zipboy Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 When asked last night about lobbying for Akron to get an NCAA bid, KD said that first should come from the league. The league can't even lobby for an NIT bid? When he said it I could almost hear KD laughing like the league gives a crap about us.The biggest event of the year and your clock operator can't get it right then your commissoner has no balls to make the final decision and 2 of the refs on the same crew are brothers?You let Temple into the league in football and still can't get your scheduling right? Will they be releasing the football schedules in July this year?Next year I expect our first 4 MAC football games to be on the road.I pray that we get our stuff together so that in 5 years we can leave this minor league conference. Either the league office is so inept that it is incomprehensible or they just don't give a crap about Akron. How you could let this happen is beyond me. And thanks again Lang Kennedy for stepping up for us. I appreciate it.We should be down to 3 conference teams in soccer 2 years from now. Rick Chryst is a freaking joke.

zff Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 All the things you just said I left on the Deputy Commis voice mail.I think the AK Roiwdies need to chant Fuck the MAC during eevry game next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zips4life Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'd love to get out of the MAC, and we'd have options for basketball, but I don't know what we'd do with football. With the way bowl bids are now-a-days, you can't be an independent, and what would our other option be, C-DOA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyboy Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 LEAVE THE MAC.......LEAVE THE MAC......LEAVE THE MAC....I FEEL HORRIBLE FOR DRU AND ROME, THEY BUSTED THEIR ASSES ALL YEAR JUST TO GET NO RESPECT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Zip Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 The MAC is pointless for basketball -- why not ask for the same deal Temple got where we only need to be a member for basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indians06 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Anyway we can stay in the MAC for football and join the Horizon League for Basketball? We'd still have 2 other teams from Ohio, and have good basketball teams like Loyola Chicago and Butler within our conference. I think the Horizon would make sense for all sports other then football. we can play Can't once a year, and hae rivals with YSU and Cleveland State.

Indians06 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm just saying, I predict within the next 2 years the Horizon will be better then the A-10 and probabaly 5 spots higher then the MAC in the RPI ratings. With a conference that seems like they get multi bids into the dance frequently it could be a band wagon we should be interested in. Living in Youngstown I go to a couple of games every year, and watch others on T.V. Let em tell you the horizon doesn't deal with this bull shit officiating, and teams like NIU and such. We could have beat Butler twice this season seeing as Cant took them into OT and we beat the sory team 3 times. I know many will disagree with me here but it's something to look into. UW-Milwaukee advanced atleast to the final 32 like 3 straight years or something. I looks like Wright State could give Pitt problems, and Butler will advance to the round of 32. I'm sick of seeing MAC teams go one and done in the turney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguins Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 O ya everyone.... Youngstown State had those 2 black ref's about 4 times this year at Beeghly Center. They were HORRIBLE every single time.......... So bad that YSU and WSU reported them to the league for being a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
