When I was growing up, there was a strip club in Wheeling, WV called My Club. There was carpeting in the bathroom that was rather squishy. Someone wrote on the wall, "I've s#!t in London. I've s#!t in France. Before I'd s#!t in here, I'd s#!t my pants.". Some of you are sitting in the My Club of college football stadiums right now.

I think it's time to watch the World Series.

I've seen #54 for Akron in the backfield a lot tonight. The the NCAA change number rules? Is he a running back?

When you have zero threat of completing a pass, 4t h and 1 isn't hard to stop.

Lingard looks like a D1 player. The only one on the field for either team. This is just bad.

There's an old saying, "Bears only crap in the woods because their only meals are six packs of burgers and a side of onion rings at Hamburger Station. If they were anything else they would make it to a restroom at the national park." Seriously, nobody has ever said that, but I hope it distracted you from this terrible game for a minute.

They could juggle money around by not charging out of state tuition for any athlete from another state. They could eliminate charging the athletic department for tuition for a year as they are having classes anyhow. They could sell naming rights to the scoreboard. They could add advertising to the scoreboard. A million dollars isn't hard to find if you try hard enough. If buy a new scoreboard, but I hate to support an organization this uncreative.

Weeknight games in NE Ohio in November are great for the program. It's exposure!

It was built two years later. So, how can a school use a sports facility to bring people together when a game is not happening. They have a restaurant in the pressbox with a full bar. They open it during the ACC basketball tournament so people can eat a meal, have some drinks and watch basketball on a giant television. There is no charge for entry.

No. I just go to their games. It's enjoyable. I think if them a lot when I think of Akron. There is nothing they have accomplished in the he ACC in the past 15 years that Akron couldn't in the MAC. Wake Forest is a historically horrible program in a city very much like Akron. In fact, Akron Blvd is the main exit to get off of when going to the game from the expressway. Along the way they provided the players students alumni fans and general community around Winston Salem with as high of a quality game day experience as they could provide given their ability. They didn't let a bad team get in the way of a good experience. This is my hope for Akron. Get good at football. Along the way, make the football experience at Akron as top notch as possible for the players students alumni fans and general community. I just want them to do their best in those 5 areas and they aren't. It doesn't seem that hard to do. For example, does it really take two years to get a new scoreboard? It makes no sense to me. I work in the construction industry and something that easy to make shouldn't take this long to get. It's a television screen with large speakers held up by framing with some advertisement around it. Again Wake Forest, but they built an entire scoreboard, 30 yards long, with brick around it and the largest television screen in North Carolina during an off season.

How about a long line at the gates?

You're not over exaggerating.

If the MAC hasn't eliminated divisions, they should and adopt an ACC style model. Below is Wake Forest's future schedule. My point is this. It's possible to maintain in state rivalries while providing athletes students alumni fans and general communities a great experience. I just wish the MAC and ACC would go to 9 conference games. https://godeacs.com/news/2023/10/30/exciting-matchups-inside-allegacy-stadium-await-acc-announces-football-schedule-model-for-2024-30?fbclid=IwAR1_1FhnTwR-UQ_Sfv-jEuNJLFZH18vup96fJX1GU3PL0xXWAsSHO9NJLNc

No. It's the failure after two years to have the future of the program under center, maybe even on the team.

Playing players because you "want to see what they can do ' is a form of fan Nihilism.

Sort of. Past the second team players, most guys don't get very meaningful reps.

Out of curiosity, how many people voted?

I'm glad he acts like an adult. Met him at an alumni function and he was very friendly.

Only for the Adam's Family.

They can dress any way they want. They are paying for it.

Do the math. It you wouldn't be getting much of a break and you would be contributing to Ohio's public universities being a benefit to athletes students alumni fans and general communities.

Imagine if you could show up with your spouse and two kids with a pass issued from the state that shows you paid taxes in Ohio and get 4 general admission tickets to any MAc event you wanted, twice a year. You're already paying for it. You should get something for your money.

It's evidence nobody listens to college professors after the age of 24.

Regardless of on field outcomes, if the University was doing a better job of making athletics benefit the athletes students alumni fans and general community, notes from the faculty like this would make them look even more foolish than they already do. It would make a monitary argument look shortsighted and foolish.
