Poke takes the contact and still gets it to go down! Still need to work on that FT though Love the effort by him.

Reghi with the night off I guess. His replacement just called Appy State the Warriors.

8 games into the season and KD has the Dukes at the 5-3 mark. Zero wins against a team with a pulse yet, including losses to both very average inter-city rivals. He should win out the rest of the OOC, as it was literally filled with low-majors outside of Pitt, Robert Morris, and Cornell. I have a feeling he will be in for a rude awakening come conference play.

Seems like a great way to handle it really. I have to say I am pretty bummed. Had planned on going down to FL for the game, but most of the group planning on going were unable to get off of work on such short notice so it fell through. I suppose I will have to make a special trip to Akron and watch the game where I watched the last bowl victory - The Score. Speaking of watching the game, has the U organized a watch party???

Tempering my expectations and going 16-19. Would love to be wrong and us to get 20+, which is certainly possible as the team should gel better and you'd think the freshman would improve throughout the season.

How the heck did Poke score 24 points. I'll take it!

Make your freakin FTs Malcolm!

IPFW seems to have a disproportional amount of white dudes on their team. They are the Wisconsin of Indiana.

I just have to say I love a coach that takes timely timeouts and doesn't attempt to allow his players to "play through it". Lets get back under control.

3 of our commits this year also reportedly have offers to FAU. Current D1 (FBS) Offer list for each commit: Timothy Scippio - Akron, FAU Rich Hall - Akron, FAU Keyondre White - Akron, Army, BG, Buffalo, FAU, Illinois, Louisville, Minnesota, USF, Syracuse, UAB

^^I'm surprised you were able to get a picture of him without his shades on. But really, I do love his attitude/engagement. It is definitely noticeable. I hope he is utilized so that he can contribute in a big way next season.

I'm not sure I would advertise that.

I'm not sure how talented they are (outside of the RB) after only watching the C-USA Championship. The tempo of their offense is most definitely cause for concern. Late subs and getting set late have screwed us many a times this season. Similarly to Toledo (twice now), we can't get down multiple scores early. Let's hope the 3rd time is the charm. You play the game for a reason!

Akron has not apparently shown any interest yet. http://www.medina-gazette.com/News/2017/12/04/Baughman-flooded-with-D-I-football-offers.html

I don't have much of an opinion, but this may be a guy to keep an eye on. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/7464807/59cbcf633df5b835005bc30f

Especially when you consider most of the likely candidates would have either been in Detroit or Huntington on Saturday. Well I guess just Detroit as there aren't any likely candidates on the basketball team now.

I'm not sure I buy that, unless we have different definitions of what a super awesome bowl is.

FAU fans seems a little full of themselves for them historically being one of the few programs about as bad as Akron in their D1 time. They are no Toledo. If I was an Akron fan i would LOVE having our bowl game be at home. I hope the coaching staff and players have the same attitude towards it as they do.

I thought the same, but was looking this morning and it doesn't seem too cheap anymore. It looks like Allegiant pulled out of CAK?? Right now the cheapest option by far looks to be to fly into Fort Myers from CLE, rent a car, and then make the 2 hour drive to Boca Raton.

Can't say I really know much about FAU outside of Lane, their record, their loss to Buffalo, and the fact that they seemingly have half of the Last Chance U players on their roster. I don't think the C-USA is too tough though...I would like to dig a little deeper before I go around predicting results. I doubt most of us have really watched them play, either.

Came here to say something similar. The rest of the MAC is most definitely jealous of our bowl pick. The fact that it is a home game for FAU is a bummer, but I can't imagine a higher profile G5 vs G5 match up, mostly due in part to the Lane Train. Big opportunity here for us to go down to FAU and pick up a big win in our target recruiting area. Can we take advantage of it?

LOVE IT!!

The funny thing is that he is assuming that 16k is real and there were not tickets given away that weren't used.
