  1. I have only been able to listen to a few minutes, but wagon wheel was definitely a theme. Good opening presser. Guthrie seems uber pumped to have score Moorehead Good for him.
  2. Is there a replay of the Presser somewhere? I don't see it on YouTube.
  3. I agree, but I don't think it is realistic. I have been astonished by how many kids who don't even see the field still think they are going to the NFL. I wish the NCAA included trade schools better suited for a different type of student athlete, too.
  4. Fair point. I sort of included more playing time in the bucket of better opportunities, in my mind.
  5. I think college football fans need to move on from the position of hating on players who enter the portal. Portability is here to stay, and it is more fair for the players. They usually move on for better opportunities and better facilities. For years there has been an expectation that the player be more loyal to the program. than the program is loyal to the player. If coaches keep open lines of communication they have a chance of winning the player back.
  6. I am not a fan of either. I did like the Fear the Roo version of Skippy
  7. He was such a buzz-kill coach it wasn't even funny
  8. Well there goes the remaining talent.
  9. They are doing a nice job capitalizing on the momentum of the hire in social media.
  10. Seriously? "Skirt wearers"? I don't care how old you are. What a completely ignorant and unnecessary remark. I am not sure if you are calling the guys who work in design girls, or just trying to be patronizing towards women, but in either case, inappropriate.
  11. I don't agree that local talent is what produces a winner at Akron. When you look at other G5 programs that are successful, it isn't via local talent, it's by getting talent, period. Every G5 fan board thinks their area is a hotbed of talent and are upset when a new coach doesn't grab the local guys. In this age, the ability to recruit from the portal is what makes you successful.
  12. Ask and ye shall receive: https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2021-10-06/di-council-approves-one-year-waiver-football-scholarship-limits
  13. By far the most exciting player in recent Zips history.
  14. I think the number is so small that the primary benefit is that it helps us know we are not alone. Not enough for a coach to care about, other than how to grow the fan base.
  15. In the time the Moorehead rumor circulated until now, Jacksonville State has hired Rich Rodriguez as head coach.
  16. I am neither excited nor disappointed with the possibility of Moorehead.
  17. Moorehead might be able to recruit Gibson back if they get him on board right away. Bowden recruited a lot of kids from the portal back to ULM when he came on board.
  18. Why not Arkon? The weather Urban blight...sorry, it's true Legacy of losing Short coach tenure Why Akron? Opportunity to build a brand Good facilities Guthrie hasn't done anything for me to not trust him, yet. He deserves a chance.
  19. Not really excited about anyone mentioned in the article. Babers would excite me. Stroud and Hickson could both be very good links, but there are some question marks. I am not interested in another John Caroll alumni. A no-name coach has to come with P5 connections, IMHO to be successful at recruiting. Stroud has those, for sure.
