I don't disagree at all. I would only caution that we were playing a really bad team yesterday at home. We will be playing a much better team this week on the road. If the above continues, we are improving. If not, we are still spinning our wheels.

Open your wallet you cheapskate.

We were playing one of the worst teams in the league and they were in the process of falling apart. CMU was badly trying to lose that game. I would agree if we were playing Toledo (or us going for the win at NC State a few years back), but a team like CMU is dying to lose every game they play. All we needed to do was stick around and wait for them to blow a road game in OT, which they were well on their way to doing. MAC teams blow games all the time on the road and we had CMU right where we wanted them.

A lot will leave to go to other programs. They don't want too many years at Akron on their resume.Who would hire them?A lot of people. With the number of coaches that get fired every year, plenty of spots open up. If every assistant who got caught up in a firing couldn't get a job after, there wouldn't be enough guys coming into the profession to replace them. The key is to get out of Akron before the stink becomes too strong.

There is no way to know that....

Both of these plays are "all or nothing plays". I don't have a problem with moving a mobile QB on the three. It presents a lot of options or even the QB running.

what would you have called?

He probably thought with the momentum they had they could make one play and win...huge risk. I'd rather take that momentum into overtime and put a series of winning plays together.

All these kids are doing is playing hard. No reason not to be proud of them.

Always go into overtime at home. The Zips were red hot and the CMU defense had to be tired.If we just kick and extra point down 20-6, this isn't an issue.A three game homestand wasted.

can't argue with that. the 2 pt conversion was insanity though.what happened? i can only see gametracker.

He is having a great game. Probably the best player on the team if he had any support.

what happened on pat? gametracker shows defensive end running the ball?

"Uhhhhh. They are a lousy football team." - ButtheadSomeone had to start the thread. Have at it.

If they play it right, it could be the best thing ever for the MAC and MAClike conferences.

The first ten minutes was probably the most funny and smart 10 minutes of television I've watched in a long time.

I live in a Charlotte suburb and was flipping through the guide on D-TV a couple of weeks ago. There was a Mt. Union game on STO. The MAC has partnered with ESPN who puts their games on Wednesday night because they have nothing else to show on their gazillion networks. Or, if you are lucky, you can watch the MAC on your computer...I'm not watching any game on any computer. The MAC is such a poorly run league, it isn't even funny.

I just looked up some games. Looks like he didn't produce much. If a player can't produce against the current crop of players on the roster, maybe we won't miss him much.

Good post. I am of the belief that we should compete at a level where we have a realistic shot at winning against "like" schools.Some like to talk about paying players as a destruction of the "integrity of the game". Is paying players really worse for the integrity of the game than the month of "rent-a-win" games we all have to watch and participate in at the beginning of every season? I don't think so. Not only are they bad football, but they steal money away from hard working people who are forced to buy the rent-a-win tickets in order to get to see real games later in the season.

I'm glad to see a quote about winning. Maybe I don't read every presser, but I don't remember reading much discussion about winning. I'm perplexed though. He talks about fieldgoals being a turnover or a failure, yet he is down by something like 20 in the fourth last week and kicks a fieldgoal to become down 17. It doesn't make sense to me. It's one thing to tell the fans and players winning is important, but I'd like to think actions would follow.That was apparently a very good spoof by CK.Now I get it. It was so stupid, I thought it might just be the thing to happen in the MAC...I'm serious.....

I don't think the two are connected. Cincy has been very good the past few seasons. Except for getting blown out by Florida in the Sugar Bowl, I can't remember them getting blown out by anyone. Historically, Cincy has been a bad program and will find their way back some time soon.

When we get done with this, we can put signs above the lockerroom doors reading, "Whites Only...and Only If Your Parents Have Money".I'm not interested in turning on the TV and watching LSU vs Alabama with DIII talent. Sorry....I enjoy modernity.Sorry, throwing the bullshit flag on you here. Millions of college students somehow manage to make it through with combinations of loans, work, etc. And believe it or not, a lot of those students are black and they somehow do it too. The percentage who are helped by athletic scholarships is miniscule compared to that number. Throwing the race card in doesn't help your argument, especially if you just want that for your own entertainment.If you want the quality of D-1A football to remain where it is today, scholarships have to stay where they are. If you want to go to college football games where almost everyone looks like you, go to Mt. Union games. Everyone sits around those games patting themselves on the back on top of their high horse about the DIII players being "true student athletes". I don't need my world view boosted with a football game...I'd rather have good entertainment watching top level athletes compete.
