IIRC we also got Simkovich over MSU. That would be nice to get another.

End of discussion.winning is fun, although if you're in a bad conference and you are winning, it's always in the back of your mind... but we aren't even dominating (yet ) so the whole discussion is moot.Let's start kicking some arse, and then let's b1tch about the conferenceI agree. But the problem is that UA, in both football and basketball, loses to teams that they have no excuse losing to.This happens over and over every year.Then when we start putting a few wins together, all of a sudden some think we are much better then we really are.It seems like every year some on here are saying, well we lost this game, but if we can win the next one. Then after the next game it's the exact same thing. We are 3-3, if we can win the next 6, we can still finish 9-3. Then we end up finoshing 4-8 or 5-7. It's the same thing every year.It's the cart and the horse theory. Akron can't go to a better conference, because we aren't even winning much in a crap conference. Very few top recruits want to play in the MAC in front of 8,000 when they can play in a BCS conference in front of 50,000 or more.There are recruits that would rather sit on the bench at a major program than start at a MAC school.Just the thrill of going through that tunnel into a packed stadium is a dream for some guys.

His dad went to quite a few different boards begging people to look at his son and saying his son was interested.

Homonyms, isn't that the nasty vegatable that is a cross between corn and lime beans?

I can hardly wait till he's hear.I here that he will arrive soon. I also here that he has a hereing aid...

Harris was never a very good HC, but he has been a great assistant.

Harris looks to be the QB coach. Montgomery the OC. That's the way I see it.Wow, this is unbelieveable. Those are 2 name guys and they are coming to UA....I wonder if this is a lead in to JD being gone after 2009 if things don't turn around.It looks like we could have the next HC on the staff.

Just think if we got Payne there would be a lot of great names we could call the front court.First would be the Marshall of Payne...

Yep.

Those teams would get crippled if they played a D-1 team. Physically crippled. If you thought the 65-0 beating of Hampton, w/65 scholarships, was a tragedy, wait til you saw Duquesne vs. Akron. 100 points might be achievable. By halftime.True, but which team would have 100?

So would McLendon

Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

They are probably saying the same thing about Akron.

I am surprised by Shead. I thought he would get some playing time and be in the rotation starting next season.

From what I can gather, the 3-3-5 isn't going anywhere. Tonga is going to play the Rover position. That way they don't have to change the name of the scheme. Everybody wins.Hans Christian Andersen is calling it 'The Emperor's New Scheme.'From what I've heard they are looking at a 3-4.I'll take it.

Cap does a good job. If I was wearing a hat I would take it off for him...

That would be nice....

Wasn't Alexander Mr Y, and Henderson Mr. X?I cant remember... with all the activity today with recruits I lost trackHow can we have an X and Y without a Z. Aren't they supposed to be a trio?I thought this was Mr. ZIsn't it obvious he is Mr. A?

Looks good. If UA doesn't switch to a 4-3 now, there are issues.

5'9" SG sounded a bit odd. Now it makes sense.

Someone has some racial issues going on. That explains a lot.

I hope so too... if he choses to come here, and is okay with those images/graphics, Im totally going to use one as a poster when the kid starts playing... hahahato JohnnyZip & UAZipsMan - I apologize. I felt somebody stole my thunder and it hurt.No Harm No Foul. Obviously I like the kid. But come Wednesday "the Tonganator" will hopefully become just a cog in the machine of a very strong roster of studs, affectionately known as the {new 2009 Akron ZIPS "MAC" Truck}, that I really beleive will crush Penn (or at least beat decisively) and go on to win the MAC conference and gain new respect with a victorious post-season bowl game. Just MHO. After all he does got those "monster hands". Ps – anyone in the near future thinking of making a home purchase, please contact me off the board. There are still plenty of good deals to be had! I am obviously missing something with the man hands things...Oh well.

I agree with that. Nice choice if true.
