UA Fan Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 We have progressed to the very fringe of postseason play in football and basketball. The name Akron is now being bandied about by the selection committees. Our conference rivals are making it in largely by virtue of their hard-fought wins over us and when they lose to us it doesn't count heavily against them. When we narrow the rushing yardage and rebounding deficits a little more it will be us instead of them. We have the right people in place and if we just keep working hard UA Athletics will soon be transformed, in my humble opinion. 5 months til football season, and time does fly. Quote
zipper Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 In principle I agree with you - look how far we've come in football and basketball in one year. Three years ago I would have gladly traded places with where we are today. But it is without a doubt frustrating to be on the cusp and not get over that edge. Still, maybe you have to spend a year right where we are - it's not like we really deserved a bowl bid in football and as KD has said we lost key games that would have changed direction for us for post-season play. But both teams have made great progress. JD just brought in a number one or two recruiting class in the MAC - I can't remember that ever happening - but we still will still struggle this fall as a young team, imho. And I do believe we will be a perennial threat in men's bb in the MAC - no one will ever take us lightly again, as least as long as KD is here. Quote
