"Not so fast, my friend"...

Was he predicting net offensive yards or points?

We're in the big game. All of you prognosticators and Nostradamus wannabes try to enjoy the victory. That's why we play the games.

Haha, that number was about right

We were one shoestring tackle on a kickoff, several missed passes, and one pass breakup in the end zone away from a loss. This wasn't so much a win as it was an avoided loss.

But, it's still a W, so I'll take it

This was a lot like the Tenn and CMU games, where we couldn't buy a takeaway. If Akron had been any better of a team, we'd be looking up at Fiami.

Kudos to the D, who really won half our MAC games this season.

And kudos to Fiami for making history by finishing the regular season at 6-6 after starting 0-6. They still suck, tho.

Our offense has ten days to get its act together for Detroit. Whoever wins the West -- WMU or Toledo -- will make us pay dearly for a sputtering offense.

If I'm a recruit considering OHIO and I saw tonight's game vs. Akron,

One more game just like this will be fine with me.

Where's the IGNORE button? Why must we be subjected to drivel from some bozo who never set foot on the field? Sure, a weak win .. but it was a WIN!

Set football back decades? Oh, you mean Cleve? Lichty? You may want to forego drugs before posting. You're an embarrassment to Ohio University.

You're talking about the bowl game here right L.C.?

More boring and repetitive than tonight's game. Plus irrelevant and no one outside of your person cares.


I may--may--be repetitive but with new bits of insight and accurate.

I thought you were better than that. Maybe not.

Just home from the game. Thoughts:
1. That was the worst game I have ever watched where I am still happy with the outcome.
2. I think both 4th down attempts were the right calls. In hindsight, kicking the FG was the better choice, but it's Senior Night and you're playing for the division title. I like playing with an attitude. I didn't even hate the playcalls, either.
3. I don't understand why we can't get a better push from the O line.
4. How tall is Brad Ellis really? The roster lists him at 5-10, but if he's 5-10, I'm 6-4 (I'm not). That's not criticism of him, he made a couple clutch plays late. But it was obvious that Kron was targeting him due to the height advantage their receivers had, we were not giving him a lot of help over the top, and he was playing waaaay off as a result. That last Kron drive I kept having visions of him getting beat on a jump ball or burned on a dig/post with a missed tackle and no safety help. It almost happened, but it didn't, and that's good.
5. Muck Fiami.
6. Any chance our secondary gets healthy in 10 days?
7. I think we're probably the 5th best team in the conference, but that doesn't matter. Win one more game in Detroit, and we're champs.
8. I'm rooting for WMU Friday. I think we caught Toledo sleeping when we played them the first time, and I don't think it will happen again. WMU, on the other hand, might start believing their own press too much. NY6 bid a fairytale ending for the greatest MAC team ever? Pssssh....Let's ruin the fairytale.
9. Go Bobcats.

You're an embarrassment if you think what you saw tonight was elite. Especially when doing recall

Just home in cincy and I have to agree with CMoney. My son went with me for his first OHIO football game in years and we both agreed it was probably the two worst offensive teams we have ever seen. Thanks God for our defense and the crappy Akron offense for that win. We continue to play like this and we end up 8-6.

I must say congrats to the team though. I am amazed they won the division but that doesn't change my opinion that we have plateaued as a program.

Brown had 14 carries and Irons had 11. Papi had 6 touches. They don't seem very injured to me. From what I could tell, the offensive line wasn't getting any push whatsoever.
