JWood still owes me 50 bucks from a poker game.You can run all the way to the netherlands, but I won't forget Wood... it's written on the back of a business card in my wallet.

I agree with this. Non UA-related fans won't come to see games just because we're playing who WE see as rivals or good games. Face it, we need to win, and win often. Some of us have a hard time getting up for the last homegame in a 5 win season, AND WE'RE DIEHARDS!Joe 6-pack (god bless palin) isn't gonna give up his Saturday to watch a losing program just because it's a new stadium.We win to put butts in the seats, then they develop a closeness with the program and a disdain for our rivals, THEN they stick with us when we struggle and stick up for us at work when we lose to a strong BCS team down the road.I think that's the formula.

I understand the financials involved, but I too am getting tired of being involved in money games. When all we want is to win the mac and get 6-7 wins to be bowl eligible, why do we saddle ourselves with a sure loss. Be honest, as much as I want to beat the "big boys", we're not there yet.Replace Wisky with a cream puff this year, and we just moved to 4-2 and we're talking alot better about our team. Hell, not even a cream puff! Pump our schedule with more Cincys and Louisvilles, etc that we have a realistic chance at beating. Losing by ONLY a few to OSU last year was the best we could have realistically hoped for. I hate hoping for close loses, it kills any momentum and any pride that your team has.Figure it out financially, I don't believe we HAVE to get pounded on once a year just to make budget. Get some 8-4, 9-3 MAC East champs seasons under your belt, then play the elites.And futhermore, I know this is a contradiction to how some feel about our basketball scheduling, but the outcomes are different. We've seen us win 25+ games in bball and miss out on the dance, but if you win 8 or 9 games in football, you go bowling.

Great joke, but seriously... Bill Hwang has never missed a day of work in his life. (much to the chagrin of the Akron feral cat population)

Akron student tickets are sold out. They were selling general admission tickets to students when I was there. Zips will be highly represented.All I can say is wow. With fans like that who needs a rival? And seriously, why do they even bother with football anymore? Carducci does not have to include us in his pity party either.I'll take a rivalry with Pitt or Cinci over that. Let 'em move down to 1-AA.Sorry if I take this on a tangent, but I've been wondering: If we continue to improve, and do (please god) move on to a bigger better conference (cough-bigeast-cough)... and Can't State continues to decline... do we keep playing these bums?After awhile, doesn't playing them just validate them and make us look bad. We've beaten them, what, like 9 of the last 11 years? What if that continues? How long do we hold on to a rivalry as it dies with no hope in sight before we just take the wagon wheel and go home, or do we do that at all?

Hey hey!!!! I'm legit now. No checking from the moderators....Now, who wants some hentai links?

I'd like to come up with something witty or poignant to say, but all that keeps coming to mind is "jesus, what a whiny baby"

I like 27-14 Akron... I think Can't State might make a few plays to get them on the board, but they can't stop our "O". I'm eyeing 24-7 entering the 4th, with Can't getting a late meaningless TD.Additionally, I hope this is the start of something with Devoe. I had the opportunity to see him in person a few times in HS. He's legit. Redshirting? I don't care for that with a guy this talented. We should just enjoy the next 3-4 years with him. As some have stated, I hope our recruiting (and our program) is bolstered enough 5 years from now that we're recruiting his level of talent consistently and we won't have to worry about replacing him.

Now all Laing has to do is leave a Hansel&Grettle-esque trail of funions so the students can find their way to the stadium when they wake up at 2 in the afternoon.

I'll say this slowly for all the YSU fans....Nobody... cares... about... Youngstown.Pretty bad when the only way to hype your city is citing that a D4/5 HS matchup draws alot of people. Newsflush: there's great HS football being played all over the state. I played in a game that sold out Faucett, right here in Akron/Canton.Hyping your FCS school attendance when the only thing to do on a Saturday is go to the game or join the mafia isn't that impressive either.I can't stress enough that nobody is talking/thinking/caring about YSU. Just not happening anywhere outside Youngstown city limits (if it's hasn't been downgraded to "ghost town" yet).That being said, YSU still has a better program then Can't State.

Who takes out the trash then?Someone above their paygrade. Janitors drop off the trash at the landfill Can't fans call a town.

They let that pregnant girl from my high school attend.oh, also... they haven't forced me to work with any of their alumni at my engineering job.
