  1. There is plenty of blame to go around but Finley does deserve some. I remember several times he had a surprisingly clean pocket and made some really bad throws. QB’s get hit, it’s part of the game, you don’t just get a free pass to play poorly just because you’ve taken some hits. Not trying to pick on him, I think he has a lot of potential and has shown that he can play well but he deserves blame for playing bad.
  2. Well, OSU, USC, and Rutgers are not playing at Akron. Very rare any P5 team plays at any MAC stadium. I get the point but no, the AD does not hate the football program. That’s a little dramatic. The football program is the only thing keeping the athletic department afloat.
  3. I feel like this team just isn’t really improving. The defense does still show some promise but being on the field as much as they were, in that heat, and against that team, it was just a matter of time until the wheels came off. The offense is still pretty much a disaster. Finley looked terrible, he missed so many easy throws. I still say they need to establish the run. It actually was working some but Joe just kept going to that horizontal passing game. Looking forward to playing MAC teams but it will not be easy. Several MAC teams on this schedule played with the P5’s so much better than the Zips. I hate to say it but I really only see maybe 2 more wins coming.
  4. Yep, heard they are yellow buses. Need to buy saddles for the equestrian team
  5. Books about the War of Northern Agression
  6. Pretty good dose are sarcasm when he says “the department gets to pay some bills, the equestrian team gets some new saddles, everybody wins”
  7. My take on this game: first off, it’s great to get a win, no matter how ugly. Now, playing like that I just don’t think they could win another game on their schedule except maybe Kent. It seems like we’ve been talking about muffed punts and unsportsmanlike penalties for 3 years now - it’s maddening! It just keeps happening. Are the coaches just not addressing it aggressively enough or are the kids just too stupid? They STILL need to find a way to establish the run game. Passing too often with this offensive line is a recipe for disaster.
  8. It’s an F’in rule- pretty simple. Do you think it’s just up to the interpretation of every official …c’mon man!
  9. Could someone please just kick me in the balls, it would be much more enjoyable than this.
  10. Looks like they are going with the all blue and gold helmets.
  11. Wow, just looked at the seating chart for tickets available. Looks like a grenade could go off and nobody will be hurt. 😞
  12. How does that work? Do they make initial grades and then go back and do a second review and adjust?
  13. Agree, probably just seems louder because it echos off all the empty seats. The “get off my lawn” crowd needs to lighten up!
  14. Well you’re a stealers fan - your opinion doesn’t count!
  15. I think if this ends up being another 2-10 season (God forbid) I could see him walking away and doubling his salary with a P5 OC gig.
  16. D1 gives 85 scholarships
  17. It’s pretty depressing seeing these other MAC schools complete while Akron keeps looking like bumbling fools. BG gives Penn State all they want, NIU beats ND etc. I was feeling optimistic but now it’s feeling like another really long season
  18. Way too many drops!
  19. I don’t understand that one!
  20. Akron has zero NIL. Pretty much the entire MAC has no NIL
  21. Oh GP, we have this debate before. Your stance makes zero sense!
  22. This looks like a political “they aren’t paying their fair share” argument when in reality no other teams (except maybe men’s basketball) are paying their fair share! They lost their training table? Please explain
  23. Ok, this is a big step forward. He’s got on Akron gear this time - granted, it’s the old script logo but this is a move in the right direction! Maybe we still need one more big check from Rutgers to get him totally updated. Seriously though, thanks for posting this, it’s good to get some insight on what is going on with the program
