My sources say that: 1) Akron is bad at football; and 2) Nobody in a position of authority at Akron gives a $h!+.

He was at the men's soccer game last night!

(I don't actually know)

They lost if I recall, and the outcome was never in doubt. So getting the #3 seed wasn't worth more than wiping your own ass with it. And no, I won't STFU, it's this kind of lame-ass pettyfogging that has led universities like ours to making dumbass financial decisions to support absolutely worthless football programs, all so a bunch of suits can pad their resumes. It's same pissass financial analysis that leads so many businesses into ruin because people value the dream over a sound cost benefit analysis. Has being the #3 seed helped Boise State Financially? Nope. So why don't you sit down and STFU. What tangible benefit has football been to Boise State? Not. A. Godamend. eff'n. Thing. Oh, they have a #3 seeding and lose to Big-10 Penn State, while cutting programs and professors. Give me a eff'n break.

The merchandise game sucks today. Like seriously, wtf happened? I remember when I was at UA 2008-2013, there were SO MANY OPTIONS when it came to gear and merchandise. Now it's all generic slop.

What they should do is make a unified state system(s) like California. Have one research branch, and one professional branch; but all one system; have the professional and research branches coexisting, but the the individual branches no overlapping in the same geographical areas. Kent and Akron both don't need nursing schools. Both don't need biology departments doing research ... etc.

Congratulations to Matthew Paiva. He has been a fantastic starter at center back.

Past the midway point of the first half, Zips employed a good old fashioned 4-4-2. This totally took Vikings by surprise. Remi and Farrell were the two Forwards and they immediately terrorized the CSU back line. Unfortunately, Farrell soon caught a silly yellow card, and staff removed him (and this formation). I want Zips to spring this 4-4-2 formation once again. It probably should never be our base system but it can be a real shock to the opposition. We should try it again.

Empty seats don’t absorb noise.

Welp you just proved you are a clueless casual Boise State has a 503–189–2 record .726 Bowl record 13–9 (.591) 2 claimed national titles Made the 1st ever CFB Playoffs as a #3 seed. and has 22 Conference titles. Please do yourself a favor and STFU

Big changes looming on the horizon include not just where the football program will fit but where/how the school will exist as an individual entity. There's a major public college shakeout coming for the State of Ohio, and the 14 existing public universities will very likely become seven or five within the next 15 years. I have a feeling the state will return to its "four in the corners, one in the middle" concept, which will pit multiple schools against one another, particularly in NE and SW Ohio.

The Missouri Valley Conference has a separate website for their football conference and the rest of their sports Missouri Valley Football Conference website Missouri Valley Conference main(?) website Missouri Valley Football Conference Illinois State Indiana State Murray State North Dakota North Dakota State Northern Iowa (UNI) South Dakota South Dakota State Southern Illinois Youngstown State That's a solid football conference which we wouldn't win right now. NDSU would name their score on us. Missouri Valley basketball schools: Belmont Bradley Drake Evansville UIC Illinois State Indiana State Murray State Northern Iowa (UNI) Southern Illinois Valparaiso For 30 years I've been absolutely dead set against dropping down but I've been kicked in the balls so often as a Zips football fan that I've broken and would absolutely give this move serious consideration... were it offered.

I think you're wasting your time trying to convince the wrong person. I'm not the audience you need to convince. I've said for a few years now that the cost for G5 football has grown too outrageously high and something needs to be done. Whether its just mailing it in and us being the Pirates of FBS (spend little to nothing, but collect the revenue sharing) or do something more drastic like drop down to non-scholaship FCS.
