It didn't take long after the season ended. He had one year left on his contract and had a record of 84-99. This probably would have happened last year had the Cardinals wanted to stomach the money. Great guy, but struggled to get the wins. http://themacdaily.com/cardinals-part-ways...h-billy-taylor/

After another good week, Akron is still No. 1. The Buffalo game was a little scary, but it shows the greatness of MAC basketball. Any team can win if things are going the right way. The Zips did a great job of rallying and staying perfect in the MAC. http://themacdaily.com/two-teams-vie-for-t...power-rankings/

Are all about the Zips! Akron and Ohio are probably the only two legit contenders right now for the MAC title, and Akron has to get the nod. UA has the depth, the talent and the experience. Plus, that win down the road was an epic performance of how a great team vanquishes good foes. The sad thing to me is that after just 4 games, you can basically wipe away the rest of the conference... http://themacdaily.com/zips-bobcats-look-l...arly-favorites/

After the two years he's had in Can't, it's not a surprise at all that Hazell is leaving for a BCS team. The official announcement will come at 10 a.m., but the Flashes are right back where they started two years ago. The great news IMHO for Akron is that Bowden is every bit as good as Hazell. With a little time, he's going to get UA back to Detroit. http://themacdaily.com/hazell-accepts-purdue-job/

On paper, Miami looks like the more talented team today. But the Zips have been playing much better football this year. Akron should come out today and surprise the RedHawks, getting to 1-0 in the MA. http://themacdaily.com/breaking-down-saturdays-mac-buffet/

Ohio is still on top, but there was a lot of movement behind the Bobcats. Northern Illinois jumped Toledo and Ball State almost did after both teams beat BCS teams. The real problem was at the bottom of the table. How much movement do CMU, Akron and EMU deserve? In the end, the Chippewas moved up to No. 10 after a good finish. http://themacdaily.com/ohio-welcomes-all-challengers/

Akron was a pretty good team last week, and IMHO, the Zips should have won. Bowden will get his first win at UA today, in a thrashing of Morgan State. http://themacdaily.com/gazing-into-week-3/

Other than the game I was at (EMU vs Illinois State), it was a pretty good week for the MAC. The league went 7-6, and had three FBS wins. Plus, Ohio is a legitimate threat for the Top 25. Here are five thoughts from yesterday's MACtion. http://themacdaily.com/mac-teams-continue-growth/

TMD's opening night MAC predictions are out. We've got Akron falling to Central Florida, 31-14. Bowden will turn this team around, but it's going to be a tough opener against the Knights. http://themacdaily.com/opening-night-predictions/

Evan Meyer spent several days last week watching Can't State practice and chatting with the team. The Golden Flashes have had quite the battle at QB and are still struggling to find consistency with their running game. It should be another good Wagon Wheel game this season! http://themacdaily.com/Can't-state-takes-the-next-step/

Akron's not going to be wowing the nation, but this is better than a one-win team. 3-9 seems realistic, and if things go well, 5-7 next year.

Hot off the imaginary presses! Evan Meyer breaks down every angle of the upcoming Zips season and sees the building blocks of improvement. Bowden is doing everything right to turn this program around and give UA a team it can be proud of! http://themacdaily.com/?p=1112

As TMD continues to rev up for the season, we wanted to put out our bold predictions. You can mark me down as saying that Akron will get at least four wins (and maybe even five) this year and will finish the season with a bit of momentum. I'd call that a good step in the right direction. http://themacdaily.com/?p=1058

Akron starts the year 12th. But, I don't think that anyone has done more to improve itself than the Zips this year. Akron has a vision and a goal. In two years, this team could be in a bowl game. http://themacdaily.com/?p=1027

To me, with the current format, it spells disaster to any non-BCS team. Would a Boise State or TCU have ever made these playoffs? I can't imagine so. With four teams going, it's going to be two SEC teams, one Big Ten or PAC 12 team and one Big 12 team, year in and year out. The whole thing seems like the worst money grab and moves the MAC into second tier in its own division. http://themacdaily.com/?p=978
