Got an email announcing gametimes of 1st 2 games to be announced by joe Dunn And David Skoczen. I know not everyone cared for French and Dunn but just letting him go seems wrong
Is anyone else shocked by UA letting go Steve French and replacing him with Dave Skoczen? No offense to Dave but doesn’t 30plus years of doing zips games deserve a retirement goodbye?
I agree with most of what you said NW. However, to be clear Tim Lester at WMU only makes 800,000 before cuts, while Jason Candle makes 1,150,000 at Toledo. And they went 6-6 last year with no bowl game, and they lost to their big rival BG.
dustin fox has done color on several zips football broadcasts on espn3/+ the last couple years. Lets hope his ignorance is rewarded with no more games ever again. I believe UA must approve broadcast personnell .
in keeping with the memories theme, which I agree with. you have to remember back in the 80s when UA forced Huggins and company to go independent so football could be 1A. Life as an independent is not sustainable. Can we really justify flying our womens golf and cross country teams and the rest accross the country for (summit league) conference matches? It seems like whatever we save by dropping football would be spent on new expenses plus wed still have Infocision to pay off.
my guess is no. In fact Larry Williams is going to be live on WAKR 93.5 friday morning between 7 and 9 discussing the challenges during the pandemic at UA.
Just reported on channel 3 by Jim Donovan. MAC is mulling over option to allow immediate family only! 3 relatives per player, no band, no cheerleaders! obviously no fans. Uggh
In defense of Reece, I thought at least two of his fouls were ticky tack at best. One involved the player behind him (Toure) reaching over for a rebound but the ref calling white 5. offensively his hands are so much better than Deng's. I think they need to give Sayles a few minutes earlier in game too -not just when Cam and Deng are fouled out. As of today in the NET ratings Akron has dropped to 88. Still tops in MAC. Amazingly BG is 154
Is this game no longer the “for Pete’s sake” purple out game? I haven’t seen or heard anything one way or the other. I know Danny is no longer coaching there but it was a nice tribute to our coach Pete. Hate to see both the “Pete’s sake” and the coaches vs cancer games just dropped.
