Never said Akron couldn't hang....my view is simply my opinion. It is highly feasible that Akron CAN win this game...I just don't think they will. I guess I'm going to have to be little less respectful in the expression of my views. Do I want to pay 40 bucks to watch to OU truck Akron back to Ohio, well yeah...but I happen to like my football team being forced to overcome adversity. AND FYI...I don't ceaselessly capitalize the OU vowel combination in every word in my posts. I use it once and that's it, but thanks for FIFM. I am extremely adept in both dissecting and analyzing the Sooners football team...been watching them 40 years. With all due respect, I could be two things...arrogant and disrespectful in my views. The "FIFY", to me, has worn out it's welcome. I won't post anymore as the next ones would not get approved, I fear. So again, good luck, be safe, and I hope our fans show you respect as I have attempted to do.

I won't freak by Bowden's words. He can't give the pre-game speech of "Let's just go out and try our best", now can he? I absolutely admire him for that, although I respectfully disagree as I think Perine and Mixon will run wild. Keep in mind that Perine continually put opposing backers and Dbs on the bench last year.....through injury. I think our backs are too much for Akron, respectfully.

He didn't speak to Stoops because of NCAA regs. Baker was offered several D-1 scholarships, he just turned them down to walk on at Tech. It's not like no one wanted him, he just made his own decision and it worked out well for Oklahoma, I think. And he lost his job at Tech, primarily, because he got injured and Webb was playing well. Don't forget he won the job in the first place and Kingsbury has proved to be quite abrasive with people and his players.

I always try to tread lightly when it comes to predicting scores or whatever with opposing fans. "I bet the team isn t taking us as lightly as the fans are"...and that, my friend, is your problem. This team has had to hear about last season all year and I, personally, would not envy the team that they can take that frustration out on.....so with that being said...I have much respect for Terry Bowden and having lived in Miamisburg and Reynoldsburg previously, I love the great state of Ohio....and with that said.....I, respectfully predict, that this game will be over by the middle of the third quarter if not sooner. I respect the institution that is Akron (and being the hometown of Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders helps a lot). I just don't think your athletes are as talented as OUr athletes, respectively and they will have a hard time dealing with the Oklahoma heat. I just can't see Akron hanging for the full four quarters. I do hope all of you coming to the game have a safe trip here and back and I honestly hope our fans treat you with the respect you deserve. Good luck Saturday.
