  1. I’m looking at the Akron live sports market. If you can’t grasp that, let’s try something else. Toledo market size: 518,300, the university has 15,013 enrollment. Attendance: 21,352 Akron market size: 556,000, and the university has 25,117 enrollment. Attendance: 7,237 The difference? Fanbase engagement. Student engagement. Winning helps too. Toledo eats our lunch when it comes to marketing.

  2. The first home opener at InfoCision was one of the best football atmospheres I've ever been a part of. It felt like a big-time game and the crowd was electric (at least when the game was close for that first quarter lol). It was more fun than I've had at any Browns game or even when I went down to State College to watch the Zips play PSU. We have one of the nicer stadiums in D1. Football is king in Northeast Ohio. If the Zips ever become relevant again, the fans will come.

  3. Gameday at a Toledo game is a better experience for athletes students alumni fans and general community than Akron. It's been like this for decades. Toledo puts their best foot forward with a good program and people respond. We should be more like Toledo.

  7. I've been in Hilton Head in January and have experienced the same thing. In fact, I've seen an extremely small amount of snow on the ground before. If you want to feel small, walk along the ocean without anyone around for a couple hundred yards. It provides perspective.

  8. This game is degrading. It's degrading for Akron because of it trades money for humiliation. It's degrading for OSU because they are paying a team just to make money and humiliate them. It's gross. College football is just gross anymore. Think of it like this. Howard Stern used to pay strippers to come in and he would throw balogna slices at their backsides. The women degraded themselves for money. Stern degraded himself by participating in a degrading event. I used to think it was funny. Now I think it's stupid. I used to think games against OSU were good for the program. Now I'm certain they are stupid and a sign the athletic director doesn't know what to do to change the culture of the program.
