There are so many, but some that really stick out: My first Acme-Zip game back in about 1986 with a full Rubber Bowl. The 25 point comeback to beat Navy. The 2005 Mac Championship Game The Snow Bowl Game. Saying goodbye to the Rubber Bowl - It's still memerable. Opening Day of InfoCision Stadium with 30 thousand people. The Idaho Potato Bowl win. And many more.

I doubt he'll survive. Marcus was Charles' right hand man. I doubt Charles made any decisions without talking with Marcus first. The perception would be that you would just be continuing the same problem. If one goes, chances are high, that the other goes too.

Yep, this is the MAC. If the school is within say 4-5 hours, it's almost always bus, or buses in this case. And thing of it once you get to the hotel, you've got to make sure that the hotel has all of their food supplies, staff for dinners, etc there as well. Not to mention any of the support staff on the Buffalo end too. you still have the logistics once you are on the other end. After all, it look like several major interstates are still closed (as of 7:00pm Friday), how would the team even get to the stadium. So, could they have left 48-72 hours before the game? Sure. But that's only part of what it would take to put on a game at UB.

Yep, talked with the Equipment guys, his original jersey was ripped up pretty bad so they had no choice but to put a different one on him.

I say, any donations to the Equipment Staff! They do have their own non-sport-specific restricted budget. These people are the ones who have always been there through thick and thin. They show up a well before (any) team event, and stay long after the rest of the teams/coaches have gone home. I trust these guys with not wasting money on foolish items, or items on a coaches whim.... What do you all think? BTW, did you know UA has only ever had 3 full time head equipment managers in their entire existence? The first one was Porky Dudich(sp?). He was followed up by Tex Ritter for 10 years (and who just announced his retirement from Ball State after 29 years - makes him a 39 year equipment manager), and Kevin O'Connor, the UA's current head equipment manager, with 27+ years at the UofA....

The equipment and the team(s) rarely leave at the same time anymore. The equipment has to be ready to go on the off chance a team wishes to come to the stadium for a walk through, or anything like that. There are also several times where the team is going to a completely different location than the equipment truck on the day before...

Those same player benches are still around to this day. They are at InfoCision stadium.

Hauser has been hired as director of player personnel, at Illinois.

Good Point... about the "Something better"..... I guess the question becomes... how long to we wait? Yeah, that came across last night. I take it as a "maybe if I can't find something better." We can't even get a MAC OC to accept a job? Maybe no one wants to work for the leadership in Athletics?

I just got a twitter update that Loeffler said no. FootballScoop Staff @footballscoop Close More re: Loeffler to Akron...per sources, he did not accept on the spot. Looking at NFL position coach options. Told he'll decide soon.

I predict Tuesday. Reason being, if it is any one of a number of coaches discussed here... Some just finished up playing Yesterday (Saturday). So that leaves today to negotiate any final contracts, etc. Tomorrow the contracts would go up in front of Legal, HR, etc. A.K.A... It'll be a done deal tomorrow, just don't know when the contracts would be signed, etc. That leaves Tuesday to get the information out on the social media and anything else that needs to be done before the staff leaves for the holidays... Just my guestimate...

I don't think you will have to worry about that. But, if its a bad choice you will see the new topics "Who Should We Have Hired?" and "Fire TW Now" I think we'll see these regardless.

Seems there is a new name being mentioned over at football scoops. one Scot Loeffler, OC at Temple, and also a Barberton native... When also could be a reason why we haven't heard an announcement yet... He and PW are both playing their bowl games today... Interesting.

Reports are that he'll be a position coach, possibly TE coach. That being said, he'd likely be paid south of the $300k per our contract with him. From what I understand, we'd still be responsible for the difference. Or, if you were at Kansas, knowing he had 3 years on somebody else's nickel, would you go in and not pay him as much and let his prior employer pick up the tab? Thoughts?

I agree! If you search Google Images, you'll discover that the image used on GoZips.com is a stock image. There are ones also up there that could equally have been used for just about any of the coaches we will have or have had. Let's not read anything into the image just yet.
