AMEN to that!

I agree Even during bad years teams like Ohio U and Bowling Green draw well for home games because of the on-campus experience you get for MAC games and rivarly games. During the competitive years you'll get sellouts. The Bowling Green-NIU ESPN Saturday game of just a few short years ago more then drives home what a home game on your campus can do for you even in the MAC. I have no doubts UofA can rise to and above that level in the coming years once the stadium opens on campus. can't really compare Athens and Bowling Green Ohio to Akron...smaller towns and the schools are THE item...not much else to do not so here...never has been that connection with U of A and the community that there should have been..at least not yet..

someone suggested that a year ago! Pick your seat day...tag all the available seats let the season ticket buyers go take a tag off the seat they want..been done lots of other places..

Name the night. I hate that place.I'd drive up from Georgia with gas running as high as it is now just to help out and I know how to drive heavy equipment. The plasma center is a major blight in the area. I understand the need for blood. I don't understand the plasma center. you would if you needed it to save YOUR life...

how much dinero did one have to cough up to get invited? seems like the AD already forgot the REAL fans...

I've seen him. He's 285. He didn't play last year because he's fairly new to football (I think he only played 2 years of HS?). And, to go from Youngstown Rayen to UA is a pretty academic big leap. I know he made the Dean's List for the fall semester....so if his football progress is anything like his scholastic progress...he could have a significant impact this year. i work with a guy who has a daughter on the track team who dated this kid in high school...he says he is every bit that big and has all kinds of athletic ability...just needs to develop football technique...

This may be the dumbest move JD has made to date!!!!Or the best. Andrew Johnson has, by almost all accounts, blown Williams (and every other RB on the roster) away in Spring practices last year, and continues to do so this year. It allows us to keep out best talents on the field without clogging up one position while simultaneously helping fill a thin spot at another position. obviously JD knows this will be his LAST year as a head coach here IF he doesn't win something significant...when you boot your best running back who has next level potential to defense for a SR who has never played a down at Akron and who will be gone next year...you are most certainly selling out for the here and now...hope it works..but what about the QB?

some of you guys are developing a complex...

easy guys...you're going to wear yourselves out...

AMEN!

road trip to Syracuse...see a game in a dome...neat!

and which schedule are you looking at?...the wins are????

any of you guys actually KNOW what the schedule is... just play the games!

don't beat yourselves up over Can't...it happens on a regular basis that they are the class of the MAC...the Zips haven't been there and are not there...you can play Duke and NC and lose..but if you can't beat the VCU's, Nevadas etc etc. you don't deserve to be recognized for more than you are...a run of the mill team from a second or third rate conference...

the thing that constantly confuses me then is if the Zips are so good at OSU as you maintain...how come it rarely translates into them beating those high powered MAC teams WHEN IT COUNTS? or on the other side...how come OSU then manages to go on later in the season and beat all those teams which are clearly superior to the Zips (and most of the other MAC teams for that matter)...OK you believe what you want and we will agree to disagree so you don't get nasty again...

ya know...IF or when KD starts doing here what Waters,Christian et al have done at Can't, then we won't have to worry about this stuff will we?.. face it... in b.ball Can't has the hammer!!!

lost by ONLY 2-3 touchdowns because Tressel calls off the dog!!s..if he really thrashed the MAC teams like he could, how many would play him? please..

i wanna see Fleming on the field..at 6-3/6-4 if he has any speed at all and a mean streak he could be aheadhunter the D needs...anybody got any more on this kid/

go Manny...he ain't goin' down w/o a fight is he?..i wanna see the new place built but, i think when we live in the good ol' US of A ya gotta be willing to deal with those of us who don't want to conform!

completely agree here..after scheduling 3-4 road games to start the year in places you can't win...not only have the fans forgotten about the team,the players are so beat up that it is hard to put your best team on the field for the MAC schedule...they may play their butts off in Columbus etc...but the tank gets low when you have to do that 3-4 times in a row...schedule 1-2 competetive games at home early so the fans see the team before they start watching OSU or the Browns every week...

yep..wonder how playing for dad will work out? this could be a kid with the speed and size to be a rush linebacker..

This kid seems intriguing...listed at 6-3/6-4 and a safety? plays basketball at Hoban...must be one hell of an athlete!where do you play him? and when?

speaking of the O-line...is Sekinger going to play this year?

reality would be good..the first thing that HAS to happen is in the athletic depatment..they have to cut the attitude that the team is to be sacrificed to the likes of OSU, PSU and on and on for CASH... we all know money is necessary but history shows us that in this town in doesn't put butts in the seats when you lose to OSU,PSU etc etc..WINNING is the best PR the AD can get... they could get Cincy,Pitt..how about an SMU...Rice..teams from the mid level that people recognize...then beat the best MAC teams!!! play for something meaningful in October and November...you will never get 30K consistently... but if you win in a new stadium consistently you can haul in 20K maybe 25K...this year and next are critical....
