  1. When I was in school, Greek Week was a big deal. Independent student associations were involved. Why not get some type of competition going with these groups around Homecoming? If we get them in the stadium even for one game having fun, some of them will catch the bug and come back. If the AD staff started soon, next year's Homecoming could start us in a new direction.
  2. A win would have been nice, but this was Aktion Maction!
  3. What ever you do, don't ask anyone here about Akron U!!
  4. Captain, thank you so very much! I'm guessing that your living through raising kids has given you the patience to put up with all of us.
  5. Take this with a grain of salt; I'm from Iowa. I'll be in town for Homecomming weekend and I will be sure to visit the Hopping Frog. On game day, it will only be a short trip to the Thirsty Dawg. I know one does not live on beer alone, but I can get a burger anywhere.
  6. If the MAC continues our success, we could be in a great position when the Big 12 expands. With our ESPN contract, we might find some great programs looking for a home.
  7. I'm just asking. Do they have an 8 year old doing the video with a cell phone?
  8. So if we get our 300/100 we are better than LSU? How did I get sucked into this? The only thing we can say that the team with the most points on the board when time runs out tomorrow is the winner. LV, you better consider that the team that shows up for game 2 can be a lot different than what showed up for game1.
  9. I guess I need to be better informed. I didn't realize you had played The Tide this year. I know you are looking for a blow out, but you better hope your team comes to play.
  10. If we avoid throwing the ball to Wiscy making them earn their points, we will hold them under 30. Rushing will be difficult; so, Tommy will throw a lot exceeding 300. Being very optimistic, throwing success will open things up for WB to go over 100. Obviously, I never put money on a game. I go into every week with a players mentality.
  11. I'm guessing that we take control early and use this game to get some live action for as many guys as possible. With so many pass rushers, we will have at least 3 sacks. Playing time will limit individual numbers.
  12. 49-0 The D has something to prove. Look for a shut out.
  13. If the big 12 takes some AAC teams, those teams left behind might look at the MAC.
  14. This might be the time for the MAC to expand. Right now, I think making the MAC a better conference would be our best option.
  15. I think that team chemistry has been a big part of our success this year, and this young man sounds like the type of player to really build on that next year.
  16. I wonder if this is an indication of McNees' coaching ability?
  17. I'm not a BB expert; so I need someone to help me understand why we can't score a few fastbreak baskets. If you toss the garbage time pts, I would guess we have less than a dozen baskets all season long.
  18. I think the band will need to add a tune from Forest Gump. Run Warren, Run.
  19. .stupid penalties have been reduced--I look for none Sat. I think we should be able to double up on #1 WR, apply pressure to QB, limiting passing & getting a couple picks. UMass scores less than 17.
  20. With no Zip game, I split my time between watching the Chips and UMass. You really can't scout from a TV feed, but the Chips were not all the impressive. If we bring our A game, we can win this game. When Toledo woke up, they took the lusture off UMass. The Thorn call throw the ball around, but he seemed prone to make some bad decisions. We could come out of the remaining five smelling like a rose, or just smelling.
  21. With our bye week, is it time to work Chapman at WR?
  22. Hilliard, Cinci St. Xavier grad, transferring from Iowa to closer to home. He was recruited out of HS by Akron. Would have 2 years eligibility after sitting out a year.
  23. What were we going to do with another guard? Besides, isn't St. V a little closer our back yard?
  24. Bowden year 1: D1AA (backup) transfer QB--O put up big numbers 2: KP16--O struggled to do anything/ didn't help D 3: KP/TW--O improved minimally/ still didn't help D 4: New QB emerges--O returns to putting up big numbers/ helps D I just don't think we are that far away. Just think what we could have done in year 1 if we would of had last years D! Everyone agrees that our D should be solid again next year. I believe that between Chapman and Kinked we will have the answer at QB. Neither has played a down, but I think both of them are capable of propelling our O to new heights. I wouldn't be surprised to see both of them on the field together at times. April 18 will bring much clarity to our prospects for the fall.
  25. At least one on the O can be added to this list. RB Joshua Thomas has signed with Iowa State. Tyler should get a shot at him In '18 in Ames and in '19 at the Info.
