Another game day, another day to drink haha. I just hope we show up with some kind of energy about us. Indiana is not unbeatable and I think we can hang with them defensively, just not sure about our QB play. We shall see. Oh and first time poster here, Browns fan haha, and a Tar Heels basketball fan also. Got a Master's degree from Akron back in 2018 and been a fan since.🙂

Yardwork done. Couch, meet my ass. Ass, meet the couch. Time to settle in for the rest of the day. What a slate we have that leads up to the game of the night - Akron vs Indiana. For some reason, I have growing optimism. Maybe it's because I'm watching some decent offenses and thinking Akron's offense can't be putrid 4 weeks in a row. Maybe it's the vitamin D. Who knows, but LET'S GO ZIPS!

For what it's worth, CollegeHoopsTop50.com has Akron winning the MAC this year. With other league powers facing the task of replacing proven stars and the outstanding duo of Enrique Freeman and Ali Ali joining forces for one more run, the Zips are going to be too much to handle. If Tribble can knock down a few jumpers this year, he and Thornton will be a terrific duo to keep Freeman fed, and Sammy Hunter & Tavari Johnson are poised to take big steps forward. If you'd like to hear almost 3,000 more words about why we think the Zips will be the class of the conference, check out the full-length preview here: https://collegehoopstop50.com/2023/09/23/92-akron-zips/

First road game in the Big East. Let’s get a whole 3 points this time

Maybe only one BTN channel subscription on your TV. Try loggin into Fox Sports app with TV provider info and you should see it. Good 3 and out by the D to start it off.

Radio broadcast really stretching out the pre game. Sounds like the teams just took the field.

Wow really impressive in-depth, accurate review. Somebody did their homework.

All of Zips first 8 opponents RPI went up tonight.

I must have missed the first signature win! was that St. Francis or NIU??

I'm not really sure where to post this, but the Pat McAfee Show is/was live from South Bend today. If you've ever watched McAfee, he has a member of his crew that does a damn near flawless Lou Holtz impression. Today, the most amazing thing happened and Lou Holtz got to interview Lou Holtz. "I graduated from Kent State and our motto is Can't Read, Can't Write, Kent State."

If... IF... IIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFF... Akron magically finds an offense that can consistently move the ball, Akron wins this game. The defense is good enough - in fact the defense is probably one of the best defenses in the MAC, maybe just behind Ohio - to win any game they play. They need complementary football to get over the hump and into the Win column. With the epicenter of the college football world being in South Bend this weekend, just a few hours north of Bloomington and Touchdown Jesus overlooking in the background, it feels appropriate for a Ricky Bobby prayer... Dear Baby Football Jesus, in your golden, fleece diapers. Please use your baby football Jesus powers to bless Akron with a miraculous offense. One with competent QB play and an abundance of touches for the running backs. We can only hope that with these miracles, Akron can pull off the upset and extend the streak of the MAC being the Big Ten's kryptonite. Woo! WOO! Owww! Competent offense: 31-20 Akron Status quo offense: 27-10 IU

Looks like there have been TONS of offers sent out in the last few days per X.

I'm feeling pretty discouraged. We don't have a QB & can't drive the football. We & the Browns look to be in identical situations - other than QB play we've got a great team. Unfortunately, QB is the most important single position in all of sports.
