40% of the crowd was OU fans. I won't attend another game until they do something about music volume. It's clearly not attracting lots of students, so why punish your other fans?

It's all about building an enduring culture, something Moorhead has failed to do. Sure, the portal is an excuse, but I've seen too many occasions where a player has done something blatantly stupid without being held accountable. Culture is the characteristic that has made OU successful - look at the coaching changes they have had in the past five years yet they're still at the top of the standings. Payers go there to get better and they receive the coaching to accomplish that. It could be that Moorhead never wanted to complete his gig in Akron - he was expecting a relatively easy turnaround that would catapult him to a higher level, better paying program. This, he never put the cultural foundation in place.

Amato threw a lot of shade at the Zips after they beat him during his tenure at NC State. Never understood why Zips fans didn't take issue with that when he was brought to Akron.

Virtually all head coaches start the season with a news conference praising their key starters and leadership, especially QB1. All indications are that Poff will not be playing at Wake. Perhaps there's still a chance for later games based on NCAA/court decisions. If he's out for the season, this is a MAJOR miss by the coaching staff. Inexcusable, IMO.

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.
