AKRON FAVORED BY 4?

Has anybody looked around for Indiana boards to find out what THEY are saying about this game?
I have. Not much has been said, yet.
I haven't found much either. Most of what I found is them talking about how pathetic their football team is and how tired they were of sub par performance. Some of their fans think Akron will win, others don't. They were pissed that they just barely got by their first games playing teams from..."The Mac"

Sorry Buckzip but I think you're wrong about your assessment. With the recruiting draw that Akron is now, and is going to become with these new facilities, UA is a program on the rise. Behind the facilities, there is Proenza, who pushed these sports complexes as part of UA's growth strategy, and his hiring of Wistrcill the marketing guy reinforces UA's push to become relevant in college D-1 sports. They may lose to Indiana this weekend but UA will be better next year, and better than that the next year, and will continue to reflect the desire and commitment of those who have decided to make Akron D-1 sports a major part of UA's portfolio. Yes, I just used the word portfolio in a Zips post. BOO YEAH BABY!GO ZIPS!STZ

if Akron doesn't win this one, I doubt they will ever beat a B10 team in my lifetime.Momentum, the new stadium, home field advantage, and Indiana sucks.

I guess if I had a preference, I would rather NOT be favored. It makes it a lot more exciting to win a game you are not supposed to win, for both the players and the fans. Frankly, I expected us to be the underdog. We're a team that has not played well in MAC play the last few years, and a team I expect to be one of the best in our conference this year (Western) just got beat by Indiana. I guess it shows just how little respect Indiana, and their conference, are getting these days.
