this could be a huge pickup . kd seemed high on the kid that is coming from glenville .he is 6-5 and would assume play the 3 spot this year. does anybody know if kd has drop someone now? there were some posters on here.you know who you were. post that big dog was not a d-1 payer

you mean the football team lack of post season. record leaves much to be desired .we won eight games in our best year ever.i know we needed a new stadium,but the jar is a dump.your not going to get any quality b-ball team to play there ever. it's amazing he gets any kind of talent to come to akron. given the dump we play in. hopefully the juco kid can give us some size in the backcourt.were not the only mac b-ball program that gets no respect.ou went to the sweet 16.did'nt help ou's program one bit. people on here act like no mac school has ever won any ncaa games.the ncaa is all about making millions over what teams deserve to be in the tourney.if we schedule more teams like nova they say we don't have enough quality wins.win 27 and they ncaaa will say we don't play anybody.given the state of our football team were stuck in the mac. we won 26 games one year and did not even make the nit.what does that tell you.it's all about keeping the $ in power 5 conferences for football,and b-ball.

there are some things that if we had a crystal ball. would have changed the b-ball program, and football programs. the rubber bowl was falling apart.the turf was in bad shape,and the players had to be bussed to the rubber bowl for practices. akron built the jar; which was needed as an upgrade to memorial hall. looking back if it could have combined the money spent on both. akron could have had a first class arena owned by the university.the football team could have use it for indoor practice. it may not have been as good as the indoor one the fb team has now. the football team now has a brand new stadium,and indoor facility.while the b-ball program is stuck with the jar.the new stadium had to be built,but if the b-ball team had new arena you might start to see some mid to high majors play at akron.

morris. kd has personally told you that he schedules easy home games he so can get a bonus for 20 wins. you guys sat down at kd's house for dinner in 2013.you gave him a direct order to win an ncaa game, or you are firing him. he is still here two years later so????????????? what happened.

bg gave up 60 TN, and 27 agasint MD. some people make it sound like ohio u,and bg are the OSU, and ALABAMA.im not saying they are not good teams.bg defense is horrible, just like our offense is bad.

so beating temple, fsu on the road we not big wins.both of them were on the bubble to make the ncaa tourney. the years we played them.

Bowden took over the worst program in d-1.we had the #1 defense in the mac last year, and still probably will this year.at some point we five seniors on the o-line that can't pass,or run block. instead of blaming the coaches for all the problems. the offense players need to start taking the blame for what's happened. if they were all freshman I could see them having problems. until we can start running the ball it does not matter who the qb is. we have had way to many drops by wr that were catchable balls.if we can't run the ball at all it does not matter who the qb is. we could always hire somebody like R.I.whos defense gave up 50 pts a game. hiring somebody new would mean losing any chance we have to have a decent program.we won't see any teams like ou,or pitt in mac play. need to start winning games by winning this week. bowden actually sat pohl out and extra game even though he was cleared to play last year.saying Bowden caused his injury is just plain stupid.

thanks for the info OU DUDE. my question is. everyone assumes we will be a two bid league every year. what if u-mass won the mac tourney,and we only get one bid? maybe they have bad year,and don't qualify for an at large bid.my point is the mac is taking all the risk. now we are splitting the cash 13 ways instead of 12.how many times in a ten year period would the mac have to get two teams in ncaa tourney to make $ sense. we taking on a bad football program which does nothing but dilute the football revenue. let me know what you think. OU DUDE.

thank's dave/ balsy for having my back.

we had go to guys this year tree/noah who are no longer playing now. noah comes back healthy.the kid from st.v's, tino, and I.V. should give us good backcourt play. i have no idea where reggie,and jake fit on next year's team? we also have the from kid from n.c. coming in next year.he should give us help at the four spot. hopefully im wrong ,but i just see jake/reggie more than role players next year.

POLL: How satisfied are you with the 2015 FB Class?

to say our talent level has not gone up is dumb satement. R.I. left tb one of the worst defensive teams in d-1 football.we had the #1 defense in the mac last year. thanks to the chest.this defense may even be better this year with the transfers. i could care less about how our rankings are.they don't take account the transfers coming in.we had tommy brown and pittman came in from OSU.both played well. pittman was four star player.marcus coming from osu was a three star player. coe was a four star player.the lb transfer from wsu was a three star player. you see teams from the nfl go from worst to first in the divison all the time. the reason usually is winning the turnover battle.the reason we lost this year is our offense turned the ball over,and to many penalites on both sides of the ball. the chest is doing his job on defense.tb needs to find a coach on offense to fix the problems.it would be nice have a rb that is not also on our d-line. maybe our qb had some injury problems, and should not have been playing the last few games.we need to get the qb position setteld in the spring.less turnovers/less penalites. then we will start having 8-4 seasons. -

akron was 10th in scoring,and last in time of possession. we still had the number 1 defense even though they were on the field more than any other mac team. how has our team suffered because we are bring in transfers ? I would rather have great player for two years than some kid in high school that may never play. I remember the good old days. we were only 7-6 when we won the mac.we have never won more than seven games in a season. I would rather forget them good old days. -
ou, Can't thave won games in the ncaa tourney.how has it helped ou . there b-ball progam is a mess. Can't has decent b-ball team. going to the final 8 teams did nothing for them currently. you must have missed Michigan playing NJIT,and emu.

quick zips, rooyahoo, zipgrad01 thank you for your support. sincerely, pat's BFF along with the mac (D-1 yes 1 not 2) men's- wmu b-ball team. we ain't buying 0-2 either!!! p.s. man do I miss the townhouse on a Saturday night. nothing better than when you drink beer at 18.

I keep hearing we don't play anybody.that's a bunch of b.s. akron s.o.s is 123 out of 351 teams. the only mac school that has higher s.o.s. is buffalo.when the kids commit to akron. they come to akron because we win 20+ games every year,and we have a coach they know is going to be here. how do think we had a commit from b.j. gladden. he had offers from wake forest,but chose akron.how did we get a kid from las vegas to come to akron.why would he become to place that's cold as hell compared to where he lived. he came because we win games and liked the k.d. the a.d. ,kd,or the pres. needs to listen to people on this board in person about the j.a.r. I don't have a problem with upgrading the jar.they won't listen to the fans though. the first thing is the internet feed. it's been a joke since they stared this. the internet has nothing to do with the j.a.r.not every fan can make every home game. we still would like to watch the game on the net.fix the simple problems first. you can't put a bathroom upstairs? if you have to go downstairs you could a few min of the game. when they have a good fan turnout for game.the downstairs is a cluster f at half time. you have the bathrooms,people getting gear,or food.the feeling I have is like having 100 people in my small apartment.my dad actually coach evans dad in 7th grade football. he was a great qb.my dad say's he is getting old when kids he coached kids are playing at akron u.maybe he will get to see akron win a ncaa tourney game before he passes away. l.o.l he is 74 and still works in the summer at a golf course.he has more energy than I do.l.o.l go zips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
