you know what, now that LeFevour is no longer a MAC rival, I wish him the best of luck. How lucky to be able to play for the team you grew up watching. I expect him to compete for Cutler's starting position within a couple years, especially if Cutler has a year like he did last year. I don't understand why guys are making fun of him here. We should want conference members to make it to the NFL. It brings cred to the MAC. We need all the cred we can get the MAC. thats exactly what i'm thinking when i'm reading all these posts saying he sucks and making fun of him

i'd rather go 3-9 every year for the rest of my life then have akron drop down to FCS. i would rather go to my old high school teams football game if they were playing FCS teams every game of the year. i'm not trying to down grade the FCS but i'm pretty sure akron is way better then that. all right they had a few losing seasons but under Coach I's direction we're going to be very very good. if not this year or next year it will be the year after that. you can't have a coach come in and try to fit the players that are here to fit into his system (that don't) and expect to be undefeated his first year or second. it's going to take 1 or 2 years but we will be ruling the MAC

Zips -- Move to CUSA tomorrow if at all possible. i agree with you completely.. the MAC is not that great at football.. at all. you can argue and say Central Michigan was in the top 25.. but 1 team? and i don't know my MAC history but it's probably the first time in a long time anyone in the MAC has been in the top 25. If there is a chance we could move up into another conference then i say do it now. but i don't see that happening with us going under .500 every year. we play teams like Indiana and Syracuse who are terrible for the rest of the NCAA football teams but we some how seem to lose those. we need to win in the MAC first to think about trying to play in what could be left of the big east with actual good teams.

it doesnt even matter if the big ten expands.. it wont have anything to do with akron what-so-ever. they arent going to go in the big east nor C-USA

I bet Bailey is in the mix because all of Akron's fullbacks are learning the position. I doubt Ritossa will be ready to get reps as a tight end at the college level. From his bio online, he appears to be a perfect candidate for a redshirt (awfully thin and needs to increase his speed and strength). It scares me to think that we are hoping/relying on true freshman to arrive on campus and compete against grown men. My bet is on Cunningham helping us in pass defense and Bizzaro returning kicks. i think there will be a lot of freshmen that will come in and play when they arrive in june
