Franklin is just such a machine. Never seems to wear down. Him or Woodside for MAC OPOY.

I'm not starting a new thread, but @Captain Kangaroo's favorite ref, Amanda Sauer, is on duty tonight for CMU/WMU. Already a cluster****.

Cardale Jones should be tearing up the NFL with that logic.

I have not seen a single person dispute this.

So we're going to average 15k attendance this season.

Obviously long shots....but MAC -C and bowl game to add. Get your cup of joe in you skip!

Forget where I read it, but I read somewhere that the BCS would have put the same exact teams in the playoff most, or every year so far.

Miami seems right there with Buffalo talent wise. Some nice players. A good WR in Garner and a few QBs that can play. I don't know much about Ragland's injury, but I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back against us. Just seems like thats how it goes at Akron. I think they might be down 2 starting LBs vs us. One got hurt and left early in the game, I don't think he came back. And then the ejection late in the game. I would imagine he will be at least suspended for the 1st half. OU looks about the same as they do every year. Them getting Rourke really saved their season IMO. We can beat both but need to play well.

My thoughts are right there with you.

That was a man's run by Alonzo Smith there. Bahl looks talented (makes sense as he was highly rated for a MAC recruit), but prone to making some dumb decisions.

Rourke, for those of you who don't recall, is the QB that OU beat us out for. I think after that is when we went after Johns. He's had a pretty nice year after taking sole possession of the starting job around week 2.

I am offended.

You know that is just....a prediction....right? I don't really know how you can argue with it too much if it does end up being the case though. They have a great win over PSU and a "great" loss.

What was the attendance then? And never say never...I remember an ice bowl, vs Buffalo I believe, a few years ago.

I would guess Akron and the MAC have about as lucrative of a deal as they are going to get. They got lucky and signed a nice extension, IIRC, before all this crap hit the fan. There is a reason for all the weekday games. $$$$. If it wasn't worth it they wouldn't do it. I forget who it was...either a team or a conference. I know I shared the article on here and I'm guessing it was C-USA, but their contracts are a joke and I BELIEVE it said something about starting their own streaming service. I wonder how that is going or if it is even up or running yet.

The camera shoots were definitely crappy at times. I don't think that is going to depend on your service provider. Usually when passes were to the lower part of the screen, you couldn't tell who the ball was going to or what happened until the play was basically over.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

There was only one East Division game last week

I will be there if we make it, but I'm not pumped at the thought of most likely getting throttled by Toledo again. They should be ranked within the next week or two.

I'd say there are really 39 in 2017/18. The AFR Celebration Bowl is between two FCS teams (MEAC/SWAC).

Important to note they weren't really splitting time Saturday, at least most of the game, considering Alvin was ejected early. It is good to see them both play well though. I've always thought George was more of a natural SS or (or even a smaller LB like Bischof) than a corner, although I do think he would probably be a better corner than Butler. I really don't know who we have behind the #3 CB though...

Funny you bring up safety play. I was listening to the pregame show, and Detweiler said he was glad that George has been moved to safety with the loss of Guiser, because it was apparent that teams have been targeting a player not to be named. I assume he was talking about Featherstone, but I feel Featherstone has largely played solid, as with Davis. Just didn't get that comment from him.

I care. They should be held accountable for their shitty work and we deserve better as a fan base.

Wow. What a d-bag.
