Vermont vs Marshall... The world is healing. Screw the Suckeyes.

Boise isn't a G5 brand. It also sets up for a Jeanty/Hunter battle for the Heisman which creates more viewers.

Travis Hunter won the Biletnikoff Award for best WR. Meanwhile, San Jose State's Nick Nash was the WR Triple Crown King this year leading the nation in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and Receiving Touchdowns. College Football delivered the proverbial "nail in the coffin" message to G5s with their awards: they don't want G5s anymore.

Harold Fannin Jr loses the Mackey Award to the Penn State TE. Fannin Jr had either the 2nd greatest or THE greatest season in TE history.

According to 247, he had 2 offers - Kent and Eastern Kentucky. So often in Ohio these types of accolades don't yield much FBS-level interest. I'm sure he made the right choice as Kenni Burns and his staff have a track record of coaching up their players...

Just wait until they start saying God declined the offer for them. "I was very blessed to receive an offer from (insert school), but God has other intentions for me. Recruiting is still open. #Blessed"

Bill Belichick to UNC. Welcome to professional sports.

If the new AD wants to get a buy game on the schedule, swap out Duquesne for a P4. That is a move I'd be ok with. Do not touch Wyoming or UAB. Nebraska, Wyoming, UAB, and another P4 would be a fun OOC schedule. The fascination programs have with FCS/DII/DIII programs in football & basketball for "wins" is baffling to me.

I would be embarrassed if an Akron student wrote an article with so many statistical/factual errors.

In other news, the softest football program in the country resides 1.5 hours southwest of Akron.

And to be fair, I would've rooted for any G5 team (except Kent) to beat Notre Dame. It's not like NIU being the one to beat ND did anything for Akron.

@zippy5 nailed it for the most part. They're still a solid G5 football program, but they aren't the 11-12 win dominant that they were from 2010-2014. NIU isn't a draw for fans, it's a PITA to travel to, and they absolutely SUCK at basketball which is the one sport the MAC can actually profit. It says something that the new Mountain West isn't even interested in NIU's basketball program. NIU would be stupid to accept the MW offer, but it would be a good thing for the MAC to allow for more competitive schools in basketball to become members.

Ignore the quote. New plan. Since we have Kaulig, we need to harness the Chernoff/Antonetti system of being successful with a low budget. Zips need to figure out how to become a coaching wagon and establish a system that wins.

That's an All American Ohio State level name for a DE or LB.

I wonder what kind of deal Pinky made with the ABJ to have the article written in this manner. Hopefully Kent has a NIL deal with a cosmetics company for all the lipstick needed for this pig (and Pinky's rosy cheeks/clown makeup). "They are third in the MAC in scoring" Based on what metric? They are currently 325th in the country in Points Per Game at 64.6. Only NIU is lower from the MAC with 62.8 ppg (335th nationally). "fourth in 3-point percentage" Again, what? They are shooting the 3 ball at a 28.4% clip, which is good for 317th in the nation. Only WMU is lower from the MAC at 28.1% (321st nationally). In fact, coming at this article from a positive offensive standpoint at all is erroneous on all accounts (to quote the AK Rowdies). "How are the Golden Flashes doing it?" It ain't by offense, ABJ dumb butts. Offensive National Rankings... Effective FG%: 343rd Shooting %: 349th Personal Fouls per Game: 305th Lastly, citing bench production on offense as a key for Kent is incredibly disingenuous. Kent has failed to score 70 points in 4 out of their last 6 games (all vs G5, and all but 2 ranked 200 in NET), including a 39 point performance vs. UC Irvine. Their offense blows, and one of their main bench players is seemingly only coming off the bench as punishment for failing to stick at Furman (Jalen Sullinger), as he was their starting PG last year and an All MAC Tournament team member. If the ABJ wanted to cite Kent's defense, this would've been an acceptably positive article as Kent's defensive metrics are quite good (albeit against lesser competition as most of their opponents are 200+ in NET). The ABJ can reference this source the next time they want to try to polish the turd that is Kent State. Also, they should think about changing their name to the KBJ - Kent... You fill in the rest. z.i.P.S. Kent has a typo on their website under Jalen Sullinger's page. "2022-2024 season" The epitome of "failure".

Looks like he already has an offer from Oklahoma State.

MAC offseason coaching changes so far... Ball State OUT: Mike Neu (Fired) IN: Mike Uremovich (Butler HC) Central Michigan OUT: Jim McElwain (Retired) IN: Matt Drinkall (Army Assistant) Ohio OUT: Tim Albin (Charlotte) IN:

College Cup: Denver, Vermont, Ohio State, Marshall Go Denver, Vermont, and Marshall.

By 13!!!! That'll help our NET. Congrats to the Red Wolves.

But don't worry, Commish is focused on the right things to turn the conference around. I really hope he continues to crusade against flag planting and gatekeeping the MAC from legitimately competitive programs. I really don't understand the reaction to Albin's move. Lots of people on Twitter claiming it's a lateral move. - AAC is a far superior conference, especially financially. Their TV deal is worth tenfold per school what the MAC is getting. - Athens is to civilization what college athletics currently is to the word "stable". Good for Albin getting his family to a nicer, warmer climate for double the money.

Lol. Dude wanted to get to civilization.
