PS: This is 1 bet I actually hope to lose. Same here. Though if I lose, I suppose it means I get to support UA athletics just a little bit more.

LZIp Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I like the idea fellas. If someone else wants to bet the same, I'm in for Akron winning more than WMU next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Includes regular season and MAC championship if necessary. Deal? Too many variables in potential bowl games. As a bonus, my $60 will be designated to the basketball program seeing as I will have trouble supporting the program if we have another season similar to 2016's.

I'm not sure if you guys are debating recruits or current players, but I did see the below in the Detroit Free Press last week. So far, some 10 players who had verbally committed to WMU have switched their commitment to Minnesota. This is a sizable number, and represented nearly half of WMU’s recruiting class before Fleck changed jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really debating, I just through that up because the 2nd tweet of the fan saying everybody is leaving. I have seen the 10 recruits & I don't think Fleck related but the standard transfers & they had a lot of seniors, it is a big turnover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Those freshman decommits shouldn't impact this season as I'm guessing the vast majority of them wouldn't have seen the field as true freshman. WMU lost some seniors (all schools do), but they also have a lot of held over talent from Fleck having the #1 MAC recruiting class 3 years in a row. Akron lost its 2 best receivers, perhaps best o-lineman, 2 starting DE, and #1 corner so its not like Akron's coming out unscathed. Unless there is a mass exodus of transfers, I'm feeling WMU can get to 7 wins. I don't see Akron getting to that total, but would love for them to prove me wrong.

K92 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ok. I guess they are considering decommits as part of the "mass exodus". In my world, incoming freshman are verbals at this point and they have a history of following an outgoing coach. I tend to think you can't lose what you never had and until they sign the NLoI, they are prospective players. Whatever. Western is going to blow again in the near future. Probably not too bad in '17, but it's in the pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94zipgrad Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Again, I'm not saying anything, I thought the tweet was funny, the guy said man everybody is leaving but they have lost commits, returners & best QB / WR combo in the league plus some other good seniors but I'm not saying anything for either team, just funny & people betting & wanted to generate some action cause it was a dry day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what we all know now.... I have Akron at 5-3 with 4 toss ups. Winning 50% of the 50/50's puts us at 7-5. 5-7 at worst. 9-3 at best. Have WMU at 5-7 at worst, 7-5 at best. Probably end up at 6-6. home games Arkansas Pine Bluff - W Iowa State - Toss up Buffalo - W. I don't care if we lost to them last year. We should beat this team. Ohio - Toss up Kent State - W Ball State - W away games penn state - L troy - L toledo - L bowling green - W. Same comment as Buffalo miami - Much improved. Toss up Western michigan - Toss up WMU' schedule: Home: Central Michigan- W Ball State - W Kent State - W Akron - Toss up Road: Northern Illinois - L Eastern Michigan - L Toledo - L Buffalo - W The non-conference opponents have already been announced as: Sept. 2, at USC - L Sept. 9, at Michigan State - L Sept. 16, Idaho - Toss Up Sept. 23, Wagner - W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I feel Akron pulled the tough West teams, meanwhile, WMU pulled the weak East teams. From a betting perspective I feel better about this bet now than when I made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
