Also, just confirmed Jasun Ridley, a DE from Pasadena CC. We've been hitting the California JUCO/CC scene very hard. I understand this is the route we have to rely on with our financial limitations but hopefully it pays off.

That’s something I never thought of in this system…

What's funny is there was a ~10 year stretch that the tournament was hosted in Toledo and they punched their ticket 0 times those years. Half those years it was played in Savage Arena. I think they want the tournament to return to Toledo, but honestly what out of town fan would want to spend 3 days in that decaying city? Cleveland has a great setup. There was a Redhawks fan who said he's gone to every tournament since the 1980s and Cleveland blows the rest away. I feel the ones who complain are the ones who don't actually make the trip to fairly judge. With NIU leaving and UMass joining I would also add Cleveland might be pretty close to the geographical middle for the MAC.

Not surprised. It was pretty sick!

Good. Make Amani watch that on repeat all the way to Troy. Maybe it'll fire him up so he won't play that way again.

I think toledo fans have been saying this since they lost on thursday morning to the 8 seeded Kent a couple years ago. It is so funny to me, where do they really expect the tournament to be played?

Every time Pinky looks in the mirror it's a shot at himself. That's why he always looks so miserable.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but the MWC signed their TV deal. That would lead me to think the MAC deal, which expires in 2027, should begin to see some movement.

I have a vague recollection of Kent winning at the JAR and going over to our fans and taunting them. I thought it was classless then and classless now. I saw the same thing in soccer this year by our soccer team and others. A coach should teach his players how to win and how to lose. I don't know what happened after the Kent Toledo game but if it was inappropriate I am glad the coach called it out. Regardless if you win or lose, student athletes should not act like jerks after the game.

This was just made official on the ZipsFB Twitter account, along with Malakai Ross-Graves, a DL from College of San Mateo.

But did they mention that we won at least? 😅

I did not. I don't bet. Crow tastes good when we still win though.

If you go to their board they blame all kinds of things for their lack of success. Bad luck, injuries, and saying the tournament needs moved because Kent and Akron get an unfair advantage. Meanwhile, they're significantly closer to Cleveland than schools like Buffalo, Miami, or WMU who have all won the tournament in Cleveland. They just lack any sort of accountability. It's funny enough that they don't feel the same way about the MAC football championship being in Detroit giving them an unfair advantage. They will be in for a rude awakening if the MAC relocates, as it should, that game to Haslamland once the current contract ends.

I hate Toledo!! Tod might be one of those coaches (Dabos, Clemson football coach) that excelled before the NIL era because their program could fill the roster with talent at the price of a new car. Now new cars are peanuts and they are struggling to adapt.

They're just killing time until spring football.

Definitely an attempt at signaling and auditioning for the BEC 😉

It was the number 1 play on sportscenter this morning...

It will be a charter.

Yes, also Troy doesn't look like an easy place to get to. You have to fly into Montgomery, which would almost certainly require a layover unless you charter a flight, and then jump on a bus and drive an hour to Troy. I feel that more than offsets the extra day of rest.

I know some people are going to push back on this and say it doesn't matter and that's fine, but I want to see us mix up the starting lineup. Halligan just doesn't do enough to warrant starting, and isn't helping our slow starts the past two games (not that it is all on him). Lyles Mahaffey Mahaffey Young Johnson Scott/Hardman first off the bench, with Barre gradually getting increased minutes as he gets more practice time in returning from his injury. Use some mix of Halligan/MMK for 5-10 minutes to give you some hustle when you need a boost.

So did EMU, to be fair. But I agree.

I was at that game so I didn't get to see a close up or replay. I have noticed quite a few times when watching games this season that what appeared to me to be a charge got called a block. I'm not just referring to Akron games either.

There was also a very clear forearm shove by emu in the second half, right near the ref and no call

Lyles took 2 charges against portage community college. Ref called them defensive fouls.
