Daaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnniiitttttt!!!!

Hmmm...maybe they just threw in a couple 1AA teams in this ranking..http://rivals100.rivals.com/teamrank.asp?Y...5&Type=0&Sort=0

I read somewhere that Western Kentucky to D1. Anyone know the other teams, and to what conferences they will be joining? I can't find the link but I believe 1A will be adding about 7 teams. I do know that Western Kentucky will join the Sun Belt Conference.

Devo Torrence older brother is going to Columbus hopefully we can get him.

Dude that is bad ass!! Keep it up!!!

What's his name and what school did he attend. Sorry to lazy to search for you past post.

I still don't see how dividing the few fans we have solves anything?

CLASSIC!!!!!

I guess what I should say is that Harvey to me was just as sure handed as D. Hixon, it was everyone else that had multiple drops in the passing game. I just feel like the O-line and Running game were the biggest problems. Even if we had Hixon this year we still would have Getsy spinning to avoid sacks, and Kennedy coming back from his injury a different person. Hell Terrell Owens couldn't have prevented the ass whipping we took from Can't or Western.

I honestly don't think we missed D. Hixon that much, Harvey to me is just as good if not better. He gave the Zips big returns practically every game along with a score,...but the tackling and running game was not there.

oh man I thought that team was going to be great!!!

Bravo! Bravo! I agree 110%...IMO the jury is still out on JD, I think the potential is there (ie games against NC State) but potential without results gets you (ass kick'n by Can't, Western Mich, and OU, and no MAC title or atlarge BCS bid and an empty Rubber Bowl the opening home game of the following season.

I have asked several stores why they don't carry University of Akron apparel, and received a reply I don't understand and am not sure that I believe, but it was the same answer. I was told that several years ago the University "took over their own brand marketing" and that to purchase the right to sell Zips apparel was just to expensive versus the amount of sales. Huh????? Does anyone know who to ask to find out if this is true?

You should send a note to his teacher asking when is Akron day!!

Look I am from Massillon Oh, born and raised went to the University of Akron. My point when comparing Columbus to Macedonia is the fact that Soccer is waaaay more popular down here compared to up there! And no one attends the professional games here so my question is what makes people think the will have a larger attendance in a location where there is less people I understand Macedonia is not on an island, but you can't compare MLS to the NFL or NBA it just isn't as popular here as it is in other countries. I agree this is a waste of taxpayers money.

hahahaha! The logic people use amazes me sometimes.AsIf Macedonia was an island isolated in Lake Erie or something!Okay, Macedonia is between two cities. But, perhaps unlike Columbus, those cities themselves (while the densest population) are rarely the prime ticket buyers for pro sporting events. Go to any Cavs, Indians, or Browns game, and you will find suburbanites in the seats. This phenomenon might be even more exxagerated for soccer. So, if you move out into suburbia, you actually get closer to your market. Macedonia is between TWO cities, but in the prime market for both. Ahhhh! Now I see said the blindman with the deaf dog!! Boy now i feel stoopid!!

F.Y.I. I live in Columbus and not to long ago Columbus Crew members were going door to door trying to sell discounted ticket packages in an effort to get more fans to come to the games.During the 2005 season the Crew experienced their second worst average attendance since 1996 due to a poor season record.The team has three major supporters' groups: Legion 04, the V-Army, and Fort Knox.Their average attendance * 1996: 18,950 * 1997: 15,043 * 1998: 12,275 * 1999: 17,696 * 2000: 15,451 * 2001: 17,551 * 2002: 17,429 * 2003: 16,250/Missed Playoffs * 2004: 16,872/15,224 * 2005: 12,916/Missed Playoffs * 2006: 13,294/Missed Playoffs * All-Time: 16,344And the Macedonia soccer team wants a stadium how big?Columbus has a population much larger than Macedonia, what the hell do ya think is going to be the attending amount of people there?!

I agree....a little. I understand where you are coming from, and you may know more about this than me but. I think this is only an issue if it is built within the same fiscal year. Most companies have funds set aside for donations etc, it's a tax write off. People nowadays donate if they feel the need is just. Tell me if I am wrong but I don't see a company that has a chance to advertise their product or logo on a newly built on campus stadium. Not because I already gave to the soccer stadium so I am not going to donate to the university

And this is good news how? Just curious do alot of people agree that a new soccer stadium will effect the universities plans to build an oncampus stadium. I honestly think that even if we have unsuccessful seasons the university will build a stadium. I think success will only dictate stadium capacity. If we have another mediocre to poor season - a 25K stadium sounds just right. If we have the kind of season that we should 9 and 3 or better then the stadium should be around 35 - 42K. and of course all able to expand to more.

Actually that is wrong. When they agreed to originally move to the West they had it in the contract that they would be the first team given the opportunity to move to the East if a shift ever occurred again. They like the East better as it puts them in the division with another rival, Miami, who they wouldn't necessarily play every year if they were in the West. Since the UT/BG rivalry is so big they know they will be playing us every year no matter what division they are in and they like the idea of a possible UT/BG MACC Game someday.With Temple joining I fully expect the East to have 7 team and the West to have 6 teams. Remember, Temple gives us an odd number of teams. If we expand again, then that expansion school could be put in the West, or maybe at that time they will ask BG to move to the West again if they bring in a school like UMASS or something. UMass?Where did you pull that one from?

This is nice!!! Just repaint the stands Blue and Gold and the would be awsome.

I like that design, a cover over the stands!!! Man that would have come in handy during last years Can't game. Instead of frozen soild i would have just been freezing.

2 Questions1. Besides Marshall, and Central Florida who was once but no longer a conference member.2. My original question did AKron and Can't reject YSU from entering the MAC, and if they did how?Please and Thanks,
