The reception was a nice event. Groce starts speaking and half of the room wants to run through a wall for him. He did allude to something negative that he hoped they could treat as a learning experience and I got the sense it was the YSU scrimmage. Tavari, Baker and Prather were not present so I assume they had class. Ali Ali is still awaiting approval from the NCAA. The new women's coach really made a good impression on the crowd Enrique was a real pro in front of the crowd. Same for Reagan Bass.

Classic Groce wasting roster spots. Can we still hire Dru Joyce??? Get this clown outta here!

I'm glad I'll be working and being productive; I'll watch the score on my phone. Maybe we can run the ball enough to score some points regardless of who's the QB. And maybe the game trophy should be changed from the wagon wheel to the garbage can.

The only way we could move our programs anywhere is if the MAC stopped sponsoring that particular sport. In regards to the BigEast T & F programs, we would do well once our programs get back to the level they were when coach Mitchell was here. Don't be fooled by the men winning the outdoor track championships last May. The program would nor crack the top 5 of BigEast programs right now, and the women are nowhere close to competing in the MAC, let alone The BigEast. On the Men's side, beside Brian Masai, our best printer was 120th in the nation, our 4 x 400 relay team that won the MAC was 184th in the nation. Think about that. We had one sprinter in the top 200 in every running category, except the 400 hurdles and Harkelroad was top 25. No middle distance runners, no distance runners (Masai excepted) in the top 200 in the ocuntry. Our throws guys were top 100, our LJ/TJ top 100, but that's it. Compare that to past teams. I'm hoping for improvement, cheering fro the athletes, but don't be fooled by what the administration is trying to paint as a success. Our best HJ was 150th in the nation. When we hosted the indoor BigEast meets, there was no SPIRE or OceanFirst complexes to host such events, and Akron's 300 meter indoor track was unique at the time. Can't match the new indoor and outdoor facilities in the East or Chicago now, plus the ammenities of the cities.

We could've given Prince Mosengo a shot!!!!

He's taking a spot Taylor Currie could be occupying, damnit!

You'd be surprised how short the typical fan's memory is after someone puts up a nice stat line in their first game back.

I would hope this is the NCAA dragging their feet and not Akron. Whoever it is, completely unacceptable for this to run into the season.

I have forgotten about Jankowski. He came in with great potential. He just might be the spark we need. I'm now looking for one of our 3 untested QB's to start.

Revealed last night, he is also a Swiftie! The team loves him.

Agreed. He's a positive asset to the University strictly from a personality/ra-ra guy. Great to have him on board.

Coach Gensler is extremely supportive of other Zips' programs on X He retweets any positive tweet about all other Zips programs.

This is the most difficult is has ever been in the history of this rivalry to get excited for the game. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating. After all, I wasn't exactly expecting to win in 2019-2021. Anyway, this would be a devastating and unacceptable loss. And the unfortunate thing is, I'm not expecting to win. I'm not sure there is any position on the entire field where Kent has a talent advantage, yet this Akron team has done everything in its power to keep me from believing in them. I hope and pray that this game is a fairly comfortable win as it really should be. Reality is, it will be a rock/pillow fight. ugh. Go Zips! 🥲

He verbally committed to Arth’s staff per their X posts in October of ‘21. He probably didn’t sign his NLI in December because of the uncertainty around the new hire. JoMo and Fessler closed the deal in January because they had only been on the job 2 weeks and hadn’t time to recruit anybody. My point is that Jennings is not Moorhead’s kid, nor Jankowski. Wasel is a different story but if they don’t give him a chance in last 4 games given where the season stands ( and his redshirt intact) then that may say something about their initial evaluation of him. I personally wish they would give Jankowski a start against the other worst team in FBS. With almost zero experience in three years, he has just a good a chance as what we’ve seen.

Ali’s hearing is apparently this week, and then it’s another couple weeks until the NCAA is expected to give its verdict. Not looking like he’s gonna be available for those initial marquee ooc games. Hope for the best, I guess…

When a movable object meets a stoppable force...

We hosted the Big East indoor championships a few years ago. Wonder if there's any chance of us moving our T&F and CC teams to the Big East? (Or if we'd even want to, Idk?)

Accusing Jared of playing for ties is ridiculous. It's also not realistic to blame all of our ties on the other team parking the bus which wasn't always the issue.

For Jared to respond like this is unusual. He knows there are idiots out there who will use any medium available to prove they are idiots. Jared wants to win more than any of us. He is doing all he can to make that happen. Many schools, even in the BE, play for a tie. Coaches want to keep their jobs and if they can park the bus in front of their goal for 90 minutes they can tell their AD and fans that they tied mighty Akron. If I had responded to this person I would have ended with an F U. That's why I'm not the coach. He has more class and we are lucky to have him.

I'm looking forward to Steele puttting some whip cream on this game. He will cinnamon stick it to Cant. This kid performed at a high level in HS; that is why we recruited him. It will be best to find out now if we haVe our QB of the future.
