I love this quote from Coach Kill:

Quote:"He had 15 carries for 223 (yards). That's hard to do against anybody. That's hard to do against air."

It seems that someone forgot to mention to them that Harnish didn't start against ISU...

I tried to post to let them know actually, but a moderator has to approve the post. So at some point.. assuming Akron moderator's don't care that they were called out for being wrong about their statistics (in a polite way), there will be a post there correcting them.

Why am I yet so filled with retribution - even when I simply pull up my zipper each morning.

I pray for a beat down to silence the UA trash talklin ever since we hosed ourselves in Detroit.

Right there with you Cybes, just a soul crushing game. The fans having no class afterward didn't do anything to make it better.

I wasn't even at the game, I watched it on TV, but it was the most crushing loss I've ever witnessed. Even worse than the last-second losses to Toledo.

Possibly the worst loss for me in any sport. It felt like I got hit in the stomach for weeks after.

I was at the game in Detroit and I will be at the game this Sat. I hope that we kick the crap out of them this Sat.

The biggest thing that cost us the game in Detroit is when Larry English went down with the high ankle sprain in Q1. We never pressured their QB after that. The second thing that cost us the game was going to Garret Wolfe too often and wearing him out. We could not get a first down running on our final drive. Remembering how we wore Garret Wolfe down makes me more open to Jerry Kill's philosophy of playing more than one back in almost every game. It leaves your best back with something in the tank in Q4.

That loss killed all Huskie spirit for the majority of the Class of 2009. I know it sounds pathetic that people would give up on their own school after one loss but it happened. I spent all semester getting my dorm floor into Huskie football and they finally bought in only to see us lose to some school most of them had never heard of.

We win that game and maybe a bowl game or two and I don't think we're talking about attendance issues at Huskie Stadium.


Sticking to the thread topic.... lots of confident, borderline cocky chatter over on the Akron message boards. Pretty odd for an 0-4 team who just landed themselves on ESPN's Bottom 10.

For me the worst was when the twin (Hansboro?? I've tried to wipe their names from my memory) dropped the taylor made interception that hit him right between the numbers that would have sealed the game.

Pretty cocky stuff coming from a team with 1 win...

Akron actually has no wins and is probably one of the worst 5-6 teams in the country. They've played nobody that's any good (Kentucky might possibly be mediocre) and they've been outscored 149-70, with 37 of their 70 coming against their FCS opponent in a loss.

They find NIU's results unimpressive, but I find theirs downright atrocious. I mean, seriously, who loses to Syracuse by nearly 4 TDs? I didn't even know that was possible.

NIU is going to drill them.

That thread is amazingly dumb.

Going back to the year we lost to them twice, this was Horvath's line for the game in Akron:
39/52, 486 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT

We scored 42 points in that game.

The MAC Championship game Wolfe ran for 270 yards, hardly "stopping the run and making us beat them with an average QB."

Last year, we had 275 rushing yards against them, and beat them with Grady at QB.

Stopping our run game is a lot easier said then done. We're 12th in the country in running the ball, and that includes games @ 3 BCS teams. Minnesota didn't have the horses to do it (nor did Iowa State or North Dakota or Illinois), and Akron certainly doesn't.

If Akron hangs around Saturday it'll be because we didn't show up. Considering what we did against Idaho last year, I don't anticipate that.

Those guys are pretty funny.

"niu is 2-2 and I'm not impressed by their accomplishment"

Wow, completely agree with you 7 in that "this thread is amazingly dumb". First off, Akron is 0-4 - with losses to a 1-AA team, a Syracuse team that has two other wins against 1-AA teams, a Kentucky and IU team that has wins against the horribly bad W.Kentucky. IMO, no ground for them to say they are not impressed by our accomplishments.

Akron is 0-4 and I'm not impressed by their accomplishment.

I'm not impressed by their performance

This is what happens when you go up against Spann...



Ever since the MAC championship game in 2005 I hope nothing but bad things for them.

We were at the game in Detroit as well. Agree with your assesment but lets not kid ourselves...we had a chance to win the game with :10 left. What killed us was double skinny's and Ray Smith getting looked off by Getsy and jumping the wrong route. Nothing leaves a more burning impression then right after they scored they showed GW on the jumbotron smiling and shaking his head like "WTF else could I have done? How can we possibly be about to lose this game."

Remember when Brookhart was being renowned for how great of a program he was building at that point? The guy who gave up the six figure corporate job to take a non-paid position on Shannahan's staff and then rose to prominence and became a recruiting wizard by implementing his Dale Carnegie school of sales techniques to the recruiting world? Man how fast rising empires can fall. At least we don't have to put up with dat dudes disgusting spitting habit anymore.

Poach the Zips this weekend Huskies...PLEASE!
