They may also find they have some allies in similarly situated programs in the conference.

If he's here, and I have heard it both ways, he competes with the forwards and wings for minutes. The Duquesne kid is the "viable backup big" who will share minutes with Amani.

I get it. He's underfunded. How about giving the school and the Akron sports fans some reason to provide you with more funding? Awful football and making zero effort to engage the community, while alienating donors, won't bring you more money. John Groce is 53 years old. Joe Morehead is 51. I see a hell of a lot more energy and efforts at engagement out of Groce. As a result, his program gets my money, not the losing program that acts like it couldn't care less about my fandom.

That would be one damn short line.

Free tickets will not improve the quality of the football and that's the real issue. Also, people will not go to see bad football, even for free. They've given away tickets before and it hasn't worked.

Listening to Joe's post-game presser. Ugh. SSDD.

In today's age of the "haves and have nots" and the continued misery brought on by this program, I think I've heard enough of the "we can't be in the MAC if we don't play FBS football" explanation. Maybe it's time to just blow this damn thing up and figure it out, with an emphasis on concentrating what we're good at (basketball; soccer).

We've all heard the phrase "statement win." This was a statement loss.

I'm thinking under 47.5 was a solid bet.

If this happens again, I will conclude: a) Our coaches are slow learners; b) Our coaches recruit slow learners; or c) All of the above.

His X page shows offers from Mr. Pinky, Miami, Indiana State, Ball State, Robert Morris and UI Indy.

We haven't started league play until after New Year's this century. We're also not travelling to the newest league member and the farthest member. So, both.

In conference starts before Christmas. No trip to UMASS. Interesting.

Nice to see there was still room for the Concord Grapes. Maybe we can return the home cooking we got at Princeton.

He was here for Streamer University, incognito.

Hmmmm, so our buddy Boals can get beat twice in Cleveland this season.

It seems odd that they lost their tallest player (Okonkwo) and got bigger, but it works out that way.

They lost the MAC POY and improved, at least on paper.

Looks like the Nikola Cvetinović Serbian connection paid off.

He doesn't use a scholarship, so I doubt it is him. Maybe a redshirt?

Ognjen Stankovic, 6'8" wing. Represented Serbia in 16u, 17u and 20u FIBA games. Has played 50 games on the Adriatic League over the last 2 seasons I haven't been this excited since Taylor Currie.

Sounds like John's trip to Europe was fruitful. Anybody have more details?

So he's used to the pay scale.

The article states: "Reed comes to ODU after spending the 2024 season at Akron coaching the corners. Reed helped the Zips to their best season in seven years." That's really polishing the old turd.
