ZippyRulz Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 So you're saying I could win an easy $20 if I'm willing to park $1,000 for the season (or at least until mid-Oct.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the early signing period, the following are not on the roster: Hence, Lewis, Lyons, Malott, Proffitt, Roach, Singleton, Walker. Are they not yet enrolled or are they not coming to Akron? Anyone know the reason for certain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree wholeheartedly. The support football has had from the athletics administration is appalling. There has been none. COVID has nothing to do with putting out more information in the spring on women's lacrosse than spring football and recruiting. The AD's office and sports information has deliberately decided to do and say nothing to get us excited about football. That is shameful for them and they need to be called out for it. All other MAC schools are doing more for their team than Akron. Their job performance in supporting football has been disgraceful. They re doing this for a reason and it is maddening to see the logic to it. We should not, and can not, tolerate this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 There isn't really a reason to be excited for the season. I'm looking forward to see the team competing and players continue to develop, but winning somewhere between 3-4 games would be "meeting expectations" in my eyes. We could end up being be surprised now that we have the starting QB back who is in year 3 of the system, many players got a lot of experience the past 2 years, we appear to be getting some old faces back in Jalen Hooks and Andre Williams per the roster online, and we've added some key transfers like Fann, Boateng, SL McCall, and Ant Williams that are filling holes and able to contribute immediately Its a building process and I think we are a year away from a .500 or better season assuming it doesn't get blown up before then, but I think at this point there is definitely more potential in year 3 of the rebuild compared to year 1 and last year with everything surrounding that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) The schedule has six home games. Three of the games are Temple, Bryant (never heard of them) and a Wednesday night game. Overall, the first third of the season is a soul sucking disaster and that doesn't include two weeknight games in the back half. Someone put together a marketing plan that would get enough people excited to sell 5,000 legitimate season ticket packages for less than $1 million dollars. The point is, there is no point in blowing marketing money selling junk to a football savvy population. Fix the schedule in a way the program can get some forward direction. Hint: Winning cures a lot of problems. Gradually lean into more marketing as the product improves. A lot has to change.

Are you certain it's not lingering effects of the flu pandemic of 1918? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
