ZachTheZip Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 http://cfn.scout.com/2/659398.htmlThey have us losing to Buffalo and we are their only win of the season. They say we beat Can't State, Army, Temple, and Ohio, but that's it. 4-8. As a side note, they don't have a single MAC team beating a BCS team this year. We all know that there will be MAC "upsets" against teams like Indiana, Kansas, UConn, etc. It just shows the lack of respect for the MAC.

g-mann17 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hey, since IU likes playing MAC schools so much (Akron and WMU) why don't we invite them to join the MAC so our basketball RPI can get some respect. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird...if you click on the Akron link from this site (http://cfn.scout.com/2/645627.html), he (Pete Fiutak) has us beating Buffalo and finishing 5-7. Make up your mind there Pete!!! There is no way are going to lose to Buffalo!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I don't think we'll fare as poorly as 5-7 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'll be happy with a .500 record.By the end of last season:1) We couldn't get run blocking.2) We had no pass protection.3) Four OL's graduated (including an NFL-level talent).4) Our best returning offensive playmaker played his last game in an Akron uniform. 5) We finished 5-7.Based on this, to have a chance at a winning record we'd need:1) The MAC's top defense.2) Unbelievably quick development and maturity of some young players, namely the QBs, OLs and DLs.I wish I could create a scenario that says that we have a chance. But I just can't find it among these facts. I'm more than willing to be realistic, and consider this a rebuilding year, enjoy the tailgating, and set my sights on 2008 as our next year to have a chance at contending for a bowl bid.
