hahaha, you listen to skip bayless? Also, Michigan plays Alabama this season. Let me guess, that isnt good enough?

Might want to take your hate blinders off. It's clear your dislike for OSU/B1G is clouding your vision to have a mature discussion. "M10","Luckeyes"...try concentrating on making some valid points and less on corny, unoriginal nicknames.

seems to be pretty moderate discussion about Akron football in this forum. Open your eyes.

1st highlighted point: The Big 10 has numerous teams that are ranked throughout the year. They just beat up on each other. The B1G is more balanced instead of a top heavy league, like the SEC. If you beat Alabama (who Michigan plays next year, so much for not scheduling big time OOC's), and lose to MSU and OSU, that game is shown to be meaningless.It is what it is. Also, OSU has played Texas and USC in recent years OOC. They just finished a series with Miami who was supposed to be their big time OOC opponent. They cannot help that they flopped. 2nd highlighted point: The SEC is on a great run, I give the credit. However, two teams from the same conference being given the right, without a playoff, to play against each other in the NC game is a joke. Is it any coincidence that the system has been reformed the offseason after this happened? 3rd highlighted point: I am quite aware of OSU's all time record against SEC teams. .500 I believe in bowl games. Who cares if they self-vacated an exhibition game. Tattoos did not give them some competitive advantage in the game that they beat Arkansas.

Interesting, some on here believed that nobody cared about Cant's run in the CWS

Pitt doesn't win with their kids because nobody wants to play for Pitt. They don't win with anybody. Look at PSU,OSU, most B1G teams, and other big name programs around the country and you will find programs winning with WPIAL talent.

Wow! Finally an official word on Commack. Hope he works out for us! Thanks GT

I suggest that you watch some football. The SEC doesnt win anything because of superior SOS. They play their fair share of Georgia Southern's, Citadel's, etc. Playing a couple of tough road games OCC in soccer doesnt make or break your season like it would in football. If OSU, Wisconsin, MIchigan would have went undefeated they would have went to the national championship. The scheduling is fine. Not to mention OSU, a 3rd place B1G team, beat the #2 SEC team a few years ago in the Sugar Bowl

why? Is the NFL regular season worthless in regards to post season? What about high school? This change is making it so that more of a "true" champion is crowned. Coincidence that it happens the offseason after 2 teams from the same conference play in a rematch in the national championship? I think not.

Are you implying TB doesn't know what he is doing?

I don't think it means anything for the MAC. We don't have a Boise or TCU "type"

you expect him to get some guaranteed gems before even coaching a game? He did what he could with the few weeks he had at the end of the last recruiting season. So far, it seems like we have already made progress just by his name. Landing a couple of players who ACTUALLY HAD OFFERS FROM OTHER D1 SCHOOLS.

No. Maybe Milan. Not Tristan.

seems like a solid grab!

Did the MAC not win the Bowl Challenge Cup or whatever it is last season? Also, OSU doesn't have a talent problem man. Last year they had a ton of problems. This year, yes they do lack Urban's "type" of talent. Remember they are installing a completely new system that requires different types of players. Let us also not forget the Urban has also said publicly that there is great talent in Ohio

It should be IMPROVED. But I dont see how we can be in that position unless our program is the level of Ohio State. OSU is the flagship university of Ohio and they cannot even get all of the elite talent. There have been very many elite players from Ohio (NE Ohio as well) who have chosen schools like UM, MSU, ND, etc over OSU. The state of Ohio isn't just a competition between OSU and the MAC schools, its a national competition. Agreed. I dont think GP1 realizes that Ohio is highly recruited nationally.They may not be top 5 per capita, but they are top 5 number wise. That is still pretty damn impressive. Like I said above, it's not just a race between OSU, Cinci, and the MAC schools. A more realistic goal, IMO, would be to steal a few recruits a season that have offers to B1G schools, maybe even one or two from OSU or another elite school. As well as being the the #1 option in the MAC for kids to choose.

Obviously that is the goal. But there is so much talent in NE Ohio, it's not a realistic goal.

who?

So, you guys consider Duquesne "big time"?

Interesting article to say the least....

You're delusional. People all over Ohio, and the nation are following this. Can't is the cinderella team. I don't give a crap about baseball, but am following because it is a nice story (even though its Can't). I've tuned into every game since the beginning of the Oregon series.

The call wasn't ridiculous at all lol. He clearly swung. Shame on them for getting a call right And I've actually heard a lot about Cribbs forking over money so that more Can't State fans could make the trip. Soccer is definitely growing in the country, but still isn't close to baseball. It is what it is, not saying the differences in coverage are right, but is to be expected.

Can't knocks #1 Florida out of the CWS. Also, it should be no surprise to any of you that this run is getting more publicity than our soccer teams. Which sport is more popular in America?? Not even close. On top of that, they have a well known alumni who plays professionally locally supporting them. Maybe one of our alumni should step up when we are having good post season runs.

It doesn't surprise me really. It was stated that he went to U of Arizona for their graduate program. However, many of the conspirator's on here couldn't buy that.
