Re: 2026 Schedule

Time for my prediction. As always, it's based on very little actual science or reasoning and instead is completely based on my feelings. Sat 9/5 vs. Tarleton State - W Sat 9/12 @ Nebraska - W Sat 9/19 @ Iowa State - W Sat 9/26 vs. USF (Homecoming) - L Sat 10/3 @ Miami - L Sat 10/10 vs. Sacramento St...

Re: Lowering the standard

Well, you have to give football at least a couple years before you can declare it a success or a failure, as with any sport. You cannot expect a one year miracle in most sports, but especially not football. Softball was a dumpster fire before Gardner, and from what I've heard, we've at least crawled...

Re: Meeting on College Sports Crisis.

UM announced last night that they had "reached and agreement" with PG Elliot Cadeau for him to return for the 2026 season. Sure sounds like a professional to me The thing is though the players don’t (or shouldn’t) want this to change. The schools have far more resources, if they become fu...

Re: Governor Candidate Says Ohio Has Too Many State Schools

God I hope you're right, but I think Ohioans are bound and determined to become Alabama of the north. The one saving grace could be his name being Vivek may prevent the insane racism of this state to keep him at bay. I fully expect him to be our next Governor though because Ohioans mostly suck. Wha...

Re: Governor Candidate Says Ohio Has Too Many State Schools

So many people who aren’t in education have very vocal opinions about education. Meanwhile, those of us actually in education often feel very confused when people claim we have tons of cash laying around. We do? Where is it hiding? It's certainly not ending up in my pockets. Don't forget, administr...

Re: Frack money

That’s a really good question. It is probably the worst possible time to have an AD who is so singularly focused and dug in on football. I think even the biggest diehard football fans would admit the math doesn’t add up. Plus, the product itself has gotten much worse. Kent and Akron have made the s...

Re: Meeting on College Sports Crisis.

The rec center operates in student fees. It is required to be a break even at minimum. I loved that course. I, too, had started golfing towards the end of HS and I really enjoyed that I could orlyrchase a student summer membership for $90 and play every day for the summer! Unfortunately, they kept r...

Re: CCHA Pick ‘Em 2025-26: 8.5 Arrivederci Rico!

Like I always say, it's really not that hard. (I expect to somehow lose to the bye in the first round.) I'm changing my name to "bye". Maybe that will make the difference in my performance. That, or I will truly perform like a bye week each week. I'm leaning more towards that latter option.

Re: CCHA Pick ‘Em 2025-26: 8.5 Arrivederci Rico!

I picked up an account at USCHO in case the site goes dark for an extended time. I don't want to not post my well-researched and highly respected predictions and slide even further down the standings.

Re: Does anyone watch or moderate this board anymore?

A relevant update given how often the board has been down this week: I did get in touch with Grant and have the contact information for the current owner of AZZ. I have reached out a few times to ask about taking over ownership but have yet to hear back. I've neglected calling him to avoid being to...

Re: CCHA Pick ‘Em 2025-26: 8.5 Arrivederci Rico!

I guessed 190 minutes and thought I was going to be way over, but I wanted to be dangerous because we seem to get penalties galore. I’m shocked I was under with my guess.
