Give it two more games and it will be the same.

I'm getting the exact same error.

We sure are doing a great impression of the Maurice Carthon led Browns. I think we even use some of the same plays. It's absolutely ridiculous. We have a 6' 4" WR in Arthur who could catch the ball pretty much over any DB we will ever face, but we would rather run screen plays and draws 70% of the time. I just don't get it.

Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? If Mack goes to Pitt, look for JD to go back to Pitt as their new head coach because Wannstadt is doing a horrible job there.

Sounds like a good kid. With his size he's got huge potential.

Read the comment from Lincoln Park Sam. What a jackass! Someone had a nice comment back to him though.

Unless we are in dire need of his services, I hope we can redshirt him so that we will have him available for a "full" four years.

Based on what?? Our awesome attendance and fan support or raging success on the field?I don't want to be a smart ass or a pessimist, but let's be realists. We have nothing more to offer to a BCS conference right now than the Buffalos or Eastern Michigans of the world. Our program is stuck in a rut of going nowhere right now.I don't think we have much of a chance anytime soon either. What I'm saying is that we are better overall in our sports programs than they are.

It's funny reading these other school's message boards. I noticed they are starting to talk about moving out of the MAC. They are mentioning the Big East for football and A-10 for basketball mostly. The chance of them moving to a BCS conference is far less likely than Akron's chances.

All of this is making me sick. In terms of us having two large Universities within 15 miles, I don't see why we can't make it work. What's the problem? It's been this way for many many years. I say, take a look at the state of North Carolina. How do they do it? They have Duke, NC and NC State all very close to each other and they are thriving. All of them have great sports programs as well. Also, you could throw in Wake Forsest. They are maybe 45 minutes away from the other three Universities. I'm tired of hearing about all this political makework crap.

Is there a list that shows who has been redshirted this season? If not, does anyone know which players have been redshirted?

Destro is a very good football player. He's an excellent high school RB. With the Zips I see him playing on the defense though, most likely LB or DE. At 6' 3" 235 lbs in high school you know he will only get bigger once he hits the weights and training program at Akron. He doesn't have the speed at RB we need at this level. I hope we get him.

"Back to the media market. The Philadelphia market is much bigger than Cleveland ""If Temple can get good, how long will it be before the Big East is attracted to them?"Most of what you are saying makes good sense as far as market potential is concerned. The only problem is that Temple was in the Big East for many years and the rest of the conference couldn't wait to get them out! They had no fan support and they couldn't win.Source: WickipediaThe inaugural Big East football season was launched in 1991. West Virginia and Rutgers were football-only members until 1995, Virginia Tech was a football-only member until 2001, with Temple remaining a football-only member until consistently failing to attract enough fan support and vacating its membership in 2004.

We need to throw the ball down field...period! I am so tired of the screen passes and running 70% of the time. When we do go down field we throw to Jabari mostly, but I have no problem with that. He makes plays! Jabari had a good 3 to 4 inch height advantage on the DB this weekend and was single covered many times. I'll take my chances with that matchup any day. Owen did catch a TD, but dropped two perfect passes and one would have been a TD on an earlier drive.

What a mess over there. Be happy we have KD. He has recruited good players and good people. On a side note, how many games will Ball State win this year? Maybe 5.

That would be a hard pill to swallow. I can't imagine merging with the enemy, but you make very good points. I think this would be a much better situation for Akron than the CSU mess.

Jabari is also 6th in the nation in catches!

There will be plenty of people using that excuse for why they didn't come to the game. It's game two of the series and it's in Boston. It's not a make or break game and it's not in Clevelnad so no one should use that excuse. Our game will be done way before that game so there will be plenty of time to catch the late innings at home or at your local hangout.

I disagree. We do have one stud on the line. Almondo Sewall is a stud. He is already making an impact as a Freshman. Give him some credit. He is a LB that is still learning a new position.

Based on the way the first half ended on Saturday I would be disciplining CJ11. That was just unbelievable. Even JD said he did not listen to instructions. Bring on Rogers if neither CJ has enough discipline to lead this team!

I find it funny that this person doesn't even mention that they are going up against a big rival in Cavman from Virginia this week.

You play to until the whistle period! I don't condone dirty play, but these types of things happen in pile-ups all the time in football. Anyone who has ever played football knows this.

Looks like winning big games definitely sways recruits. Keep 'em coming!

This is what the depth chart should have looked like 2 weeks ago. Williams and Allen give us a much better chance at moving the ball.
