Great opportunity for a big win. The D needs to play tight with no mistakes to get a result. Creighton are prolific!!!

Yes, Georgetown lost on the road 3-2 to Maryland. Great crowd for that game. I watched on TV. Maryland is VERY good!

This is another great opportunity for a quality win. Hope we can find some goals tonight.

I entirely agree! I was sharing a common historical perspective from 20+ years ago, not trying to project my dream or preference for the future.

I remember when it was proposed that comments were being made about us becoming a Boise State as a result of the top of the MAC facilities. It was expected by some that attendance could soar, and as a result, the stadium was designed with it being expandable in all four corners, making it ~50k seats. Oh the irony!

21-7. This game is over. I'm done. We'll finish the season 2-12. We beat Kent, maybe Buffalo. That's it.

It's unbelievable how bad MAC football is. Most weeks it is a game of not beating yourself as badly as the other team does.

The lack of discipline is appalling. That's why no one is here. We beat ourselves if the other team isn't capable of doing so.

Punting on 4th and goal from the 38...what a loser play and mentality! Rather than punting, roll out to the strong side of the field to buy a few seconds of time and throw it up to the end zone. At best you get a luck TD, at worst its incomplete and it is turned over on the 38 on downs, but never underestimate a MAC teams stupidity in being unaware and making an INT, which is just as good as a punt but with the possibility of a TD.

With WVU at #23 and us having the lead at the time, it is a shame that game didn't get to play out to conclusion. That could have been a really nice road victory. And with Army and Butler both sitting at 150+, those ties feel like losses, especially given that both were at home.

And because of Western getting smoked by Boise State, their outcome against Michigan will likely not have any national significance, granted it's still unjust and a major missed opportunity for Western.

And yet if they had lost even one of those games, interest would have disappeared like a fart in the wind.

That might be true in games with equal midfield control, but against teams like Army and Butler, there is no need for a fourth defender at the expense of not having an additional attacker. I'd rather us try to push for a win and risk a counter attack loss than continue with the status quo in hopes of scoring.

What have we been playing? Perhaps if our defense is so solid, then a 3-5-2 might create more scoring opportunities with an additional attacker?

I watched a good amount of UMass's first game against Rutgers. UMass was dominant to the extent that I chalked up their game versus us as a loss. They are legit. It seems they made the coaching hire that we've been seeking for 25+ years.

I initially started to write that Wake Forest is on our schedule too but then realized all these matches featured one opponent that is/was. The bold text is confusing.

Next Friday we find out who this team really is.

Central Michigan had a nice win at home over Wyoming. And of all the MAC teams playing B1G teams, we were the only to surrender less than 54. Makes 41-7 look decent, but we were better than that.

I did too. Best season in D-1A ever in terms of wins and our only bowl victory under him. I considered mentioning this but didn't want to stir up any more controversy.

Accountability and discipline. You don't see these things happen with excellent coaches, regardless of the talent level. It is accepted as normal at Akron because we've only ever had bad to mediocre coaches for the past 20+ years.

We didn't get beat that badly by better talent. Big mistakes were the difference between this game being competitive versus not. That's coaching.

Fwiw, I was having the same thought at that moment.

It is my understanding that UA does not collect more revenue from out-of-state students. It's just that out-of-state students have to pay what would otherwise be subsidized by the state for in-state students. That is, the revenue per student is the same, regardless of their state of origin.

Now move the game from Thursday to Tuesday night and add a much earlier sunset, much colder temperatures, and stronger potential for bad weather, and that's the attendance handicap created by MACtion. Also, tonight's contest between Pitt and Syracuse is a bit of a Haley's comet moment in terms of its rarity...it is a game of P4/5 teams that have both been defeated by the Zips! 🤘💪

Solid road win! Awesome to avenge last year's NCAAT loss and to claw another one back in the all-time series.
