I watched Pete talk about this on Pat McAfee today. Hearing the explanation of how this would work, I'm going to agree with Pat McAfee - this is incredibly stupid business. However, the MAC should explore a variation of this. The idea Pat had would be to sell marketing rights where all the games are "Presented by (insert company here)" instead of outright naming rights.

Wow! 84 ft is ~double (if not more) what the current video board is. The new board will essentially take up the real estate that is currently occupied by 1990s advertisement pieces. Here is the comparison... This coupled with better sound management (we need to let the band play more instead of obnoxiously blaring music constantly) will be a big boost to the gameday experience. There is a legitimate financial commitment being made by a select group of donors to Akron Athletics. Very encouraging.

For any nerds out there like myself, this is some interesting stuff.

I can only imagine what her major is. My kids can go wherever they want, except Kent. I'd rather them choose homelessness - at least they won't catch whatever illnesses get spread throughout that 💩hole.

Having JD, Moorhead, and Ferri here has its benefits despite the W/L record not reflecting progress (yet).

Kaulig Companies Field at Leaf Filter Stadium.

Growth spurt alert.

UCONN coach Dan Hurley is expected to receive a record offer from the LA Lakers to be their next coach.

Stevenson's Nati SC just lost to Pat McAfee's CONCAFA SC. This TST is a blast to watch. Great format.

If I'm not mistaken, Bud Wentz mentioned that some sort of renovation is in the works for the JAR. There is legitimate money coming into athletics (baseball just got over $1M from the Skeeles family) and Guthrie stated "we're just getting started".

Incredible. I love the money coming into athletics. Gives me hope.

Come on JoeMo... Let's have some success so the staff stays together and we get Larry's son here!

While we wait for the OOC to be announced, one game we do know is the Sun Belt is at the MAC early in the season. Akron will probably have either App State or James Madison - both of which have new coaches and full roster turnover.

JD is really leaning into his relationship with Larry Fitz. His profile pic is also he and Larry. Love it. Let's get Larry Fitz to visit Akron.

This poll needs entirely redone. Linhart and Darryl Peterson need to be included. Cheese, Ali, and Ivey were technically guards. Chris McKnight and Treadwell were PF.

Ding ding ding. This is an exciting schedule for a competitive team. We saw last season that our defense can keep us in games with both Indiana and Kentucky. If Finley plays well, who's to say we aren't competitive in the games vs Rutgers & SC? Ohio State is what it is - thank you for the pay day.

Does this mean Bubba can come back?

They had to get their fans' minds off the March failures. Perfect distraction. Several other MAC schools only have 1-3 games announced, and I'm assuming it's the other schools announcing those.
