The NFL is going to call that 99% of the time. You don't have to like the rule, but that's textbook helmet-to-helmet contact to a defenseless receiver.

Looks like I'll be listening to this one on the radio.

What's most important is making the right hire. If it takes us two weeks to find the best candidate and we lose out on a handful of recruits so be it. I'd rather that than for us to rush a decision and hire someone we'll have to fire in 3-4 years.

It was most likely some sort of combination of the two.

Georgia passed Ohio

I've read them, they just don't make any sense. Nobody here is expecting Akron to contend with Ohio State, Clemson, or Alabama for national championships. We play 8 games against other MAC teams, 1 against a FCS, and typically another 1-2 games against other G5 OOC opponents. If we were Rutgers and had to play Penn State, Michigan, and Ohio State on a weekly basis, your post might actually make some sense, but we don't. We play PCCC, Miami (the crappy one), and a host of other extremely winnable games against G5 competition. Please explain to me why NIU or Toledo as a G5 school can recruit players that can win the MAC, but by your logic Akron can't?

Does anyone know if this game is part of a home and home series?

Is your opinion that low of Akron that you don't think they can attract someone who can win 50% of their games? That's all it would take to be better than Bowden.

Yes, the Zips have notoriously had some pretty bad 1st halves this year. We played much better in the second half.

Personally, I wanted him gone after the 2016 season.

Better late than never...

Our poor free throw shooting is going to cost us a game at some point this season.

We've been a second half team most of the year. Lets see if we have a strong 2nd half.

So did Channel Banks

The All-MAC teams for 2018 have been released. No Zips offensive players made it, no surprise there, but we did have a fair number of players make it on the defensive end, rightfully so. 1st Team DB - Alvin Davis 2nd Team Outside Linebacker – Ulysees Gilbert III Down Lineman – Jamal Davis Defensive Back – Kyron Brown 3rd Team Outside Linebacker – John Lako Inside Linebacker – Brian Bell For a complete list you can go to the below link. https://getsomemaction.com/news/2018/11/28/football-mac-announces-2018-all-mac-first-second-third-teams-and-postseason-awards.aspx

PCCC was down 8 with 1 1/2 left last night and then went on a 14-2 run to win. It should be a decent test to see how we stack up against some of the other MAC teams considering we're the 5th MAC team to play them.

It's ESPN streaming service. The content on it is absolutely phenomenal. It has all the 30/30, it has a series of Kobe breaking down NBA players, has a series of Manning breaking down young QB's, has every out of market MLS game, tons of other foreign soccer, random college games, other misc sports, and series. I will definitely be renewing my subscription.

Yes, I was most impressed with Cheese. He got in a groove where everything was falling. Another player I was impressed with was E-Man. He seemed to actually have developed some some offensive moves. It's too be seen if this production will continue when we face bigger, stronger centers.

Is it just me or are others getting annoyed seeing that Ohio Lottery commercial 2-3x each tv break?

Oklahoma defense actually regressed when they let him go. For Stoops I'd like Akron to interview him because he's a local guy (from Youngstown), his dad coached at Cardinal Mooney for years so he has local connections, and he has prior head coaching experience. I'm not saying I'd give him the job, but I think he's worth at least a look.

I like it. I hope they move more games there. Paying $60 for a year membership certainly beats the $75/mo I was previously paying for cable.

Stoops and Luke Getsy are both guys I'd like for Akron to interview.

The sample size is small, but based off of Kenpom the MAC outside of Buffalo looks pretty evenly matched. It should be a fun year to watch MAC hoops. KenPom Rankings 40 - Buffalo 96 - Toledo 111 - Ball St 129 - Akron 149 - NIU 155 - Miami 159 - Kent St 162 - Ohio 165 - EMU 168 - CMU 185 - BGSU 212 - WMU

As does a 35-51 record through 7 years

We want Bama
