Many Ohio fans share that sentiment.

Ohio probably won't travel well. Many Ohio fans simply don't like this team and coaching staff..

Ignorant post. It was a beautiful, sunny day. Athens offers outstanding parks and other amenities. Lots of things to do.

They still had over 6,400 people in attendance for a mostly meaningless game. Miami at home next Friday should be crazy.

Yes he's a moron and a big part of Boals' difficulties this year. Bad locker room chemistry. I'd say it's 50/50 Boals gets canned this year. If not, he'll be forced to start over with an entirely new staff and roster. It ain't working.

Keith Dambrot punched one of his players on the bench when he was coaching Central Michigan (game was at KSU - I saw it firsthand).

Maybe 22 minutes; not 22 points. He's a slashing guard who struggles to score.

Best facilities in the MAC? You need to visit Miami's football building. And before you point to InfoCision, remember that an empty stadium isn't much of a recruiting asset.

According to The Athletic (via NY Times) today, Akron is the #5 worst NCAA BCS football head coaching job, based on limited resources, unappealing city/location, campus/culture, and academics. Kent is worse.

That public ivy thing was a brilliant marketing move. Not true, really, but effective. Miami isn't even one of the 59 or so R1 research universities, unlike a few other MAC schools. Unfortunately, Akron is (unfairly) considered a public nutsedge among many Ohioans.

As I suspected, it's BS. If you knew whom had been offered the job, you would tell us.

Well, then, by all means educate us! I call BS.

That's not true. I have knowledge of the process. He was their first choice but the AD felt the need to conduct a wider search before finalizing. Hauser, the interim HC (and defensive coordinator), was a finalist. Secondly, this situation has nothing to do with NCAA violations, etc. There is no vacation of wins -- you know how long it takes the NCAA to conduct investigations. It takes months if not years. The truth is the coach is embroiled in a very contentious divorce. My (educated) guess is that his spouse has made a claim that is serious enough to warrant investigation by the university. Could be she's being spiteful to try to ruin his career...could be there's some element of truth to it. Will likely know sooner rather than later. In the meantime, they've received all but 2 of their expected letters of intent today.

Let's be clear: Without Bud Wentz, John Groce is just another MAC coach. Remember, he never finished higher than 3rd in the MAC regular season at Ohio.

Yes, to warm the hearts of Zips fans, Ohio stunk up the joint against Wright State (at Dayton). Lots of new pieces for the Bobcats; not sure they fit together. Could be the end of the Boals era unless they make it to the MAC semis... BTW, if you've never seen a game at UD Arena, you really need to. The lower "bowl" of that arena would be perfect for Akron and would, in my opinion, be achievable through a $20-30MM investment in the JAR. Awesome sightlines from every angle.
