I honestly believe Akron will start 0-7. I've seen crazier things happen.

Every fan base does it when their team is 0-0. For an example of it on our own board, check out the "How good are we?" thread in the basketball section.

Our basketball team is defending conference champions. Akron's football team went 0-8 in conference last year. I've seen crazier things happen.

We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
