Guess the “Toes All In?” sales pitch is 0-2. He’ll need to try a different metaphor at his next stop. #foreveragoldeneagle

The portal is the new normal. 4- or 5-year commitments to a single school are passe’. It’s fun to be wanted, and flirt with other schools. You can’t tweet #foreverazip unless you leave Akron. And those tweets, which always contain noble references to God and family, are great for the ol’ ego too. It’s often as much about ego, and the grass being greener at the next school, as it is about money.

That’s the gambling equivalent of losing 18 cents in the penny slots.

I am saying - The Spring Game is a Nothing Burger, and UA is smart to spend their time on events that draw people and not flies. It is a waste of time to promote a nothing-event that no one cares about, and shouldn't care about. Watching a bunch of walk-ons practice is a nothing-event.

Spring football is a big "nothing burger" for all but a handful of fans. I'm one of them. Every fall a massive amount of players depart. Portal and HS replacement players don't arrive until the summer. In April there are barely enough guys on campus to fill a 2-deep. Many of the ones that play will be walk-on's and scout teamers...guys that will never see meaningful minutes in September. Kent won the Spring Game Marketing Championship, and will likely sell 2 more season tickets because of it. Great job Golden Flashes. FYI - "Kids Day in The Straight of Hormuz" drew only 6 fewer grammar-schoolers than Kent's Spring Game.

Is this crackpot theory from the same worthless blogger that said Nemer was in Europe, when he was actually peeling next to me in Cleveland?

Unfortunately it is going to happen every year from today, through eternity. Enrique Freeman will be known as the last great MAC player to have played his senior season at the same school where he began his Freshman season.

Just ask the NY Mets, LA Clippers, Raiders…

I took a whiz next to him in a club level bathroom at halftime of the QF game. The douche fabricating the story of Nemer being in Europe is a liar.🤥 Hope that settles the issue.

With as many James Madison players who followed Cignetti to Indiana I can’t believe any Zips player couldn’t follow Groce if they wanted.

I think Eric has P5 potential, I don't think his college resume is sufficient to get him any P5 offers. He'd benefit greatly from another year at UA, then we'd unfortunately need to kiss him goodbye. I just shake my head when I see what college basketball has become. The arena is the same. The uniforms are the same. The fight song is the same. But the players are professional mercenaries, not student athletes. That's sucked the romance out of it for me.

Hope the “10 Toes” sales pitch works better for him in Charleston than it did in Akron. 10 Toes is a lot more effective if Bubba Wentz (Bud’s Palmetto State cousin) adds 10 G’s to their wallets.

Maybe this Saturday. If not it won't be until the 18th.

It would be a much more concise thread to simply list players who’ve chosen to remain at their school.
