I have been tinkering with the idea of going to this game. Not an easy place to get to in my oppinion but I really have a hunger for seeing us play ANYONE else outside C-USA as a OOC that isn't a BCS program and Akron is as good as it's going to get.

Southwest Airlines is currently showing a roundtrip fair to Columbus OH from D/FW for September 23rd for $392. That price also includes all the fees and taxes. Then it would be a car rental to make the 108 mile drive to Akron from Columbus.

It's a possibility, not sure just yet for me.

I think it would be less expensive ($300 rt) and would involve less driving if you bought American Airlines ticket for Pittsburgh.

A better bet would be to find which airline offers the least expensive "last minute deal' the week preceding the game.

There may still be even cheaper ways through those airline ticket "bidding" web sites where you make an offer for leftover seats and fly stand-by. A son of one of my co-workers just flew round-trip to Chicago on American Airlines that way for $29 total. He went with friends to Chicago to see a band perform at a club.

I'll probably go. This is about as close as the Mean Green get to where I live. It's about 500 miles (8-9 hour drive or a short flight into Cleveland). Aside from the SMU game and the New Orleans bowl (the power of positive thinking!) this is probably my only other opportunity to see the 2006 squad in person. I have toyed with the idea of one of the Florida games....we'll see how that pans out.

For those who are thinking of traveling to see this game the Akron website is reporting the game time has been set.

I live on the East Coast so I'll probably go to the Akron game. I'm still hurting from flying in for the Tulsa game last year- man, that sucked!!

      It almost feels like the baseball farm system with us being AAA.

      Hope he makes the roster. Would be fun to watch him sling it in the NFL.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.
