Dismissive and amateurish Akron / Rutgers article

This article nettles me …

Piscataway is the site of the next Big Ten matchup for the Akron Zips, who hope to put a scare into the home crowd after last week’s effort against Ohio State.

Alexis can learn a lot from politi

After reading that article…. Run up the damn score Greg ! Beat them by 60 please

We're paying the Zips $1.9M? How much did we pay Howard?

Low FCS vs MAC. Big difference.

Heard everything from 600k to 1 million. My guess would be somewhere between 800k to a million.

And both their teams deserve more than Western Illinois.

Let’s beat them by 80 please

What does Western Illinois have to do with this? Sorry, confused, lol!

They're playing Indiana as we speak. Down 42-0 in the 2nd.

Yeah....Western Illinois is 248th in Sagarin ....Howard 205th. Maybe makes sense, lol??

 

[Scarlet4Shore]

Well, it seems she still has Toure as playing, so...

Akron is making big money from four Power 5 schools: $600,000 by playing Ohio State this season and $1.2 million by not playing Kentucky in 2024 and 2026, $1 million from the Rutgers game and $1.5 million from a game against South Carolina on Sept. 21.

Exactly. This is how these programs will survive.

If you took Western Illinois and the 45 points, you lost! (Said in Warner Wolf voice)

77-3 and driving late

 

[devoted2ru]

Hope RU stomps them into the turf and is up by 70 or so with one minute remaining. We have the ball, but instead of taking a knee the Knights score one last TD for good measure...AND THEN GO FOR 2!

 

[Shelby65]

Unnecessarily nasty, especially from a MAC perspective. Could have been more professional in the criticism, but all true.

These body bag games are not cheap anymore...lol.

That actually makes the disparity sound closer than it is. Western Illinois is worse than Wagner. They haven’t won a game since 2021. It’s possible they haven’t forced a punt against anyone’s first teamers since then either. They are that bad.

Pathetic intro.. but teh story was pretty decent. I did not know, for instance, that Monangai was the ONLY Big Ten RB to go over 1000 last year.

Maybe you should read that again. He went for 16 and no one else got over 1000.. and still he was not a First Team all-Big Ten nor did he get any Heisman hype from the Big Ten front office.

Second-team All-Big-Ten?

And he is a three-time All-Big-Ten Academic star?

Kyle.. and Rutgers OLine.. deserved 1st Team All Big Ten last year for Monangai.

LEAVE.. NO.. DOUBT.

Sagarin... sheesh... meh.. nevermind.
