I am 6 foot tall. I can't throw a 40 yard pass, nor is my last name Moore. I can't play D-1 QB. Clayton Moore is a lousy QB. People can want him to be a good QB as much as they want Wistercill to be a good AD, but at the end of the day, you want it to be one way, but it's the other. Clayton Moore had more balls swatted back in his face in 2011 than Terry Pluto's favorite all-male gang bang porn. Is there a statistics specialist on ZN.o that can summon his stats from 2011? I bet they are pretty telling. Amazing that anyone can compare Kellen Moore to Clayton Moore. Why not throw Mary Tyler Moore in the fray too? How about Mandy Moore?

Should be Jeff Bowden as WR coach, and Tommy Bowden as OC! But really I'm hoping Jeff will come along and have a position on his staff. Really don't think Tommy would have any interest since it would be a big step down, but they did team up well for Auburn in the 90s. Can't really think of many good coaches that would consider coming here.

You know I actually like this. Honesty for Akron, do we care if Wayne is D2 or 3? It really doesn't affect us much. Also the three Michigan's shouldn't matter either. We're better than them as a school, we should have the attitude of "Who cares the difference, we'll beat them all." Similar to how we view the rest of the MAC in soccer, Memphis's attitude towards the rest of CUSA in basketball, Boise in the MW, and Butler in the Horizon. Do you think Porter cares about winning a MAC championship? I doubt it... Building our new stadiums (and hopefully arena) have already surpassed all other MAC schools to the point where we are on a whole other level. Only problem is the talent is not there yet...

Ohio will win, NCA&T isn't good enough to stay in it all game

Who cares? Dude went undefeated at a major college football program in a major college football conference. I don't care if it was in the 1930's he coached against top talent and won...why do we care about the era? Remember when people wanted Luke Fickell. Both scenarios were pretty close, since both coaches came in during a programs turmoil and inherited teams from the previous regime. Bowden went undefeated, and Fickell did nothing.

I'm interested to see what happens in terms of season ticket sales. I'm happy with the hire, but I'm still a little weary of what will happen next year. I know a lot of people around here will be renewing, but really I don't expect a big hike in sales. Unless we see a hurricane of JUCO recruits, including a Cam Newton type I don't see that much excitement from the general public. I hope I'm wrong, but this is what I expect. Also interested to see who he will bring in as assistants. Bring in his dad and brothers and I'm sold! haha

Does anyone know if I could find a replay of this anywhere online? I'd love to see Akron get a mention on PTI! It was part of the big finish. They said something like....former Auburn coach Terry Bowden hired by Akron. Is is a good move? In the last 24 games Akron is 2-22, yes it was a good move. this guy can win.

The only problem I see is Gerry Faust had all the same qualities when hired at UA. Could be Faust part. 2, I'm trying to be optimistic, but the bad luck we have with the football program is killing my spirits.

Are you kidding? McCoy was a 3rd round pick! That kid is not as bad as the media is making him out to be. I can't stand the McCoy bashing. People don't realize that the the Browns lead the NFL in drops, and the o-line is terrible. Not to mention prima donna Hillis in the backfield and first season in a new offense, he had to learn without a proper preseason. How many QB's would do well in the scenario? Not many especially one in only his first full season...

Do you live under a rock? haha

I was told the silhouette was actually Paul Winters', and due to a reduced Marketing budget we were forced to find a coach whose head dimensions were identical to Paul's. Man, did we get lucky. The silhouette was just from google. Run a image search for "silhouette" and you'll see it a few times. I know you were joking, but I don't think a silhouette would cost any money haha

17 minutes ago? just my guess glad to see the part in his hair matched the silhouette...did they know the whole time? hmm

On a day when Pitt also has hired a new HC. We are old news the minute that happened, even if our hire happened after. No matter what they will overshadow us, since it is a bigger school in relatively the same area.

failed social media experiment. If they wanted to use social media to beat everyone to the punch, theyre only about 5 hours late to the fight. Such a useless marketing department effort... We have a great marketing department. It's just the fact that it has to be "safe" for them to post the announcement. It's not UA's fault that the information got leaked so much sooner. As long as it got people to follow on facebook and twitter, it was a good idea.

It seems like UA is really dragging their feet now. 3 hours ago was the tweet from Zippy, now 90% of Zips fans know. How much longer til an official announcement?

If there is one thing to be said for the 90's...at least we beat Can't and Temple a lot We seemed to handle Can't during the 00's too, but the 10's not so much. Best of luck to Terry Bowden. I think it was a decent hire, but much better than Winters or Campbell or anyone else realistically mentioned here. Hopefully he can save our program and take it to new heights! With our luck, probably not...but still there is a little bit of hope now

Akron REALLY needs to cut down on turnovers and giving the other teams open 3's. We could have beat A&T and YSU by 40 points had we covered the perimeter. On a side note. It's really disappointing seeing Can't, Ohio, and Buffalo have such better records. We are the best team in the MAC, but because we didn't stack our schedule with cupcakes we're stuck in the middle.

He was probably just listening to Frenchy and Dunn. I don't see it as that big of a deal, and I'm sure if it were KD or one of the other coaches would have said something to him about it. Having graduated from UA a few years ago, I consider myself part of the same generation. Something older generations might be bothered with is just common practice now. It's not like the guy was sitting at the end of the bench ignoring everyone and playing angry birds on his phone. He wasn't going to be playing and if he wants to listen to some music. You can still hear whats going on when wearing ear buds. Hell I used to have headphones on during lectures and was a B average student. Not to mention pro athletes tweet during games! Even a high character guy like Scott Fujita has been tweeting during the past few Browns games, since he has been sidelined with his injury. Just give the kid a break. Don't judge him by saying he doesn't care of is low class just because he was wearing headphones...

I'm guessing this is supposed to imply that they would be seeking revenge from last year? dang good fight! losing by almost 30 points will sure teach us a lesson! we probably won't be seeing much from this guy in a while...either that or he will show up flinging excuses but quite frankly a blowout shows that we are on a completely different level than YSU

Who cares about Youngstown State?

same part?

+1 Listening to the announcers, I believe this is what they said about all four teams WSU has beaten on the road: 1) St Cloud St hadn't lost a home game in 15 games 2) Nebraska-Kearney hadn't lost a home game in over 2 years 3) Defending national champion Minn-Duluth hadn't lost a home game in 17 or 18 games? 4) Winston-Salem was, of course, previously undefeated Wow! Have they mentioned that it's Division 2...it's kind of important

Like to shuffle this just a bit. 1. unnamed candidate -- if he is who I think he is. Most of you will be very pleased. 2. Narduzzi -- excellent choice. 3. Johnson -- long shot, a really long shot 4. Winters -- now revealing why I place excellent coach Winters here. MODERATOR EDITED If you're implying that #1 is Campbell I say heck no. He shouldn't even be on the list... Being an assistant at Toledo is enough reason not to consider a guy. People around here don't even want a BCS coordinator so why would you want a MAC coordinator...

TW's draft board should look like this 1. Johnson 2. Narduzzi 3. unnamed candidate 4. Winters

Yeah CSU just pulled this one out of their a**...oh well 3-5
