One of the games I am really looking forward to is the Akron/Kent game on Thanksgiving Day. We'll be there!

Mrs. Freak and Grandma will be getting the turkey dinner ready while the boys and I will be watching MAC football! We live 10 min from the Rubber Bowl.

Kent and Akron on Thanksgiving Day should be a good matchup. :rofl:

It's kind of like watching the Special Olympics.

That was the most crushing loss I have ever experienced! :crying: But, I just need to remember that if we didn't lose, this really wouldn't be a rivalry anymore. Akron has won 8 of the last 10 years.

DOMINATION!

Bottom line is that Kent is not even Akron's rival in football. That matchup is like Holmes and Tex Cobb.

And Huskie boy, if we;re like the special olympics then NIU must be short bus light material since you lost to us. Go pick some more corn!

That Navy joke was pretty terrible even for Akron fans. Come back when you have a sense of humor. The point we bring up basketball is because that is what really should gall Akron fans. Nobody on either campus cares about football. Both teams are mediocre in their best years. So what you have had two +.500 seasons in a row. Besides, beating Marshall twice what has it really gotten you? You really capitalized having Charlie Frye. Attendance and NE Ohio media attention is way up. The Cleveland TV stations do not even know how to get to the Rubber Bowl and Dix. You have beaten KSU 8 of the last 10 meetings. Guess what? Everybody has in the MAC except Buffalo.

At least for those cold winter nights, you can go home after your basketball team loses and warm up by the fire in the trash can watching Charlie Frye preseason highlights.

just make sure to have someone with a gag standing nearby during his motivational halftime speeches. :(

God, now I'm even more embarrassed.

I had thought losing to Michigan was the nadir.

I know what you mean, SH.

Wondered when a Chip was going to weigh in on K.D.'s effectiveness in the MAC.

Kent fans know all about losing to Akron. They can really help you through these "embarrasing" times, SH. Just think, they have endured it 8 of their 10 years. We'll see how much consolation NIU has for the flashies next week at Dix. Good call

Yeah, we got it about the 8 of 10 years already. It's only been posted 10 times in 10 different areas of this board. Just keep posting it on the smack board already. I'm sure it's there a few times already.... :rolleyes:

Thanks for coming to the Rubber Bowl to help our attendance & revenue while watching Kent get smashed...a win/win situation for all deserving parties. Will you still come to our games when we have a new stadium on campus, 10 miles from the R.B.?

What is the timeline for the stadium?

The answer is we don't know. Apparently, the location and the plan are set, but they are in the process of gaining the funds without raising tuition. It is taking way too long though.
