g-mann17 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 LOL "Pot calling the kettle black"You are absolutely the biggest waste on here. Oh wait that might have hurt your buckeye loving feelings.Where are my excuses? That Temple proved they could ball before they even played us? That all of you Big 10 loving wannabes know nothing of what MAC football is? That I think you should call out the O-Coordinator Moorehead for lack of offensive production? If a change doesn't occur then you can say JD isn't doing his job, but to me the fact that he even has us in contention (which we still are in case you didn't notice) is quite impressive considering the inexperience of offense. Oh wait you will call tha than excuse too, because a good coach can make anything happen when he wants it too, he is not at the mercy of teams that have played longer and understand how to win. Yeah I'm excuse ridden.Hell sorry I hurt your feelings Bucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm excuse ridden.Hell sorry I hurt your feelings Bucky.Point proven, Thank you, See part of your problem, and you certainly have a problem, is that you can't tell the difference between people being critical fans and people giving up and not being fans. Those of us that are upset are fans that care. The people that have the problem are the people that are gone because the team is playing poorly. Guess what, even fans of winning teams complain about the team. It's part of sports. You attack because you have no other way to express yourself. If you read my posts, you will see I never called out any coach. I never mentioned Moorheads name. I said Brookhart is responsible. Am I wrong?????????????????????????You are a disgrace to this board and to Zip fans....You are a complete and utter tool. You should go take a football 101 class, because you don't get it..MAC football. Give me a break. This is college football. We are young on the o-line. So are many other teams too.is Akron the only school that graduates players?Sorry to hurt your feelings Mrs. Brookhart.Big10 wannabe. (LOL). You show your jealousy all the time. Throw out the OSU card, because that is all you have. Once again having to bring them up. I certainly never mentioned them.Since you are so obsessed with OSU maybe you should start cheering them on. Like I said what a tool.....................................Go away little man. You are a complete and utter disgrace.................................I am through stooping to your level. You are a waste of my time and of cyberspace...Good day Mrs Brookhart.Reply all you want and call me all the names you want. After all, I know that is all you have. You have no facts, and you can't discuss anything logically. All you do is attack.This board was so much better before you jumped on the bandwagon.I am finished with you..... Cry, cry, cry................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Good question. They are the type of things that any of us would see at work, even though it doesn't impact us, that would lead us to think we were working for a bad company and we should be looking for another job. For example:1. The recruiting budget is exactly the same to day that it was in 1987. It's amazing we have the players we do now.2. Substandard academic support program resulting in key players flunking out. JD can't be coach, recruiter and tutor. It's not Harvard.3. Ongoing mishaps that would lead any sane person to think they were surrounded by crazy people. For example, Patriot Bowl posters printed with David Harvey's (sp?) picture on it.I could continue.........1. I was not aware of this. I would have assumed that following the switch to 1-A the program would have seen some increase in a recruiting budget. Also the 2005 Championship I would have thought would have given cause to increase said budget.2. This I would find hard to believe. My friend was cheerleader for 3 years and even as a non scholarship athlete he was required to attend tutoring. Unless the athletics programs do not have travel tutors (again I am not sure of this) I do not see why the support program would be bad. We have one of the best education departments in the state and a high profile special education program. David Harvey flunking out is on David Harvey. The tools were available to him he did not take advantage of them.3. I saw the Patriot Bowl posters. That's on the Cleveland sports administration. So I see one actual issue of the three you mentioned. Though I will add that marketing at the time being leaves a lot to be desired. The biggest thing that the program needs is for University of Akron graduates to actually support their school. Donate to the Z-Fund. This offsets the University's scholarship costs and pumps more money into the Athletics Budget.Thanks for your response. You're right about the Z-Fund.Getting to point #2, we do offer tutoring, but not at as high of a level as others and probably will never be able to for financial reasons. For example, the University of Florida has a tutor attend each class WITH a first and second year football player. The purpose of this is not to do the player's work for him. It is to teach the player how to properly study and attend a lecture. Once the player learns "the ropes" in college, they no longer need the tutor their junior and senior year. Harvey may not be stupid, he just may be like a lot of kids in their first two years of school who don't really know how to study. If Akron really wants to take the program to the next level, they have to keep at risk kids from flunking out.Point #3. I don't care if the Cleveland Sports Administration printed the posters or not. Not demanding to see any marketing material prior to printing is inexcusable. There are both legal and NCAA compliance issues with any marketing piece and they have to guard against any potential problems. When my company does joint marketing projects with our distributors, we (marketing department and legal department) see every piece before it goes out. The Marketing Department must become smarter than this and take the bull by the horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
