There has to be a lot of baggage to end up at Akron. Hopefully he can get going now

Obviously not many people are going to the spring game but does anyone know what time it is? Had previously heard that it was in the evening but not sure if that has changed?

And in quite the contrast…there’s this down the road.

You really think people are there scouting players? My guess is that there are only family and friends at the spring game anyway.

Sad, I think we are about halfway through spring practice and there has been zero information about how it’s going. As usual nothing from the school but also no information Scoop on Akron Football is a tough task! from anyone on here. Getting any scoop on Akron Football is a tough task!

Agree, while it sucks on many levels I hear so many people mention how they love watching the “MACtion” mid week games in November. It really does give MAC teams a certain level of national exposure. Has it really changed anything for those institutions? Probably not, so the impact is definitely debatable.

So those 32 kids that go to the games will miss it??

Looks like no dates or times are set yet for the November MACtion games.

I’ve never heard that but you are correct - here is the Google answer to my question

Agree, I just don’t get the whole pirate theme….🤔. Maybe they are going to play some Florida league games in Tampa 🏴‍☠️ like previously mentioned??

What the hell does that mean? Hope it’s the schedule but not really sure how you interpret that being a schedule release? Edit - just noticed the 🏈📅!

Nice to see a little info: https://x.com/zipsfb/status/2034027028073066961?s=46&t=pkxH-CxvRVOLJ6Q8hd7_3A This article says that they play at UNLV - thought that was a home game?

Where was this posted? I don’t see it on any social media?

My guess is that is not accurate for two reasons, 1) This is probably coming from a graphic that was put out last year, showing the home and away schedules over the next couple years. Pretty sure that that graphic wasn’t even accurate for last year’s schedule . 2) although you only posted three teams Sacramento State isn’t on any of them. Although I guess it’s possible that Sacramento State doesn’t play any of those teams, but I still think it’s unlikely that this is accurate. I doubt that Akron would play Toledo, Bowling Green, and Buffalo, away two years in a row.

Got an email from the Booster Club saying that the Spring game is Saturday, April 25, not the 24th. Can anyone confirm?

Quit dragging your heels MAC, release the 2026 schedules. I’m sure the late addition of Sac State complicates things but surely they can get this done by mid March

I think that’s much more about budget than Adidas versus Nike

Does anyone know when Spring practices start? Sure would be nice to get some media updates on it but I doubt that will happen (as usual).

Here is their current schedule. It will be interesting to see if they try to get out of some of these games and fill them with MAC teams.

I wonder if they are even having a pro day this year?

Wouldn’t it be great if there was any type of media coverage of this team? So maybe a reporter, or even a student reporter, could ask the AD or head coach what they thought of this deal? Crazy to think that a D1 team would have even a hint of media coverage.

As always, great insight Catdaddy!

Is that Rod Smith, the ex Bronco receiver, son?

Interesting, maybe he committed and then got offered by Akron later in the day? D1 offer could quickly make him 0% committed? Actually it says “offer to play” sounds like a walk on offer to me.
