  1. Well we all know the MAC is nothing if not proactive 🙃
  2. I see Ohio's favored by anywhere between 12-14.5 for this one. That feels low.
  3. Gotta wait awhile before the Kent game.
  4. You can safely add Ohio, Western Michigan, and Eastern Michigan to that list.
  5. At least Kent State is otherworldly bad. Akron might be able to get that second win yet.
  6. The buses were to take the players to the Enterprise car lot where they drove six to an SUV to Columbia; the AD got a manager's discount at Enterprise.
  7. Especially since it wasn't even all that impressive a win over said winless FCS team.
  8. They need game reps. They'll be 1-3 with three ugly losses in a week.
  9. Colgate. Akron would struggle in the OAC at this rate
  10. They're averaging more than 1 yard per play on offense, what more do you want?
  11. I mean I thought the Zips defense would give them trouble for at least a couple drives, but I guess I was mistaken
  12. It's a game against a random FCS team with no connections or reasons to care about playing them, for a Zips team that's 7-49 since the beginning of the 2019 season. To the extent people want to be excited about a game Akron should win... Fans have been given absolutely no reason to care.
  13. I mean, it checks out. Who's excited to go watch a team that's 4-22 under its current coach, playing a bad FCS team they could still lose to?
  14. NIU can stay FBS and be independent if that's what they want to throw their money away on.
  15. Sunk costs are already sunk. Save every penny possible when it creates no difference in on-field quality.
  16. You pose good information here, and pretty well explain why Akron (and, really, the rest of the MAC) needs to drop to FCS if they're going to keep the facade of a "legitimate" football program around. 49 FCS teams outdrew what Akron announced in attendance last year. It's not like a drop in level is going to hurt attendance any.
  17. The horse is alive until Akron actually plays that type of schedule and doesn't replace anyone with more money games that will just be another 40 point loss.
  18. It would be less strange if Joe went and took an OC job at a school that was remotely serious, though.
  19. The team playing like they know this is an unserious program scheduling these nonsense games.
  20. Yes, Colgate needs a nice nonconference road win.
  21. Bad coaching and recruiting isn't a curse.
  22. No, but it is a good microcosm of Akron football.
  23. He's thrown 79 passes for Akron, and very very few of them were downfield. In an offense where Joe wants to throw downfield. There's ample evidence.
  24. It does overshadow everything. If Finley isn't back and Brayden Roggow isn't able to play at a high level (Tahj is what he is), Akron isn't beating anyone on their schedule, and that OSU money will be overshadowed by the team drawing 1300 fans again for late season games because...who wants to see a 0-10 MAC team with no hope (again) on a Tuesday?
