Not gonna lie, that warms my heart a little..

(Athletic depts: feel free to run with that)

Any JMU matchup is of much more interest to me than Ark.St (they would have been a great MAC addition). Freeman, Johnson & Co. got throttled by them a couple of years ago so it will be good to have another go in Akron.

I'll say at least one of Wyoming/UAB is must-win. Can't go 1-3 with this OOC schedule.

As far as I can remember we have played every year as members of the same MAC division.

Good news: they can't take us lightly. Bad news: they won't take us lightly. Especially Toledo after last year. Would love to pluck the Redsquawks.

Just speculating but if he lists QB as one of his positions and is committing early to us he may have hopes of playing QB here.

That could be a good thing for us since a lot of gamers like to see how far they can take an underdog team.

are we running behind on finishing our 2025 schedule because of the AD switch?

first 3 and last 3 games all at night, others TBD

Which channel?

BAM! Wedding reception during the Toledo game on 9/27... save the date! 😅 ETA: Very nice young couple so I'm not complaining..

I would throw out the name Drew Crawford who was an assistant Zips men's coach and is now an assistant at Yale. North Canton native, knows the area, good character.

It seems crazy to me that they 'can't' sustain a baseline of football success there, as we have also struggled to do. They have 'flashes' of it every so often when they hit on a star player or coach like Edelman, Cribbs, Hazell, etc. I guess it's try, try again when they hire a new coach after this season. BTW, Antonio Gates is going into the HOF this summer.

Win 6, including OU.

gotta work or else I'd be watching on espnplus ... go zips!

At this point I'll just be happy with our winning record and bragging rights.

And getting a 6 figure income is very motivating in maintaining one's APR.

What... he has his fingers right on the laces(!)

On the road even 🤘
