Heck we could still schedule Can't and Miami out of conference.

Nobody cares about Rice, Tulane, UAB you are right. Nobody cares about EMU, CMU, WMU, Ball State, etc, either. Now imagine hosting a ranked Southern Miss team in both sports. Marshall is still obviously a decent rivalry. Look past the "interesting matchup" part of it and look at the quality of play. Nobody gives a crap about the teams we play now or they'd be at the games.

Southern Miss is ranked in both major sports. ECU is very solid. Marshall. Tulsa is a very nice program. I'll admit the new MWC is terrible, i forgot about boise leaving. But if CUSA was looking for new schools, i'd be thrilled if akron was picked.

It's a whole lot better than "the MAC with more travel"

Don't underestimate the C-USA with the MWC as it's partner. Basically one big conference.

Hopefully no one is taking these as insults or anything but suggestions. I've mentioned the "clique" thing before but it just got everyone po'd so I didn't wanna be the one that mentioned it lol. The perception, at least, is that it's been the same 15 or so people sitting near the band for the past like 5 years. Don't they have to graduate at some point? Anyway, there's definitely enough students at every game to fill those seats, so something needs to happen. When they were all together for the Can't game (albeit, the highest student turnout of the year) it was a great atmosphere.

I'd argue that is because their run defense was so bad, but that's a different place & time

They should just make the first 200 or however many ppl fit, sit down low.

This is embarrassing

One step at a time

Awesome. I thought rpiforecast "forecasted" RPI and didn't have a live feature liek this.

Any chance you'd be able to find a student attendance number for us? Just curious how many actually go and don't sit down low

Akron gets plenty of students at each game. they just don't sit together.

Updated as of last night's games. Added Oral Roberts since it is of interest now. edit: apparently the site doesn't update on Sundays so these are yesterday's rankings.

He's got a really good arm, runs the spread too which is awesome.

25 schollies times 120 or so 1-A teams? Well anyway, I hope you didn't read my post as anything against the kid. I'm excited to get someone that threw for 3700 yards in AAAA and was POY. He's also 6'4" , which surprised me...thought he may have lacked size which would lower interest. And apparently he has Ivy league smarts too. If it's all true, we got a hell of a player.

First football team on the moon!

In years past, our mental lapses would have caused us to lose to teams like NIU, EMU, BG, Toledo, etc...now they only cause teams to come close to us. We're okay, this team knows how to win.

Man some of you guys are miserable. I'll take a 7-1 record 11 times out of 10.

Hey if he can help us get out of the MAC, let's go!

Yeah okay. Put Tyrone or Aliquippa against Central Catholic, Gateway, TJ, etc (this is just Pittsburgh btw) and see what happens. Some great players have come out of AA schools, but the best schools are AAAA for obvious reasons.

Man, Can't State fan(s) must hate us lately. All this attention and winning must get annoying. Go Zips!

Yeah but, like, he shouldn't be in the "rough" ...3700 yards, thirty some TD's. PA State co-player of the year. AAAA, not Single A. It's not like he's the Wyoming player of the year. Doesn't even have a Rivals page? Does he have SARS or something? I'm glad we got him, his videos look great, I just don't understand the lack of recruiting for him.

I have a hard time believing the first team AAAA QB is walking on anywhere. Unless this kids got some issues.

Right but, if they only count tickets sold, wouldn't the Can't State game have been 5,500 announced attendance?
