TheMACer Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 I know that this season doesn't even end until tomorrow, but 12 teams are already looking ahead to next year so I wanted to share this. This column sounds higher on Akron long term than next year. But, it takes some time to build a great program.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?p=1_138 Quote
GP1 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Posted January 5, 2010 But, it takes some time to build a great program.Greatness is not required in the MAC. It may take us some time to improve our program to being great, but winning the MAC East should not be out of the question next year. The talent is there....the league is horrible. Quote

The talent is there....the league is horrible.How long did it take Turner Gill to "build" Buffalo?Exactly!The league is there for the taking. Watching the MAC in bowl games has moved me from being disgusted with the Zips last season to just being ashamed we couldn't win 7 games. I hope the players feel some level of shame as well and then use that shame as motivation for next season. They have the talent, they just need to get everything moving in the proper direction. Quote
RACER Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 i watched the boise/tcu game last night.when watching two mac teams play a game they look like high school teams.both teams had so much speed on defense.tcu defensive end runs a 4.5 40yard dash.we are lucky if we havewr run that fast.the game tcu /boise game last night showed me how bad the talent level in the mac has become.for akron that may be a good thing since the mac is terrible.to say we have talent on akron's team after last nights gameis nonsense.how many guys on akron's team could start for either boise,or tcu.not very many.hopefully the new coachcan go out and get defensive guys that can run esp the db's.

GP1 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 when watching two mac teams play a game they look like high school teams.It's because it is a I-AA league and nobody is willing to admit it. Akron has the talent to win a I-AA league. Quote
RACER Posted January 9, 2010 Report Posted January 9, 2010 your probably right gp.nova beat temple the first game of the season.i would hate to see nova play emu,akron,ball state,miami,western would all probably lose to them.the mac does get some great qb's.defense is where the mac players look like they are in slow motion.anybody who says we have talent needs to watch the game tcu/boise.those teams havespeed.
