That article sounds typical of the refs these days, not only in the MAC and other college sporting events, but also at the youth and high school levels. Had a similar situation happen to my son's team. It's ridiculous.

The Rubber Bowl is getting pretty shabby, but I would still rather play there for a couple more years than in some of the stadiums others have. Many of them are glorified High School stadiums. One that comes to mind is BG.

The Austin Peay name is great for coming up with good cheers, but I remember the days when we played Morehead State. That offered the ultimate in great humorous cheers!

If the Gov's have a similar style of play to Toledo then we will have a close game. If not, we win by 9+ points. I don't see anyone coming to the JAR and winning right now outside of a top 15 team.

We better remember this one.

If we get more than 4 inches I'll be shocked. It's always exagerated.

I hope you're right timmyboy, but I have a feeling he may take a step back this season primarily because the rest of the MAC will be ready for him this year. He was unknown last year and came out of nowhere basically.

LOL. No. I just had experience with them in the past and haven't used them in over 5 years. Although, I've heard that when cable goes down now the digital phone system and internet do as well.

"Another thing that I don't understand--why would Time Warner agree to put their name on a T-Shirt cannon that only works 25% of the time. i wouldn't want my company's name anywhere near that thing!"I think they puts their name on it because it works just like some of their own products.

So what ever happened to Cowles Stewart?

I can't understand how Ohio still has an RPI higher than everyone, but are 3rd in the MAC East standings and 4th overall.

I'm wondering the same thing. I thought it was highly likely that he was coming here. Aren't we still holding a scholarship? Maybe for him?

I like your rendition FearTheRoo. I would prefer it to be situated North/South rather than East/West as you show.

That is great news. It should help us, but probably not by too much. Maybe we get a couple more points and move up a couple spots. Gonzaga is having a down year.

Welcome Mondo! It's great to have you here. I can't wait to see you and Shane out there. Sounds like our defense will be impressive for the next few years! Is Cowles also signing with us?

As long as we take care of business when we play Can't and Toledo it doesn't matter what the outcome is with them tomorrow!

Does anyone know how or why some schools already have recruits listed as signed LOI even before signing day?

I totally agree Zip_ME87. That type of thing makes me sick. Either wear The University of Akron clothing or normal business attire when representing the school! Wearing another school's clothing is horrible.

The Browns are going to take Adrian Peterson RB from Oklahoma, but they should take Joe Thomas OT from Wisconsin or trade down to get Levi Brown OT from PSU or even Paul Posluszny OLB from PSU. Anything else is stupid. They will not take Smith unless he drops like a rock into the 3rd round.

This is a complete waste of time. We are trying to move up in the college world and we get slapped in the face and thrown back to the OVC days with this. Why bother. Hey, Buchtel has a great record this year, maybe we should play them too.

Judging by his stats he looks like a good tackler. That is something we really need.

Well done!

Hey Capt' I love your new picture. The funny thing is that she looks just like someone I used to work with. I'll have to send her the pic. Scary thing is that it might be her.

So I guess we should start scheduling IAA teams to begin each season. It would give us a nice tune-up game before we start our harder schedule. Doesn't sound like there is much of a downside unless we lost to one of them.
