We haven't scored since this. Go away. 😅

As much as Akron has been peaking, Creighton has not. Akron looks like a squad that wants another crack at Georgetown.

There are 68 P4 squads, correct? That's 136 open games and there are 69 G6 teams. An Independent program would remove the scheduling headaches of working around a conference schedule throughout the season. $750k a game would be $9M for the athletics department. Even half that would be around double what Akron gets for their MAC/ESPN share. Unless the new deal significantly improves the per-school revenue, it's every man for themselves. That's why Miami OH, Ohio, and Toledo are in every conference realignment discussion. More and more schools are going to be looking to get creative. I'm semi-joking about going Independent and being the Mississippi Valley State of football, but what is the point in being in the MAC with its low ceiling in this new landscape - both financially and athletically? That's the main point/question I'm getting at.

Theoretically, what is stopping Akron from going Independent in football and playing 12 pay games to fund the athletic department since there is no meaningful championship to play for? Sneak one here and there while our basketball, soccer, baseball, etc. programs thrive.

Stoked for this game. Need it - gotta break through the proverbial Big East Tournament ceiling.

The core is Tahj, Evan, Pence, White, Hammer, and Oriol. Burton likely joins that group when he's back. Chabi, Perkins, Marvin, and Zach are the support group and Head will join that when he's back eventually. 10-person roster at the moment, eventually 12-man. It's easily deeper than anybody in the MAC and the goal early on is to figure out where the scoring comes from without Tahj. There's plenty of it on this roster, too. Hard not to be excited.

Is JoeMo fired yet?

Every loss is one step closer to JoeMo being gone. Dilly Dilly.

Saw that post-game and the game itself makes a lot more sense. I still don't agree with celebrating the rings/banner on a non-D1 game.

BUGS beat CSU by 16. Former Golden Flash Rayvon Griffith led all scorers with 26 for the Vikings. BUGS has 2-3 legit scoring threats.

17 at the half and Akron is shooting 53% from 3P. I hope they pull Tahj in the second half. Team needs to figure out where the scoring is going to come from without him or Mahaffey.

62 or 51? Didn't realize ESPN was tracking the score, and they have 51.

Score?
