Blue & Gold

Any mistakes LePear makes won't be for lack of effort.

The Captain's correct. The early signing day is December 19th this year.

Still getting his feet under him. I was hoping he'd get in, but we had a chance to win it so it seemed Groce rode our starting 5 a bit more than usual. I hope that doesn't come back to haunt us tomorrow & Wednesday. I think Utomi played what, 39 minutes? Oh, to be in my early 20's again. Lol.

I've got to make a couple of appointments tomorrow, so do we know a definitive game time for tomorrow yet?

Got another one! De'carleon Townsend. He's listed as a LB, but is probably coming in as a safety or an athlete. His Hudl highlight video is 10 minutes long & features a ton of great hits & also a bunch of nice runs from the RB position. I listed him as a LB on Post #1.

It really wouldn't stream at all when I was attempting to cast it to my tv. It was still freezing on my laptop :/

I won't be heartbroken if Bowden stays. But if Milwee is still OC I won't renew my season ticket. It's really the only thing I can do to make my displeasure known.

Agree. We loosened up & warmed up offensively in the 2nd half. (So did Clemson, however.) We needed Utomi to hit a couple more of his 3's.

No

I saw the number rise to 2.4K.

Mine was freezing up, Idk, I'd say every 2-3 minutes. It took a lot of the enjoyment out of watching the game :/

7:30 in the morning & the 'Meister's already cranky

Shirley, you can't be serious. If true, both the team and the coaches know there's a change on the horizon.

The women's team has started out strong under first year head coach Melissa Jackson. They're 3-0 w/ 3 convincing wins thus far 49-36 over North Carolina A&T 85-65 over Oakland 77-60 over Northern Kentucky Here's an ABJ article following the win over Oakland: Megan Sefcik leads Zips to big win The article states that, even though Coach Jackson had been an assistant coach at UA under Jody Kest, she's changed some things both offensively and defensively & that, fortunately, the girls have all bought in. “The transition’s been smooth,” Jackson said. “The kids have made it really easy. They’ve bought in to everything. We’ve completely changed our offense. The defensive principles are different.”

Well said, Lee. (Though I still give Bowden a pass for year #1.)

Here's Camron Reece putting down a damn-nasty windmill

Sunday of the following day and Duquesne, not Akron, is still the feature story on the homepage of AkronBeaconJournal/Ohio.com :/

Ba dum tss

Too late for that?

This is the tension I feel. I like our defense. I've liked our defense for years!!! This defensive staff is a good one. But what do you do when the head coach won't make the changes on the offensive side of the ball that anyone with half a brain sees as plainly obvious? It's absolutely perplexing, irresponsible and downright disgusting. Bowden's stubbornness is taking a great defensive staff down with him.

Agreed. It has devolved into this situation. It took Bowden too long to act and now it's too late. An adult (Larry) has to step in here. Sadly.

Bowden refusing to make the obvious move on Milwee has possibly cost this entire staff. Disgusting and utterly irresponsible.

Not only do we have far and away the nicest facilities in the MAC, but possibly in all of G-5 football. On top of that, Akron is literally the epicenter of one of the nation's true hot beds for high school football talent. Why can't we be the Mount Union of the MAC? For the life of me I can't figure out why we aren't already. Just hire Mount's OC, for crying out loud. It isn't rocket science.

Agreed. I'm tired of hearing Bowden talk about the "parity of the MAC." I don't want a coach who continually points out, "Behold! All the teams are virtually the same!" I want a coach who says, "This is a below average conference from top to bottom and we're going to make each and every conference member our bitch." Again, I'm getting on Bowden when my real beef is with Milwee. Our D's been pretty stout for 6 years now. Our O? Not so much. It's beyond time for a change.
