They can, the ROWDIES just don't advertise it.

Once again, people are falling for the trap the the ROWDIES are the student section. The ROWDIES are just a student org, not run by athletics, that tries to make games more fun for its members. The ROWDIES are happy to have any student join them at the games. Anyone can sit in the floor seats. Anyone can cheer. The ROWDIES just tend to be the students that do care and are the most visible.

I wouldn't know this year, but my years had a few hundred more members than the years before. Its still much lower than the best years, but there has been a decent rebound lately.

As a person that has been a leader in the ROWDIES, this is one of the biggest back-and-forths we would get in. The freshman would all want to have theme nights and all of the other ideas that worked in high school. All of the older students would talk about how awful that sounded and how they had no desire to "dress up". In the end, we decided that it was not worth it to potentially gain a couple of new faces, but drive away the known quantities.

I've always found these videos pretty fun, so I thought I would share it.

They are tied for second. If CMU is not relevant in the MAC this year, then I don't know who is outside of Akron.

I hate to go against Big Dog, but I agree that unless something drastic happens, Keene will win in a landslide. CMU is really a 1.5 player team. Outside of Keene, with a little help from Rayson, the Chips have no one. He is making them relevant pretty much single-handed.

Antino and Jimond both attacking the rim early. I've even seen a drive or two by Josh. Our offense is pretty darn good when that happens. Just need to do it consistently.

Bowden just said on Joe Dunn's show that Chapman has been moved to wide receiver. Not a surprise, but it is nice that it is official.

Ok, it makes sense that they would not want to be excluded. It is definitely a big day for these young men.

Sorry if I am wrong, but walkons don't officially sign, correct? So Wieland signing would imply that he is on scholarship?

Here is everyone that Hustlebelt thinks that Akron signed, but have not yet been announced by the Zips: Jerome Cooper Malik Townsend Matthew Hanson Marcus Kidd Marquise Callaway Marquise Bridges Tracy Jordan Justin Sampson Mitch Cooper Jonah Weiland Bubba Arslanian Some of these are known to be walkons, but there still might be a couple more announcements today.

Hustlebelt signing day recap

This states that Sampson signed, so there is another of the unknowns taken care of.

Lubin is a great pick up. I really wanted him to sign, I loved his film. According to 247sports, he is our second highest ranked recruit, just following Johns. Should give our class ranking a little boost for all that it matters.

Does anyone know why Dunn-Martin has fallen so far down the depth chart? He makes a few mistakes here and there, but I feel like he can make some great plays. He only played 3 minutes tonight, the fewest of any Akron player that entered the game.

Time for a long 2 minutes

The replays are awful and one of the commercial breaks went so long they a full possession was missed at one point.

This is the defense we needed, now JUST SCORE.

Thank you! I can't believe I missed that.

Kind of off topic, but I think this i the best place for my question. Does anyone know if Bowden is having a signing day press conference that the fans can access? I've enjoyed going the last two years and I can't find anything on plans for this year. Seems like the info should be out with signing day only a few days away.

Yep, Big dog hit a free throw with 2 seconds left to win.

I really don't like Blake Hamilton

5 straight possessions that Buffalo has had a second chance opportunity.

D3 schools don't officially give athletic scholarships, but they might as well. I was lightly recruited to play D3 football and every school I talked to said that they can't offer me a football scholarship, but if I committed they could guarantee me a different scholarship that was technically was for all eligible students, but an abnormally high rate of recipients played sports for the school. It always seemed shady to me, but I guess it followed all of the NCAA's rules.
