  1. 4th best time in the semifinal heats.
  2. 126 points. Good call. Edit: Utomi led with 23 points.
  3. 1st impression is that the whole team looks like it has some length. That might just be relative to the team from the Bahamas, though.
  4. Movin' on up to Purdue

  7. If they had ever bothered to finish the Innerbelt connection to 76/77 EB, it wouldn't even be much of an issue.
  8. Added Callaway. Do you know something we don't about Bridges? I only see him as having an offer.
  9. KC with the longsnapper scoop... http://www.hudl.com/video/3/1435879/5721d3380428ae20e4cf9e46
  10. Once again, absolutely no reason for casual fans to attend a home game until MAC season. But keep complaining about low fan support.
  11. 6-9 225lbs, Offers from BG and UT-Martin.
  12. App State is getting overlooked because, despite winning 11 games, they're the third toughest non-conference game on our schedule, behind road trips to Wisconsin and Marshall. As far as what kind of team Akron is, here's a (very) general overview: On offense, our QB was a pleasant surprise last year after starting out as the 3rd string backup but there's a lot of room for improvement. Our RB is a big question grad transfer Warren Ball from Ohio State is expected to be the feature back. The WRs are fast, talented, and deep. The O-line is a patchwork of transfers and youth with some talent but it's kind of an unknown. Defensively, the DL is good and DE in particular is the most talented position on the roster. They will make your QB's life miserable. LB is a massive question mark, but the DBs look pretty good. Most importantly, this is the first Akron team in a decade that's going into the season with confidence and swagger. Terry Bowden has them believing that they can beat anybody.
  13. To help you get pumped up, here are an ABJ article and a Terry Bowden interview with NBC Sports Radio. www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-football-coach-terry-bowden-exudes-confidence-despite-personnel-losses-1.700451 https://audioboom.com/boos/4868027-terry-bowden-has-turned-akron-into-a-force-in-the-mac
  14. They recently got a food truck.
  15. The 27-month notice thing isn't enforceable beyond a fine for breaking the contract. Besides, Any team moving to the Big 12 would see a revenue boost higher than the penalty in their very first year in the conference. A one-time $12 million penalty won't deter anybody when you're talking about getting over $20 million more than you currently make, annually.
  16. James Madison would be a good addition (for football, not basketball), provided that the MAC could not get another FBS team from the Sun Belt or something. And only then if the MAC had to replace somebody else. Absolutely no need to go beyond 12 teams, and ABSOLUTELY NO MORE FOOTBALL-ONLY SCHOOLS.

  18. I'm not worried if that's the case. They'll probably me more enthusiastic, and more creative.
  19. Akron T&F now has THREE former athletes representing in the Olympics, with pole vaulter Annika Roloff representing Germany.

  21. "UA Board of Trustees severs ties with executive responsible for increasing enrollment, failed 'polytechnic' rebranding"
  22. University of Akron shows off corrosion research center
  23. http://m.thesuburbanite.com/news/20160702/plcc-forms-partnership-with-university-of-akron "Under the agreement, PLCC will become a satellite campus for the University of Akron's fire and hazardous materials training. The university will have two full-time personnel on site at the PLCC campus."
