both spot on. Some of our community's dislike of Tressel (esp Dr. Z) is a mixture of disturbing and sad.

Good point. My question is though, what happened to the 1 QB in every class? I know this guy was a QB, but listed at a DB in his profile. To be honest, Im not sure I see his playing style fitting our system.

Id hate to see Bowden & Co form a bad relationship with a premiere WPIAL program like McKeesport.

Wow you are right. Just realized this whole thread has been derailed by the Akron FBS vs FCS "debate"

I think Zeke's rebounding does need some work. I've said before it seems like he just doesnt really jump. However, height can be made basically irrelevant if the opponent properly boxes out, which seems to be a lost art in today's game. Sometimes the ball just doesnt bounce your way as well. I cant really comment because I didnt watch that game. Just think there is no excuse for our best player to get the ball only 6 times when he has a 4 inch advantage on an opponent, who is probably a scrub since he is playing Arkansas PB.

Thread is 5 pages long.

All good indeed.

LOL. Although I do live in Akron, no need to stereotype me as a drug dealer. If I were, why wouldnt I sell year round? Wow we are getting off topic.

As am I, in the summer. I make enough working 3 months a year to live comfortably the whole year.

Not at all, considering Im off for the next month and Ive been staying up til 4am every night and sleeping in until noon each day. Maybe if I decide to get a little motivated Ill play the game.

Im flattered Its just not possible to maintain a job while going to school full-time as well as being a student-athlete, which is a full time job in itself. If it were possible, wouldnt they be allowed? As for your last sentence, athletes CAN work in the offseason. I know many that do.

Ive offered by opinion on this topic many times. No use beating a dead horse, like you are. If you think your idea actually makes sense (it doesnt) why dont you contact Proenza, Tommy boy, etc. I would love to hear what they would have to say. Probably laugh in your face.

I'm offended that you call yourself a Zips fan.

I think Im more concerned with him only getting 7 shots. Get him the ball!

spot on, I have basically said the exact same thing to him a few times. But it just goes over his head. Really think he is a troll

My response is that how does Mount Union draw 10000+ when their single game attendance record is only 8972? http://athletics.mountunion.edu/sports/fba...ds/Team_Records

Spot on Cap'n

Can't State football has been a loser its whole existence. Yet, this past season, they were one fumbled hand-off away from a BCS bowl. Yea..there is no hope for a program like Akron who is better traditionally, has better facilities, and better coaches

QQ. Just like I told STZ, go root for YSU. I dont root for quitters. YSU doesnt give a shit how they do in 1-AA. They would jump to join the MAC the first chance they got. Our University has a goal overall. Goals that do not totally have to deal with athletics, but athletics play an important part of them. WHEN, yes I said WHEN we get there, please dont jump on the bandwagon. Dont need "fans" like you.

Paul Haynes never coached Marshall?

They cant. Why would they want to anyways? They are getting all expenses paid for and enough money on the side to live comfortably.

They are free to make theirs. THEY DONT HAVE TO PLAY COLLEGE SPORTS..They dont have to get a free college education, clothes, unlimited food, free boardind, and a stipend that lets them live comfortably (I dont care about what is technically in poverty or not, every college kid is).Man they sure have a tough life. Not only that, but like I said earlier, you are way off if you think any athlete is going to work during the season. They just cant. Its a full time job.

You seriously think NCAA athletes are living in poverty????LOL, You have to be kidding. Its their choice to play college ball, dont want everything else that comes with it? Dont go to college.

Hate to break it to you boys, but we didnt just build a 60 million dollar stadium to drop down to FCS. Will not happen. We dont have a plan of getting enrollment to 40000, while also raising admission requirements by making our sports programs more irrelevant than they already are. UA is trying to grow, not become Mount Union or YSU.

So are we not expecting any JUCO players to commit?
