Is he talking about this season or forever in the future? I'm certain that eventually our record will cause some bottom-of-the-MAC team that can't afford to overlook us to overlook us and we'll pull off the upset after being 14-point dogs.

Whoopee! We are now so low that we have the media offering to soothe our wounds with the encouraging words that we may win some games this season. Boy, do I ever feel better! Did anyone notice that at no point in Tom's article was the coaching staff, or the leadership it brings, was cited as something to have confidence in? I have many doubts about this staff but I am not calling for their heads. I'll give them time to prove themselves. BTW, what I can't figure out is if our secondary is constantly being burned why do we continue to let Carter, our unquestioned best DB, play only offense and not start on D? Is it because the staff wants their people in for the experience and they are writing off this year? That's the cynical part of me coming out, but you gotta wonder about this decisions.

I thought it was a pretty lame column too. I hate wishy-washy.

...the question I have frequently been asked in recent weeks — my own personal FAQ — is: ''Will the University of Akron football team go winless this season?'' I keep hearing it and hearing it, even in my sleep. Literally, maybe it was in my sleep because the beloved Linda Gaffney — a sports fan of absolutely no standing — has made just such an inquiry...''

I'm just happy we have a guy (Tom) writing for the Akron paper that is concerned about the Akron football team. Much better than the last Penguin fan Zips writer that would occasionally write some BS article on our team that he pulled from the ap. I notice he is not listed on the staff anymore.

I thought the article was okay?
