Grammar and spelling- wear sports threds go too dye when their's nothing werth talking about on you're teem.

Yes, thank you for stating the obvious. What about any of my posts indicates that Arth is a successful coach at Akron? Please, show me. You fail to recognize any nuance in these discussions and it’s mind blowing. Truly mind blowing. It isn’t Arth vs. Bowden. It’s Akron vs. Akron. Neither end of tenure Bowden or Tom Arth should be coaching at Akron right now. I’m happy for Terry. He’s in a place where he seems he can do well. And the big difference on his sideline? That punk he had calling plays while at Akron isn’t with him anymore, and he shouldn’t have been here after the 2014 debacle. Instead, there was some success but it never reached its full potential. GO ZIPS!

Wolverines are more talented than their record would suggest. They are well positioned for the role of Big10 spoiler. If they can beat Hoosiers in Bloomington, they are not afraid of Zips in Akron. Zips beware!

That's one narrative. An alternate is Terry Bowden had the team on the right trajectory, a regime change happened and he no longer had the support required to continue the growth. You could bring in Ed Orgeron and things won't improve unless things at the university level change. Change requires will, means, and skill

I got the joke. I just could not pass on a chance to type his name out one last time. I guess I should have gone with my first instinct and said Jim Dennison.

Spouse Like A House. To die for. Handle’s has turned me into an insufferable ice cream snob. Lol

If Kato didn't go down along with the other QB Gibson would still be riding the Bench Thats like having a stacked hand in Spades and playing the wrong cards. Arth is still a clueless coach who needs to Go Arth is Bankrupting this program 3rd season, 2–20 (.091) No more next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could do a shitty job for $400k and get praised for it

I think we have our QB of the future in ZG5. Looking at the stats, ZG5 outplayed Miami's QB, by far if you consider ZG5 didn't have a running game to open up the passing game. 265 yds rushing to less than 70. That's where this game was won/lost, which points to two problems. Defense and the running game. Arth recruited ZG5, and so far that is proving he has the ability to identify at least some talent and bring it in here. He also has shown the ability to snag talented portal transfers - Boating being the guy that comes to mind. I don't count the COVID year against Arth. To me, he's in the middle of his second year as the Akron HC. Should we have been more active during the COVID chaos of the transfer portal? Possibly. Would that have hurt the development of the young guys? Yes. There are certain things that point to "he just doesn't get it at this level," then there are other things that give me a glimmer of hope. So, to me, the main focus of improvement (mostly going into next year since you can't make trades at the college level) is how does Arth improve the two glaring weaknesses - rushing and defense?

I hope you meant this to be funny because it was. The bar for successfully ordering pizza and wings is pretty low. If the Zips can't achieve this level of skill, it must have been really bad.

The team is still crap and Arth needs to go

Maybe we can at least get him on a Zoom call this time. I remember when his name was flying around this site with a few guarantees he was going to be hired. That was right up until he declined to even be interviewed.

It's quite obvious by anyone who watches this team that they lack talent and depth. If you think increasing playing time for walk-ons is going to lead to more success, I don't know what to tell you.

Dam, you guys are brutal for getting are & our mixed up with talk to text. It’s ok, I can handle it 😂. Maybe, instead of a football forum we should make it a proper English forum. Might be more exciting then this current team.

GT's transparent apathy towards his gig as Zips' beat writer used to aggravate me. But I'm beginning to feel sorry for him for having to cover the football team every week.

No. And don't post such blasphemy. 😁
