It’s a a start on the beer. I’ve been suggesting it to the marketing people for years. Make it fun. Bring local companies in. There’s a different Akron area brewery for every home game on the schedule for crying out loud. It’s so obvious!!!

Not at all. That is the supposed “whew” emoji.

We're a day from being back in the JAR. As much as we complain about that barn of an arena, it'll be nice to be back. NWAkron's t-shirt cannon PTSD should be kicking in any minute!

big sigh of relief Billikens win 4-2 in 4 rounds of PK Billikens led 11-3 in shots and 9-0 in corners St. Louis improves to 13-0-4....and advances to final..

St.Louis wins the shootout, 4-2.

Number 83 Fordham going to penalty kicks with 13-0-3 St. Louis in Atlantic 10 semis lets go Billikens akron needs Atlantic 10 to be a 1 bid league

Fair enough, but I think there are also deeper problems. It makes no sense to me that in the third season with Feeney at the helm, the defense can be in a position where a Buffalo TE can catch a drag route at the 40 yard line and run in a wide open field with not a single Akron defender appearing in the camera frame until he gets to the 10 yard line. I would say the defensive backfield has improved, but far too often things like that happen on coverages. That goes beyond personnel. As a poster said in another thread on the WMU game winning TD, sure he was covered, but the safety, I can't remember who, used the totally incorrect technique by attempting to undercut the route and the throw went over the top and was caught. It's easy for me to say, but the obvious thing to do it stay high and keep the receiver from catching it instead of trying to pick it off or whatever it is he was doing. To me, the ineptitude of the defensive backfield is far more scheming than it is talent. Up front, it's talent and size all day long. A Rodney Coe-like transfer would have been awesome this season.

Both Gen Z’er season ticket holders will be stoked.

Kato can play cornerback anytime he wants. Only UA would waste valuable snaps with this guy at QB.

I agree with you on your assessment of Gibson and somewhat about Irons but I am not sure at this point we will need to bring in 4 mature offensive lineman. I do agree that bringing in a couple of experienced guys to compete at Tackle and/or provide depth with our current crew is advisable but these young players, from an eligibility perspective, some of which are Juniors, are now battle tested. With another year of strength training and coaching, they should be as good as any that you would get to come to Akron from the portal. Personally, I would be happy if we kept our new offensive line coach that replaced Coach Zagorski. In the short time since he has taken the reins, he has made several changes and the offensive line has really responded.

Miller Lite...White Claw...Corona...? I thought you said they were selling beer?😁 I guess it's a start.

I think the search committee is Guthrie and the Prez, and I bet they already have their man. We could make an announcement at season's end giving the new man a couple weeks to put together his early class. That early class will leave plenty of room form transfers.

Ali waved Trimble off for the go ahead 3 w/ 6 seconds left in the game. That was a great shot & I was glad to see him have confidence like that.

True, fact, subjectively true, objectively true. Irons is not an FBS QB, but 3 weeks ago many on this forum thought he was the ONLY talent on the team.

And in the other ACC semi, Clemson totally dominates Duke, outshooting them 27-4 (!) , 6-1 SOG, 10-3 corners ... and loses 0-1. My theory is that the reason that soccer is so popluar in the third world is that it illustrates the fundamental unfairness of life. Duke moving up to #3 in RPI drops Pitt down to #5.

Saw on zipsmbb instagram page that he signed his NLI today
