  1. OK OK....I am going to really simplify it here.. Our soccer team has probably the best student support in the country. What separates the soccer team from the other sports?
  2. That's how it worked at my high school, although we only had 60 something boys in high school
  3. Really? Didnt bother reading the article, but all I have to say is hell no. What was that commercial..."ninety-something percent of college athletes go professional in something other than sports". Nowhere near everybody is good enough to go pro. It is a major injustice to them to have them major in "sports". Much like students getting art degrees or something. Athletes choose to come to school for an education. If they dont, they can go to some knock off league before they are eligible to go pro.
  4. I'd be a little more impressed if he wasnt doing that against JV/freshman teams.
  5. good points. Name of opponent is more important than quality. Same can be said in all sports.
  6. No. They are already hard enough to come by lol.
  7. Im not going to get into a lot of detail (prepping for finals) but a theory/suggestion I have is this... Akron has the label of a being a commuter school. I know the University is making efforts to get more kids on campus, but it is infact still a commuter school. This is obviously going to hurt student attendance, especially on a Sunday afternoon when nobody is on campus. I believe with the students we have on campus, more of an effort needs to be made by the RAs, (yes I said RAs and not marketing deptartment) to get the kids on their floor to go to games. Getting a group of people to go to an event works. It provides a social setting with people that you know and are friends with, and has a good chance of creating a few new "regulars" when they actually see the product we are putting on the court. My freshman year, I went to many things that I never would have if my RA had not organized it for us. Skating rink, rock wall climbing, EJ Thomas, etc. The upper class-man need to do a better job with getting the younger students aware and involved. Akron is in a unique situation. There is only so much the University can do so fast, but there is still a little that the University leaves left on the table.
  8. I DL who doesnt play is facing a probable assault charge. Hopefully Bowden will get rid of this guy and open up another scholly that we can get a player of some worth out of.
  9. yeah, this cant be serious lol
  10. most ever? I think the MAC will go 4-3.
  11. With my math 6-1= 5.
  12. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/...orange-bowl-bid
  13. meh. It was a dumb play, no strategy involved. If KD was worried about playing chances by fouling, they would have fouled before the shot and it be 1-1 or 2 shots (whatever it was), instead of fouling and giving them the chance to tie it.
  14. I probably feel better about NIU than Can't, not sure though since NIU's HC is bolting. Can't actually surprised me Friday night, and would have won the game if the long hair TE didnt fumble the reverse in OT smh.
  15. Pete Thamel ‏@SIPeteThamel BREAKING: Northern Illinois vs Florida State is official in the Orange Bowl, according to a source.
  16. Hearing some rumblings NIU is going to be ranked 16th... Special thanks to the B1G and Wisconsin for beating the snot out of Nebraska.
  17. How about Kretzer! Fresh stepped up big in OT.
  18. 2 timeouts left and you just let the your PG go one on one. It could have been handled better.
  19. typical end of regulation possession by KD.
  20. this for real right now? foul the guy shooting the 3? smh
  21. I see lots of empty lower level blue seats. We dont want to disrespect our season ticket holders by putting a student section down low, though. HA!
  22. gozips.com was my source for the link. not hard to find at all.
  23. searching is hard. http://livestats.prestosports.com/akron/
  24. clever idea if 1350 and the zips video stream was actually synched up.
  25. this. Video is fine, but audio is horrible.
