We play Akron again anytime soon?

Tressel is suppose to be announced as their new HC.

 

[zibby]

No, he's taking a fundraising position. Terry Bowden is the HC.

 

[Mark Lufkin]

If Syracuse plays Akron 1,000 times how many times do you expect to win?

 

[Upstate]

If Akron were smart, they'd get Jason Taylor to come in to coach the DL, he loves his alma mater.

Bowden has had that job for a while now. Chuck Amato is the DC. Terrel Buckley is coaching the secondary.

 

[44PRIDE]

Isn't Tressel on a 5 year probation from coaching at any NCAA school?

 

[rrlbees]

No, he's taking a fundraising position. Terry Bowden is the HC.

Hmm. Missed that part. Oh well.

Akron is officially the Washington Redskins of college football. Recongizable names everywhere you look. Winning football nowhere to be found.

Unless you consider J.D. Brookhart and Rob Ianello "big names," the "big names" haven't even played a game yet.

Akron hired former OSU coach Jim Tressel as VP for strategic engagement. Will help develop strategies and efforts to help students succeed.​

Here's a novel strategic concept for student success... lead with integrity.

I'm pretty sure they'll keep losing anyway. Unless someone sells Columbus, OH to Canada.

There's no reason why Akron can't be one of the better teams in the MAC.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

Can we just forget about Akron?

Buffalo is playing D1 football for a reason.

Very true...Fertile recruiting grounds in Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Warren, Youngstown, etc. Some big time H.S. football powerhouses in the area.

2 months is a while?

I assume you mean FBS. The reason why UB is playing FBS football is because they were rejected for membership by the old North Atlantic (now America East) Conference. They later got an invite to the MAC. UB had no other choice but to play FBS football if they were going to be able to put their other sports in a viable conference.

Agreed and actually NE Ohio isn't outrageously far for recruits parents to drive to games in the northern half of the ACC. Hopefully we continue to play Akron a couple times a decade.

Tressel has a show-cause. he wont get a sniff at even an fcs school until that is gone.
