Nice write up by EA. So much for no "overhauls" according to GT. Still say Woodson will be the back up over Pohl with the offensive change. Bummed about missing the game.

I mean I'll agree with you if you can provide a reasonable explanation as to why presently students would pay nearly 4x as much to attend UA rather than a community college if their plans are just to transfer somewhere else. Doesn't make any sense to me and I haven't seen it from my experience. I'd say it depends on major, but UA has done very well for me.

1 of Bowden's proclaimed 5 or 6 transfers this summer. If you're an RB with an offer from Bama, you're most likely a great talent.

As far as I remember, Martel wasn't even a starter for the Zips. However, if he gets drafted or even signed, then props to him. With Ike and Troy retiring, they need all the help they can get. As much as I hate Pitt, I feel if they shored up their CB positions, they would have been much better in previous years. I don't understand the neglect.

I'm well aware of multi-accused rapist's record vs the Browns. I know Mike Pettine is .500 vs him and that's all that matters now.

I think you're thinking a lot more students come to Akron just to transfer somewhere else than there really are. I mean if that's their sole purpose, why would they go to a state university and pay high tuition rates instead of a community college? I know more people who have transferred into Akron rather than the other way around. Seems *most* that leave Akron leave because they fail out and end up at a community college because they have nowhere else to go. I haven't seen many use it as a stepping stone. In fact, I only know one person who did that, but know many transfers that came from the likes of OSU, Toledo, LSU, and even international universities.

I just found it ironic that you were making a joke about Browns fans being let down over and over again when we deal with the same thing as Akron football fans every season. I don't see anything pathetic about "trash talking" your biggest rival. Its what people do. The Browns lost at Pitt by 3 and then beat them at home by 21. I think they've proven they can take them down.

Looks like it will happen eventually as long as the event doesn't die. I like it. Wonder if we will rotate with the Horizon teams or play Can't 3 times in the regular season some years?

No. To put it lightly, Akron football fans don't have any room to talk.

I think this is worth sharing http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2015/04/university_of_akron_slashes_co.html Not sure how I really feel about it. It seems like a great way to attract students, as for the type of students I'm not sure. The credit hours would be half the price of local community colleges. Seems like such a deep discount could devalue the degree.

Weird seeing trolling of the Browns from an Akron football fan.

I'm well aware that you blindly back KD on every decision he has ever made.

I couldn't give a shit about B1G basketball or OSU basketball, nor did I mention anything at all about OSU in my previous post. Please keep going on with your weird infatuation with them though. "Getting exposed and destroyed by a bunch of Freshman". LOL. You mean the freshman who won the national title. 3 of which are going pro (most likely in the first round)?

I'd rather not have complacent coaches on staff.

If so, I'd rather have more aspirational assistants on staff.

lol its convenient you left out that two teams from the B1G made up half of the final 4. Maybe if the MAC champion didn't lose/get blown out most years the committee would give them a better look. Doing something in the OOC besides losing against average power 5 teams at best (let me know where Penn St finished this year) would help as well. If you're good enough, earn it, then prove it. Nobody should get handouts. People were crying about UCLA getting in over the likes of ODU and others this year. UCLA made the sweet 16.

May have is a possibility that I won't argue against. What we do know is that with a bad defense and a supposed great QB/offense, we failed to win even ONE game against FBS competition. I also know that you don't necessarily need a great D to win/compete in the MAC. The conference is notorious for high scoring games with little defense. Hence the term "MACtion". In 2012, NIU ranked 75th in the nation in total D. Akron ranked 88th. NIU lost one game in the regular season and went to an Orange Bowl. Meanwhile, Akron won one game. Dalton did a nice job in his year here. He also had the benefit of having 4 years of familiarity of a system while the conference had to learn on the go vs the offense. I think he's a little overvalued on here.

Summary: Turned it on just after the comments about QB unfortunately. Thinks we can have a very good starting 5 on the OL, but lack depth. will be looking for transfers over summer. Special shout outs: Lavaughn Guatney (sp?) on o-line. Not sure if that has been mentioned on here. Austin Wolfe.Mentioned Marcus, Coe, and Monroe as being game changers. Seemed highest on Marcus. Talked about schedule. Made a point about us always playing our P5 OOC opponents tough. Which we do. Talked about NEO being the base area. Said local interest is ramping up (see the 300 JR recruits on campus last weekend). Also mentioned south Fla Spring game: game scenario. 1s vs 1s. 2s vs 2s. Juiciest part: Have been talk to 3 or 4 transfers that we don't know about. Expects 2 or 3 of those to join after spring. ADDITIONALLY looking to add another 2 or 3 more transfers on top of that.

Bowden on 1350 now

I would guess he also not only broke, but shattered the pass attempts record. That has a lot to do with it. He wasn't a bum, but if he was above average, we wouldn't have went 0-fer against FBS competition, especially in the MAC.

Simple offenses aren't that uncommon in college. That's one reason many struggle adjusting to the NFL. Also, DW was far from a "stud".

Yes.

I thought its been established on here before that we are moving to an Auburn like offense? FWIW- I like EA. Whether you agree with him or not on a lot things (I remember people took issue with his hype of Mizell last season), his opinion seems pretty polarizing on here.. Not cliche, boring fluff while trying to be funny like GT. Regarding running backs, I am a huge fan of Hundley in short yardage situations. I like what Lawrence does when he gets the ball as well. He is a strong runner for his size and gets down the field. Its too bad he can't hold onto the ball/stay healthy. I hope Alexander prevails as the every down back. Looking forward to reading all of your recap's Saturday.

Not really going out on a limb here, but I'd bet Bobby Hurley will have more tourney wins in his career than all current MAC coaches combined. He can coach.

Just your typical GT HOT TAKE
