That offer list....sheesh. Wonder why he chose Kentucky of all places.

I enjoyed these articles. Beaven does a good job.

Jerome Lane is on the right track!

A ways to go before the giant is awakened, but the train is rolling in the right direction.

Looks like its for a different team in the same league as he was in last year (2nd highest). He kind of dominated the league last year if I'm not mistaken. Surprised he isn't getting a chance in the highest league.

Not an issue in my book. If the bottom feeders don't want left out, get better.

The MAC really needs to set up something with another conference similar to the ACC-B1G challenge every year. That would give us a quality game against a mid major of our caliber that would be home every other season.

Nobody wants to share the stellar OOC schedule?! #21Wins

I consider myself a pretty diehard college football fan, and I've honestly never heard of a single one of their players. This game seems ripe for the taking. Who cares about the program's history. I'll bet LSU stomps them for sure.

My thoughts are that this helps.. http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/23/wisconsin-losing-starting-center-dan-voltz-to-retirement/

Yep I noticed he wasn't listed as a GA on GoZips anymore. I saw him at Hopkins a few months ago.

I believe Dalton is a walk on.

Didn't we beat them 66-6 in our last 1-11 season?

Warren Ball looks like a weight room freak from the pictures I've seen of him.

Maybe Reggie can do a little recruiting on Trotter for us

It seemed like the players enjoyed themselves. I say keep at it!

Is he hurt? He didn't play last night either. I couldn't find the reasoning on twitter.

i thought this was a well informed and thoughtout preview http://www.hustlebelt.com/2016/8/20/12562720/2016-akron-zips-football-preview

I agree that this is definitely a winnable game, though it will obviously be tough. Another thing to note is that we have VMI in week 1. We should be able to keep things pretty vanilla and then catch them off guard with some stuff that they don't have tape on. An argument could be made that Chryst won't take us lightly, but I think you can make an argument that he might. After losing to Youngstown State in 2012, you would figure he wouldn't take anyone lightly. But sure enough he let Akron beat him just 2 years later.

Ohio's probable starting QB has apparently quit the team. http://www.athensmessenger.com/sports/ohiouniversity/bobcats-down-to-three-qbs-after-sprague-departure/article_ba93744d-36d8-5d42-abec-c575a2c6e83b.html

James King, transfer from Miami, is listed on the roster. However, his bio says that he must sit out 2016. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2016-17/bios/king_james_8jh3?view=bio

Thanks. After I posted it, I figured I was oversimplifying it.

This probably couldn't be anymore obvious, yet I just now realized it. If they are on the roster,I think its a safe bet that they are eligible. Ex. We know JoJo Natson was with the team all last year and yet he wasn't listed on the 2015 roster, nor were any other transfers that were known. http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2015-16/roster

That Miami board makes it seem like he was JUCO bound. Our roster mentions nothing of it and says he is a redshirt freshman. I'm guessing he came here right out of high school and had to wait a year to get his grades in order?

Well under Bowden we've had Avis Commack, Moses McCray, CJ MIzell had some FSU connection IIRC, and I'd imagine the FSU connection played a role in getting Brian Bell.
