Wherever they can be competitive. Think they could compete against the S.Dakota, N.Dakota and Montana teams among others, in FCS? Personally I would question that also.

Not about 'saving money' after lierally decades of this. They have to play at a level where they can be consistently competitive. Now they are not.

All the fire the coach fans are out in full force. Again, this isn't about 1 coach or a QB...etc. This program can't compete at this level...... Let's frigging move on. I have season tix but likely only make 1 one more game. Not gonna lose sleep on weeknights for this garbage.

Was at the game. To me this one was pretty meaningless after Wyoming and UAB. Duquesne is a BAD FCS team on both sides of the ball. Zips ran the ball well. Finley still made his bad passes against a bad D but thankfully it didn't matter. The real season starts now. I'll take 4 wins in the MAC to admit there is progress. Otherwise time for the program to move on.

College football is a business. Whether its Ohio State, Akron or Indiana PA. Businesses fail all the time. Why? Isn't it usually because the people with the corner offices on the 24th floor make bad business decisions? They hire bad personnel. They present a bad product. They don't correct problems when they present themselves. Who hires the AD? Who hires the coaches? Who 'hires' the players? When the folks at the top keep making bad decisions again and again you get the same results again and again. The effects trickle down. The definition of insanity? We all know it. Time to make some bold decisions about the direction of this football program.

Said it before say it again. The problems with this program go beyond 1 coach or a few players. This is and has been an organizational problem for literally decades. And now with the changes in DI college football, programs like Akron etc. are just going to fall further behind. Agree with kreed can't put lipstick on a pig. A shame. A winnable game.

Nobody here wants them to lose. Some posters are like the you lose I win people that we all know. At times the devil is NOT in the details.

Well at least Wyoming won another game.

Yesterday is another example of why I hate payday games. I see little value in them.Kids get hurt, discouraged. Hold on! I know Akron and others play these games for the big paycheck. That to ostensibly operate and IMPROVE the quality of athletic programs. Since we are talking football I ask, where has been the long term IMPROVEMENT in football? Ain't happening. Hasn't happened consistently here. You can't blame one or two people for what's going now, This has been a systemic problem with the football program for years. Apparently those payday funds have not been well spent at least as far as football is concerned. When I see OU beating WVA and being consistent year in and year out. I see Toledo, Miami etc.being competitive year in and year out. They can fire another coach. Bring in another 'savior' and where do we end up? Time to look in a different direction for the program.

Respectfully your position advantages don't seem realistic given what we have seen.You may call it a must win. But that seems meaningless until they actually win a so called must win. We have had plenty of those.

Nebraska will name its score. Gonna be at least half a hundred.

Finley was bad from the jump. Puzzled me as I watched. The O line didn't seem THAT BAD. something else going on there.

I watched the offensive debacle, offensive in both senses of the word. I have no idea what was wrong with Finley. He wasn't that bad last season. Something more than a sore arm going on there. With that said, that was a bad Wyomong team and should have been beaten. My comment again and again has been that if football is to continue being played at Akron it has to be at a level where the program can consistently compete. That is NOT at any DI level. Hasn't been. I watched this program in the '60's and '70s when it was ALWAYS competitive. Look it up. I would be all for dropping back to DII. I don't think this program would be real competitive even at I-AA. And at that level you are still getting players poached by bigger schools. I'd rather watch them play competitive games against the IUP's,the Ashlands, Sag States, Grand Valley States etc. etc. as opposed to the crap we see now. Maybe something is brewing with a new sheriff in town. As for the rest of this season, go to most of the games,hope they beat KSU and see what happens.

General observation...Akron looks small. Some speed. O line is still weak. Finley just looks lost. Defense is small. If Wyoming ran right at them they could roll. Wyoming looks beatable but Akron isn't going to score with Finley tonight.

I like some of the loaded backfield sets. But Finley is taking a dump right now.
