I know they got to the MAC title game a few years back? Must be a good herbal program going on in Summit County!!

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

Not only do they think they deserve to be in the Big (L)east, one of their fans actually thinks they outdraw Miami. Not Miami (OH), they're talking The U. WHAT? At least this Zips fan has a good head on his shoulder: Quote: No offense but we might want to think about drawing more than 8,211 on a beautiful September day before we start talking Big East.

Seriously, after reading through their boards, i am ashamed they are part of the MAC. I think there are weak points, sure, but the MAC is better now than CUSA. WE ARE OHIO -Mike C.

They would fit right it! Not to mention it would pull their RPI down further that it already is. CUSA is dead last among FBS conferences with the Missouri Valley sneaking up from bedind!

They might not be that far off.  The Canes claimed 39,000 in their home opener and 38,000 for yesterday's game vs. NC State, but that would be true only if Sun Life Stadium holds 160,000.  They were lucky to have 15,000 butts in the seats, as shown in the videos from the game.  Had to be claiming tickets sold.  Their announced attendance has become one of the biggest jokes in college football. Still, Akron needs to fill Infocision every game before they can even think about Big Least. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

The Canes play in a stadium roughly an hour from campus depending on traffic, and they aren't blessed with a large built-in student body or alumni base (its not widely known, but the University of Miami is a fairly small private school). They are very much a team that relies on bandwagon fans, and of late, there has been little of note on the field to fill the wagon.

It's very much like Duke in that regard.   And just like Duke has a very small footprint among fans in North Carolina,  Miami plays a distant second fiddle to Florida even in the southern part of the state.   Playing in Sun Life is a recipe for attendance nightmares.   i went to the 2002 Orange Bowl and we stayed in downtown Miami and it took forever to get there.  Imagine what our student attendance would be if our games were played in Parkersburg.
