I believe Crew8 is bringing one, I have a small charcoal grill I can bring as well if needed.

The MAC should be looking into a merger with the Sub Belt Conference right now. The WAC wouldn't make geographical sense. If not a merger with the Sun Belt, steal a few teams from the FCS because if things don't change, the MAC could end up a FCS conference.

I made an error, the Michigan State vs Western Michigan game is not the last Big Ten vs MAC match-up. Akron plays Michigan State on Nov 2nd, which will be the only B10 v MAC match-up left in the season.

my contribution:

Take a look at the chart, Akron is only 30% of it. You can see that other MAC teams are beating the Big Ten.

We should all refrain from going at each other, and instead focus our energy in a united front against Ianello.

Comparing games between our geographical conference rival2 teams in the MAC have a better RPI than the top Big Ten team

New England is now in the market for a coach

So far there's nothing on Sinisa."The Impact confirmed last week that defenders Philippe Billy and Cameron Knowles, midfielders David Testo and Luke Kreamalmeyer, as well as forwards Ali Gerba, Pierre-Rudolph Mayard and Marco Terminesi will not be in the side next season."http://m.goal.com/s/en-us/news/2723409/

They are projecting 2 MAC teams for the tournament, when was the last time the MAC sent 2 teams to the tournament?

Could not find some stats from the minor leagues. I probably missed a couple minor league players but this was done for the MLS'ersThe Total column only includes MLS stats.

I think Caleb Porter should be involved in the selection committeeIs this a bait post? Love Porter and the soccer program, but he should have very little (if any) input on personnel decisions in other sports.the man knows how to win. He might be able to find someone that understands how to win in football.

Weather was the cause for the Penn State game, but temperatures weren't too bad for Hartwick. The casual fans will eventually turn into hardcore fans, the biggest change in attendance seems to be coming from the student section. I believe adding additional seating would help. Does anyone know the exact number of seating available for FE/CC? BTW, I overheard someone working the ticket stand say over 1,300 season tickers were sold. So at worst, Akron's attendance would be 1,300.

I love this picture!!!

I love this thread!! Pete Kwiatkowski or Brent Pease from Boise State. I would love to see them bring Boise's philosophies and mimic them here.

what do you expect from a coach that shoves his game plan up his you know what just joking, have a laugh

There is an alternative that is cheaper and more enjoyable. Heck, you don't even have to pay for parking. I would only go to a few soccer games here and there over the past 6-7 years but I converted 100% this year by buying season tickets. Have not missed a single game and have had more fun at the soccer games than I ever did watching football (except for the Motor City Bowl). I played football my entire life and have followed Akron football since high school. I even became a cheerleader for a couple years just to get closer to the field and be a part of the program. But soccer is now my new #1 sport. I'm not saying soccer is for everyone, but there are alternatives to find happiness with the Zips. BTW, basketball starts soon. If you want happiness, good luck finding it with Akron Football.

the story was on the front page of ESPN's side news yesterday

Point taken. I guess I should pay more attention.Just trying to be a little sarcastic with a poster who has posted the same thing for the last 4 weeks. I probably should have just repeated what we did last week...just provide what was for dinner (I know... is poor grammar)It's not easy being an Akron Football fan. A lot of us believe it's only going to get worse under Ianello. I've realized that we're stuck with him for at least another year or 2, and it's very hard to stomach. I understand you still have hope that Ianello will turn things around, but a lot of us don't. We have sufficient reason to blame this on Ianello.We are all passionate Akron fans here. It's not easy to do nothing when you know what's causing the problem.Hiring Ianello was a step backwards for the program and it's going to be awhile until we see a step forward.

Good News: Akron has not dropped in the rankings and we're still #182. Bad News: Youngstown State is ranked #135 and Kant State is ranked #164

What do your eyes tell you?They have clever accountants. Ticket revenues are up, but concession and parking revenues are most likely down.

You paying more attention in English class??Grammar smack is about as lame as it gets......sorry professor...apparently not everyone has the impressive IQ that you possess....his point it well takenthe team sucks, the coach is abysmal...and some posters are dbags When someone posts the same thing week after week after week I think a little sarcasm is justified. So...respectfully KMA"You paying more attention in English class??"You might want to ask that same question to yourself.

updated the first page with this chart: Attendance is up 13% over last year. Not sure if we're still ranked 2nd in the nation, I'll update those numbers later.

1st page is updated with this chart: Attendance is up 25% this year over last year.
