big part of their lives, are AU students in good standing, and put on a good show. The league is competitive. I've had a lot more fun at (club) hockey games than I have at most football games I've been to. So their families are paying the bills instead of the university, when the puck drops I seriously doubt you'll notice a difference. 😎 http://www.zipshockey.com/ https://linktr.ee/AkronIceHockey https://www.blastathletics.com/video_links/19876

"Former Akron defensive coordinator Todd Stroud, now a special assistant to Manny Diaz at Miami is on the list" Thank gawd. This gives me confidence at least someone has a clue.

The game is at noon. I love it. Toledo is going to put on a football game in a clean stadium, good food, good tailgating and they field a good team. They don't give a flying poop that the OSU vs Michigan game is going on less than an hour away at the same time. Hats off to them for believing in their product.

6-5 senior guard Taevion Kinsey leads the Herd at 19.6 ppg. 6-8 sophomore forward Obina Anochile-Killen is a factor inside grabbing nearly 9 rebounds a game with 27 blocks in 5 games. He had 10 blocks against Jackson State. 6-3 junior guard Taylor Andrew averages 7.4 assists per game while scoring 10 ppg. With the Herd's ability to score (82.8) and the Zips scoring issues I am afraid this one could be another loss.
