translation: I have nothing. I've made my point.

cant go wrong with any SVSM player in my book. Keep building that pipeline. Refreshing to see a hometown kid call us The University of Akron as well instead of the all too common "Akron U"

Also caught on TB's last show that every single freshman redshirted this season.

Really not about to go around this debate again. While getting wins over any P5 team is always nice, you guys need to realize that maybe 1 of the P5 teams we've played this season are going to make the tournament. Quote me on it. BTW- Miami wasn't even a guarantee on the schedule, we got lucky that we played our toughest opponent of the season. They weren't even picked to finish in the top half of the ACC. Luck had everything to do with that opponent. Scheduling one, maybe even two regular top 25 programs if we are feeling REAL daring will not hurt anything. It gives us a chance to get more money, which people are starting to use as an excuse all of the sudden, get a premiere win..so you know...our whole season doesn't come down to one fluke game (two words: at-large), gives us a chance to see how we stack up against a similar caliber team we will be playing in the tourney (sorry, we won't play MTSU or NDSU if we make it) and make proper adjustments if we lose, gives our program national spotlight if we do knock them off (we have only ever had negative national spotlight), gives our team a confidence boost with a big win/close loss. If we get blown out, who gives a damn. I'd rather get blown out in a meaningless game and learn from it than lose by 50 and set some tournament history records (and not the good kind) to a team who loses the next round. Literally the only negative of stepping up and going on the road and playing somebody is that we have a more likely than not 2.8% less chance of getting to that prestigious 21 win mark. Pros far outweigh the cons. I expect at least an effort for continuous improvement. You should too.

I'm looking forward to our premiere OOC matchup against MTSU.

EMU just notched a bigger win than KD has had his whole career at Akron. Play somebody already.

I'm not sure it can hurt. Not pleased with recruiting or WR play.

Zero? Maybe one the year they went 6-6?

About as favorable as a schedule the MAC can wish for. Don't get me wrong, those teams are far from pushovers, though.

I might be inclined to order something from Felt and Chenile if it didn't have a 1990s site setup. Cant find anything Akron on there.

11-7 after beating the first place Raptors last night. Now on a 6 game winning streak.

...and this. Sorry, but soccer isn't going to make or break us joining/staying in any conference.

Have any links? I'd be interested in reading about this.

Have nothing to say about that guy, but being a casual follower of Mount/OAC/DIII football, I do find Buffalo's hire very intriguing.

I do not have much of anything specific to add. I lived right across from the stadium when I was in school, so usually had my own little tailgates before games. What I do have to say is that Akron fans should be put together. We don't have enough support to give priority parking to people who can afford to donate $2500 or whatever. Scattering the fans at random lots all over campus looks bad. The tailgating scene is depressing compared to ANY other D1 football game I have attended (not a knock on any of the regulars, you guys are awesome). I would love to be a regular tailgater. Unfortunately, I am a lot more passionate than most of my friends, so they want to see that it looks like fun before they will make time to go. Lets get this fixed. Maybe start charging premiums to park in lot 9 once we actually have some real demand. Remember, UA is a non-profit.

100% correct.

They also have the same first names... I saw something about this posted before, but it looks like UAB is indeed planning to shut down their program (looks like so more money can go to big brother). All potential recruits would be eligible to play immediately... http://deadspin.com/report-uab-to-shut-down-its-football-program-1664885691?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow

It's worth noting that this was the OSU's player's first season playing football. Before that, he was on the wrestling team. Its not clear how many concussions were received for football vs wrestling.

never heard of them.

Thanks. and Deon'Tae is on the roster. Just missed him at first.

One name is slipping my mind, but I was looking at the roster the other day. I did not see Junius (came with Newman Williams from SVSM) I did not see the DE from Buchtel we got at the end of recruiting last year Normally I'd right this off as them being redshirted so they arent on the roster, but guys like Kincade, Marcus, Alexander, and Williams are all on the roster... Anyone know anything about these guys?

Thats awesome!

Look, the season was disappointing for me as well. I forked the money and time over to go to Penn State. Watched us get our asses kicked by Marshall, lose to putrid Ball St, Buffalo, and even worse...Can't St. Saw all of our losses. But if you have nothing that you can look at to make you step off the ledge (Pitt win, hot start, actual hype around the program for once), I don't know what to tell you. I'm not happy with 5-7, but I sure as hell like it a lot better than 1-11. Speaking of 1-11, maybe Ianello left this program much worse than we ever could have imagined? Has any other program every gone 1-11 3 straight years? And please don't take what I'm saying as being an apologist, I'm just not as much of a pessimist as you all. In reality, we came up two wins short of what most people predicted. Big whoop. Does one more win make you feel better? It didn't mean anything. Most likely weren't going to a bowl, and even if we did win and get picked, we would have got our asses kicked. Our starting QB was out for 2 of those very winnable games that we lost. The team lost all momentum and never recovered. It happens.

But the Browns suck and are in a playoff race and beat the hell out of Pitt and Cinci this season and just ditched their horrible 2012 draft pick after only two seasons!! They clearly arent doing it right! But lets just talk about the loser owners and GMs and coaches before them like it still matters!

One of those QBs is currently ineligible and it makes zero sense to burn a redshirt 3/4ths of the way through the season. Nobody is talking about this season at all. The thread is called "Kyle Pohl 2015". Thanks.
