No one complains cause hardly anyone attends. they are all watching the OSU game somewhere. i have always said that i'll never understand why akron or other MAC schools may try to schedule the same time as OSU is on and at home. Their job is to fill up their stadium for their game. You if gave a choice of attending an Akron home game or watching an OSU game that's on at the same time....OSU will win. and friday night is reserved for HS football and to a certain degree Saturday night is as well...with all the catholic schools. i would try odd times. like a noon, or 5pm, 6pm for football.
with basketball...everyone is in the same pond(MAC, Horizon) we don't have to compete with a OSU basketball, or Xavier, UC. Simple solution is just win and you'll get back to primetime! OH and schedule a home & home with UC.....hell they played OSU this year at home..so in some circles of hell....its freezing!
