GoCats

wow! when did that happen??

I think coaches in our first 10 games might have thought of that. Its not a secret we don't have much of a passing game You can say Austen Everson is the worst QB in college football, and on paper, his stats aren't great. But, he is a tremendous leader and he does a great job of controlling the game. He is also very tough and is not afraid to go on the run and get hit. The best thing about him is he does not give up the ball. He does not make bad decisions. I can understand why you say that about him...but I'd be interested in what you have to say about him after you see him tomorrow night. PASS DEFENSE G Att Cmp Int Pct.

Right now the local forecast isn't looking bad. No mention of rain.Evening (7:00pm-Midnight)49° to 53°Wind SW-S 15 mphIt will remain breezy and cloudy. Temperatures will hold steady around 50. Winds will be 15 MPH from the southwest turning from the south as the evening progresses.

For some reason we give visitor fans some of the best seats in the entire stadium. Most visiting fans will be sitting directly behind the Akron bench. The seats are on the 50 with chair backs.There is a chance of a sell-out. 4 or 5 years ago there was a little different circumstances. This is maybe the biggest football game ever for OU. The Athletic Department has been promoting it quite a bit for the past week. There was a full-page ad in the newspaper. A lot of radio and TV spots. And Rufus (our new mascot) went on a motorcycle ride around Athens yesterday getting people excited . If the weather is halfway decent... I can see it being close to a sell out.Good luck Thursday... but not too much.

Hey guys, I'm coming up for the game tomorrow. I'm lookin forward to it. From the sounds of it, there are quite a few of Bobcat fans comin up. The Ak Rowdies better show up so they don't get shown up by the visiting fans on national television. Tomorrow will be a statement game for Ohio to show people that we're back and we're still the #1 team in the MAC.Good luck tomorrow

I think your kinda missing the idea of a "Jinx" Akron thread.
